+## What's new in Android
+
+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
+
+
+#### Curated Changes from the Git Commit Logs, check release notes for a
