Platforms will catch up to 4.0.0 soon enough. > CLI version is currently "3.5.0-0.2.7-dev". We need to change it to something thats valid semver, and preferably somewhat compatible with the previous versions. Choices I think are: - 3.6.0 - 4.0.0 - A Complete reset I'm also in favour of 4.0.0 given those options. I am mildly concerned that with the looming 4.0 releases of platforms, users will think this is a cad-ver update and not appreciate the change of strategy, but partially think that may be a good thing too (slow comfortable transition). > > > > > Release Process: > > - Tag cordova-js for each platform release with "PLATFORM-VERSION" > > - Rewrite > > > https://github.com/apache/cordova-coho/blob/master/docs/cadence-release-process.md > > as "platforms-release-process" >
