The current breaking change is that you cannot create a new project using cordova-lib directly, without providing a project template to import from. cordova-cli works as it always has, and will provide the app-hello-world as a default if you do not use --copy-from / --link-to.
However, writing that explanation out now, I realize I could just change cordova-lib to be the one to depend on cordova-app-hello-world and do the defaulting there, and not break compatibility. I think I originally envisioned the cordova-lib script to be more "primitive", but its already doing a tremendous amount of input handling and backwards compat workarounds. Probably I can just make this adjustment. -Michal On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 4:57 PM, Nikhil Khandelwal <nikhi...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Michal: I'm new to this area - can you please elaborate why this change > could potentially break downstream distributions?
