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

### 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

### Release 4.0.0 (March 2015) ###

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 plugin developers.

#### Major Changes ####
* Support for pluggable WebViews
  * The system WebView can be replaced in your app, via a plugin
  * Core WebView functionality is encapsulated, with extension points exposed
    via interfaces
* Support for Crosswalk to bring the modern Chromium WebView to older devices
  * Uses the pluggable WebView framework
  * You will need to add the new [cordova-crosswalk-engine](https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/cordova-crosswalk-engine) plugin
* Splash screen functionality is now provided via plugin
  * You will need to add the new [cordova-plugin-splashscreen](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen) plugin to continue using a splash screen
* Whitelist functionality is now provided via plugin (CB-7747)
  * The whitelist has been enhanced to be more secure and configurable
  * Setting of Content-Security-Policy is now supported by the framework (see details in plugin readme)
  * You will need to add the new [cordova-plugin-whitelist](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist) plugin
  * Legacy whitelist behaviour is still available via plugin (although not recommended).

Changes For Plugin Developers:

* Develop in Android Studio
  * Android Studio is now fully supported, and recommended over Eclipse
* Build using Gradle
  * All builds [use Gradle by default](Android%20Shell%20Tool%20Guide_building_with_gradle), instead of Ant
  * Plugins can add their own gradle build steps!
  * Plugins can depend on Maven libraries using `<framework>` tags
* New APIs: `onStart`, `onStop`, `onConfigurationChanged`
