## Release Notes for Cordova (Android) ## ## Release Notes for Cordova (Android) ##
### 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
* The whitelist has been enhanced to be more secure and configurable
* 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).
* Refer to the updated Whitelist Guide in the Cordova documentation
Changes For Plugin Developers:
* Develop in Android Studio
* Android Studio is now fully supported, and recommended over Eclipse
* Build using Gradle
