Hi,

I was whipping up a plugin a couple days ago for iOS that needed to push a 
modal view controller much like ChildBrowser does: 

presentModalViewController:animated: 

I looked at how ChildBrowser managed this from within a plugin and tried 
implementing it in my plugin, but got a great many warnings about deprecations. 
I looked into it and these are the deprecations that were part of the changes 
made to support using PhoneGap/Cordova as a component in 1.4.x. I imagine the 
widely used ChildBrowser will also be affected. 

the ticket at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-166 mentions upgrade 
docs are planned, but they seemed to be more about upgrading projects ("create 
a new project", yadda yadda) more so than upgrading from a plugin standpoint.

tl;dr version:

Is there a plan for a guide on upgrading plugins that rely on 
PhoneGapViewController or [super appController] etc?


To be honest, I would be just as happy with someone updating ChildBrowser so I 
can mooch off that work, but it would be nice for plugin devs to have a bit 
more documentation. Plugins break with new releases quite frequently causing 
issues for the devs as well as implementers of the plugins.

Just for the record, I am not just complaining, I am also putting my hand up 
for that documentation if I can help.
