+---
+
+We would like to announce that `Cordova Android 6.4.0` has been released!
+
+
+Due to the recent changes **Google** made to Android Studio, Cordova Android
now requires that Gradle be installed as a dependency for Android development
on all platforms. We will be removing the code that uses Android Studio as a
dependency in the near future. This release now uses the latest Android Gradle
plugin that was released with Android Studio 3.0.
+
+**Google** has changed the Gradle DSL used and currently support for the
Crosswalk WebView is broken in this version of Cordova as a result.
Unfortunately, since Crosswalk is no longer supported by the Crosswalk Project,
we do not know whether this issue will be fixed. If you require support for
Crosswalk, we recommend that you continue using cordova-android 6.3.0 at this
time and avoid using your project with Android Studio.
+
+
+To upgrade:
+
+ npm install -g cordova
+ cd my_project
+ cordova platform update android@6.4.0
+
+To add it explicitly:
+
+ cordova platform add android@6.4.0
