Reviving this thread. After the hangout today, the proposal now is: 1. Integrate the "wkwebview" (pluggable webviews) branch into the 4.x branch, instead of releasing it for the 3.8.0 branch. This is so it will be aligned with cordova-android 4.x which has pluggable webviews 2. Once tested and reviewed, release cordova-ios 4.x branch
In effect: - pluggable webviews will not exist in any 3.x version - any new 3.x releases will be security/critical fixes only, no new features On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 4:29 PM, Shazron <shaz...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am proposing to integrate the aforementioned branch into the > mainline, for a cordova-ios 3.8.0 release in the future. > > I will do testing using mobile-spec and the core plugins before I do > this merge, and report back my findings to the list (including docs). > I intend to spend the rest of the week on this. > > Contrary to the name of the branch, this does *not* include direct > WKWebView support.
