>Will 2.9.1 be available as a zip download? What changes will it include >(in addition to the video duration issue)? I think you are talking about cordova-cli. The tools are versioned separately from the libraries, so 2.9.2, for example, does not contain any updates to the libraries, only to the tools. So the answer is no. > >The latest version on npm is 2.9.2 but the VERSION is "dev". Is there an >official date for this (and 2.9.1)? No. The updates to the tools, especially patch versions, are released as issues are found and resolved _for the tools themselves_. Minor revisions are generally updated on the monthly releases of updates to the libraries. > >We would like to make a decision very soon on migrating from 2.7 to >2.9.x but facing a few hurdles >https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4149 This issue reports a cordova-js issue, not a cli issue.
