## Release Notes for Cordova (Android) ##
### 6.0.0 (Oct 20, 2016)
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
