LGTM I don't think Android N is going to change that much like you said. Let's move forward as usual , create a branch 6.x on main repo and start that release stream
Start landing features from the list below and have a board to track was left. When it's done it's done when ever that's it and we release regardless of official date of Android N (it might along or be bit after) And as normal process we need to care and feed both branches (master & 6.x) having them green and CI testing as Android N builds come out. Any plugins need a 6.x branch corresponding to cordova-android@6.x branch, I don't think so but is good to ask. - Carlos @csantanapr > On May 24, 2016, at 4:07 PM, Joe Bowser <bows...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I picked September because it's after when Android N is released.
