+---
+
+We are happy to announce that `Cordova Android 6.2.0` has been released!
+
+This release has fixed issues introduced by the **Android SDK Tools
25.3.1** release. **Google** dropped support for the `android` binary, so
`cordova-android` has now adopted support for the `avdmanager` and `sdkmanager`
binaries. We have also taken the opportunity to rewrite how we use gradle on
the users system.
+
+This release also adds support for the `<resource-file>` element in
`config.xml` which copies specified files during a `cordova prepare`. This
allows providing arbitrary files such as special notification-sized icons, or
API configuration JSON files.
+
+To upgrade:
+
+ npm install -g cordova
+ cd my_project
+ cordova platform update android@6.2.0
+
+To add it explicitly:
+
+ cordova platform add android@6.2.0
+
+This release will have to be explicitly added until the upcoming
`cordova@7` release, where it will be pinned as the default android platform.

+## What's new in Android
+* [CB-12614](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12614) Adding
headers to tests
+* [CB-8978](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8978) Prepare copy
`resource-files` from `config.xml`
+* [CB-12605](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12605) Fix a
requirements check failure on **Windows**
+* [CB-12595](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12595) This should
find an **Android Studio** installation and use the sweet gradle center found
inside
+* [CB-12546](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12546) leverage
`avdmanager` if `android` warns it is no longer useful, which happens in
**Android SDK Tools 25.3.1**. Explicitly set the `CWD` of the spawned emulator
process to workaround a recent google android sdk bug. Rename
`android_sdk_version.js` to `android_sdk.js`, to better reflect its contents.
Have `create.js` copy over the `android_sdk_version` batch file.

I'd remove this: "Rename `android_sdk_version.js` to `android_sdk.js`, to
better reflect its contents. " - not useful to end users.
I would also reword the last sentence - this was actually a bug where the
batch file for `android_sdk_version` would not exist in a generated
cordova-android project. I am thinking: "Actually include the
`android_sdk_version.bat` file in generated cordova-android projects for our
lovely Windows users."
