Filip Maj commented on CB-560:
------------------------------
Yeah, sorry about the removal of the various namespaces sans notice. Since 1.6,
we have agreed on a [deprecation
policy|http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/DeprecationPolicy] but obviously dropped
the ball on this again.
I have added back in the upper-case {{Cordova}} global in commit
[2557ed|http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cordova-js.git;a=commit;h=2557edf0].
Will be more careful about this stuff moving forward.
Related is CB-298, wherein we actually add the deprecation notices.

> Environment: From
> https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/phonegap/2G5OPKV_FdQ

> From 1.4 to 1.5, the namespace was changed from PhoneGap to Cordova which was
> breaking all of the existing plugins. I eventually provided a shim class but
> it was too late to stop the pain. Then in Javascript only Cordova was changed
> to cordova, breaking the iOS plugins yet again. I noticed in cordova (1.6.0)
> JS:
> if (!window.PhoneGap) {
> window.PhoneGap = cordova;
> }
> This should have been done for Cordova like:
> if (!Cordova) {
> Cordova = cordova;
> }
> Yes we should be deprecating the old namespaces for removal in another major
> release. Any API changes made before a major release should be made with a
> workaround, to be deprecated, and tested with some plugins before shipping.
