----
-We are happy to announce the release of `cordova-windows 6.0.0`.
-
-This is a major release that changes functionality you might rely on, so
please make sure to read the following list of changes:
-
-## Changes
-
-- **Windows 10 / UWP** builds are now default, meaning `cordova build windows`
will now build a Windows 10 UWP app by default. Windows (Phone) 8.1 is still
supported of course, just use `cordova build windows -- --appx=8.1-win`,
`cordova build windows -- --appx=8.1-phone` or an equivalent configuration
option.
-- You can now build apps with a current installation of **Visual Studio 2017**
(`15.5.x` at the time of writing) without any additional configuration or hacks
(like the environment variable `VSINSTALLDIR` that was required for 5.0.0).
- * Note: [Visual Studio 2017 doesn't support Windows 8.1 apps any
more](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/vs2017-compatibility-vs#windows-store-and-windows-phone-apps),
so you can only build these apps with Visual Studio 2015 installed.
-- New **ENV variable `MSBUILDDIR`** allows to directly configure the MSBuild
Tools to be used to build the app. While `VSINSTALLDIR` always has been a hack
that accidentally also worked to switch between different MSBuildTools
versions, we now we this functionality explicit: Just set the ENV var to a
your desired MSBuild folder (e.g. `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin` or `C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\`) and it will be used to buil [...]
- * If you have Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015 installed at the
same time, the normal logic would always choose Visual Studio 2017's MSBuild 15
- and fail on a Windows (Phone) 8.1 project. If you set the environment
variable MSBuild 14, it can successfully build your 8.1 apps.
- * If the supplied path is invalid or doesn't contain a working MSBuild,
the normal MSBuild selection logic will be triggered
-- Fixes several bugs
-
-## Installation
-
-As usual this new version will be added as the default `cordova-windows`
version only with the next release of Cordova CLI. Until then, please use these
commands to remove and re-add the `windows` platform:
-
-```
-cordova platform rm windows
-cordova platform add windows@6.0.0
-```
-
-### Known limitations
-
-As it's often the case, the 6.0.0 release of cordova-windows is not perfect
and has some known limitations:
-
-- If you only have Visual Studio 2017 installed on your machine, you can not
build Windows (Phone) 8.1 apps.
-- "Windows 10 Phone emulator is currently not supported. If you want to deploy
to emulator, use Visual Studio instead."
-- [Some `build`](https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/issues/266) and
[requirements error
messages](https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/issues/267) are a bit
misleading
-
-## Feedback
-
-If you encounter problems with this new version, you can use the [GitHub
issues of the `cordova-windows`
repository](https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/issues) to do so now.
(`cordova-windows` is the first Apache Cordova repository on GitHub that
enabled issue tracking. Yay!)
-
-## Open questions
-
-Working on this update showed how much code is there to support other platform
variants beside Windows 10 desktop.
-
-TODO refine
-
-- Is Windows 8.1 support still needed or would it make sense to get rid of
_really_ much code and do a 7.0.0 release that drops support for that?
-- Windows 10 Phone? Still relevant?
-- Where should the project move? What is missing? What should be supported?
What do you need?
-
-Please help us decide how to further develop `cordova-windows` by answering
these questions below in the comments. Thanks!
