+
+We are happy to announce that we have just released `Cordova Android 9.1.0`!
This is one of Cordova's supported platforms for building Android mobile
applications.
+
+* [cordova-android@9.1.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-android)
+
+**To upgrade:**
+
+```bash
+cordova platform remove android
+cordova platform add android@9.1.0
+```
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+In this minor release, there are various refactoring and bug fixes.
Additionally, there were a few new features.
+
+Some of the new feature highlights are:
+
+* **Added Custom Gradle Repositories Support**
+
+ Sometimes there are third-party libraries that do not exist in the
repositories that we have defined. With this feature, developers now have an
easier way to override the default repository list that we have defined in the
Gradle build scripts.
+
+ Additionally, as JFrog is sunsetting the JCenter repository, developers
can remove it, at their own risk. Since this a minor release, we have not
removed JCenter as one of the default repositories as it would be considered a
breaking change.
+
+* **Support `webp` Images for SplashScreen**
+
+ Previously we only supported `png` file formats for splash screens as
`webp` support was only introduced starting from API 17. Since
`cordova-android@9.x` minimum SDK version was raised to 22, the introduction of
`webp` support became possible.
+
+ `webp` file formats are known to support transparency and provide the same
or similar quality as `png` files, but its greatest benefit is that it can
reduce the image file size by around 25%.
+
+Please report any issues you find at
[issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!
