This also means that we will no longer be supporting > Ice Cream Sandwich. > > So, the plan is as follows: > > 1. Create a branch for 5.x off the current master. > 2. Commit all changes to 6.0.x into master > 3. Issue 5.x releases off the 5.x branch (minor changes) > 4. Release 6.0.x with Android N > > Remember that 5.0.x should work with Android N but will lack multi-window > support and run in a legacy mode. The main goals with Android 6 is to do > the following. > > 1. Allow bridges to be thread-safe so that multiple webviews could exist. > (Although not work with any complex plugins such as Camera, which requires > access to a CordovaInterface and plugin manager.) > 2. Android N compatibility > > For Android 6.0.x, we want to add the two following branches into master: > https://github.com/infil00p/cordova-android/tree/api24 > https://github.com/phonegap/cordova-android/tree/building_bridges > > Since I'll be going on break with the rest of Adobe, I won't be doing this > until July 11th, so there's plenty of time for people to review this. > However, at the same time, I'm going to assume that if I don't hear > anything that it's all good to go ahead with this approach and move forward > with a 6.0.x release. The new bridge code has an API change that affects > Crosswalk, since Crosswalk needs to add a new method for the sendJavascript > bridge to work properly, since we brought back that deprecated feature. > > I know this is a long e-mail, but it would be great if we could get our > release happening shortly after Google releases Android N, whatever N is > (we'll know later today, I have to check Snapchat). > > Any thoughts and feedback would be welcome. > > Joe >
