+ <p>We are happy to announce that <code class="prettyprint">Cordova
Android 5.1.0</code> has been released.</p>
+
+<p>This update introduces a new API for Android plugin authors. Plugins that
launch external activities can now better handle method calls on devices that
are low on memory. In that scenario, the Android OS will sometimes kill the
Cordova Activity when it is pushed into the background by the external
Activity. This causes the plugin to lose any callbacks they have pending in the
javascript. The new API allows the results of external Activity calls to be
delivered via the resume event that is fired in the javascript after the
Cordova Activity is destroyed and recreated. Plugin authors wishing to
implement the new API should read the updated plugin guide <a
href="http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/guide/platforms/android/plugin.html";>here</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Two core plugins support this new API and have been updated to fix
longstanding bugs:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code class="prettyprint">[email protected]</code> (fixes <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9189";>CB-9189</a>)</li>
+<li><code class="prettyprint">[email protected]</code> (fixes <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9189";>CB-10159</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Application authors are encouraged to update both their plugin and
cordova-android versions to take advantage of these bug fixes. Please note that
the aforementioned fixes require changes to your application as well. More
information can be found in the READMEs of each of those plugins and in the new
<a
href="http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/guide/platforms/android/lifecycle.html";>Android
lifecycle guide</a> that has been published to the Cordova documentation. This
guide provides explanations and guidance on how to handle low memory scenarios
on the Android platform as well as integrate the new resume APIs into your
application.</p>
