+
+We are happy to announce that we have just released an update for
`cordova-plugin-geolocation`!
+
+*
[cordova-plugin-geolocation@5.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-geolocation)
+
+**To upgrade:**
+
+```bash
+cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-geolocation
+cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation@5.0.0
+```
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+* **Modern JavaScript**
+
+The JavaScript of the plugin has been upgraded to use ES6 features, such as
`let` and `const`.
+
+**NOTE**: This release has failed to upgrade required engines. Despite the
declared requirement on `cordova-android` >= 6.3.0 and no declared requirement
on iOS, the new minimum requirements will be:
+
+- cordova-ios 6 or later
+- cordova-android 10 or later
+
+Earlier versions of these platforms may not work as expected. As always, it
will be recommended to use the latest version available.
+The engines _may be corrected_ in a patch release at a later date.
+
+* **Cordova Windows Support Drop**
+
+Support for the deprecated
[cordova-windows](https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows) platform has been
dropped and entirely removed in this release.
+
+### Notable Fixes
+
+* **Sanity check on Geolocation serialization on iOS**
+
+ A rare occurrence of `Infinity` values would cause a crash during JSON
serialization on iOS. This is now caught and will now produce a Position
Unavailable error gracefully.
+
+* **Improved Android Permission Handling**
+
+ Android has received fixes for when handling coarse vs fine location
permissions for improved compatibility on Android 12+ devices. Android will now
handle the following situations:
+
+ 1. Permission request that consists of only `COARSE` location.
+ 2. Permission request that consists of both `COARSE` and `FINE` (high
accuracy) location.
+ 3. Permission upgrade for when `COARSE` is granted, but `FINE` is required.
+
+For more details on these changes, see the
[PR](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/pull/250).
+
+* **Improved W3C Compliance**
+
+Fixes has been made to the `heading` and `speed` to better conform to the [W3C
Geolocation
API](https://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation/#constructing-a-geolocationposition)
specification. If either of these values are not determined to be expected
valid range, they will now return `null` to provide better consistency between
Cordova and other web environments.

Bug](https://github.com/apache/cordova#filing-a-bug) guide!
