+
+### 6.2.3 (May 2, 2017)

+* [CB-12640](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12640) flipped avd parsing logic so that it always tries to use avdmanager to retrieve avds first, then falls back to android command if avdmanager cannot be found (and errors with ENOENT). updated tests - and added explicit tests to ensure to shell out to singular forms of sub-commands when executing `android`
+* [CB-12640](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12640) support for android sdk tools 26.0.1.
+

+* [CB-12595](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12595) This should find an **Android Studio** installation and use the sweet gradle center found inside
+* [CB-12546](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12546) leverage `avdmanager` if `android` warns it is no longer useful, which happens in **Android SDK Tools 25.3.1**. Explicitly set the `CWD` of the spawned emulator process to workaround a recent google android sdk bug. Rename `android_sdk_version.js` to `android_sdk.js`, to better reflect its contents. Have `create.js` copy over the `android_sdk_version` batch file.
+* [CB-12524](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12524) Fix for missing gradle template error. This now fetches the template from inside of the **Android Studio** directory, and falls back to a locally installed Gradle instance
+* [CB-12465](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12465) Writing new JUnit Test Instrumentation to replace tests and retire problmatic tests

+* [CB-12169](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12169) Check for build directory before running a clean
+* Fixed `AndroidStudio` tests to actually run, removed `app/src/main/assets/` as a requirement and added `app/src/main/res` instead, added placeholder for `build/` folder, Removed dupe `gitignore`
+
+### 6.1.0 (Nov 02, 2016)
+* [CB-12108](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12108) Updating gradle files to work with the latest version of Android Studio

+
+This release adds significant functionality, and also introduces a number
+of breaking changes.  Some of the changes to the code base will be of
+particular interest to third party webview plugin developers.
+
+#### Major Changes ####
+* Primary bridge is the EVAL_BRIDGE, which tells the WebView to execute JS directly.  This is more stable than the ONLINE_EVENT bridge
+* Full Support for Android Nougat (API 24)
+* Ice Cream Sandwich Support has been deprecated.  Minimum Supported Android Version is Jellybean (API 16/ Android 4.1)
+* Plugin Installation now CLEANS the build directory, this speeds up gradle build times and allows for CLI develoment to be more predictable
+
+Changes For Third-Party WebView Developers:
+* executeJavascript method added and is an abstract method that must be implemented
+* the EVAL_BRIDGE must be added to the WebView
+
