Apache Cordova was developed so mobile phone applications could be developed using solely HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Cordova handles the underbellies of an application, features like camera, battery or accelerometer details.

It still needs an user interface framework like Dojo Mobile, jQuery Mobile or Sencha Touch, but when used correctly, programmers could create apps from a single JS & HTML codebase, instead of N versions for N different devices and mobile OSs.

What is new in this release:

  • Plugins have been renamed and the Cordova-CLI now supports fetching plugins from npm. We highly recommend reading about it in the plugins release blog post.
  • <feature> tags have been renamed to <plugin> tags in your projects config.xml. Adding a <plugin> tag to your config.xml will fetch and install it on cordova prepare if it isn't already installed.
  • Cordova Android@4.0.0 has been released and pinned as the default version for new projects. This includes support for pluggable WebViews! Read about it in the Android 4.0.0 release blog post.
  • Our template app, Cordova App Hello World, has been moved to npm.
  • Added the ability to manage your plugin and platform dependencies in your project's config.xml. When adding plugins or platforms, use the --save flag to add them to config.xml. Ex: cordova platform add android --save. Existing projects can use cordova plugin save and cordova platform save commands to save all previously installed plugins and platforms into your project's config.xml. Platforms and plugins will be autorestored when cordova prepare is run. This allows developers to easily manage and share their dependenceis among different development enviroments and with their coworkers.
