Subject: [DISCUSS] Cordova-windows 4.0.0 release

Does anyone have reason to delay this release? This is the first release with 
Windows 10 support and has a breaking change that requires an accompanying 
tools release. Hence, I propose we version it 4.0.0

Here are the next steps:

-  Prepare blog for the release include details of support of Windows 
10.

-  Do an accompany DOCS & TOOLS release.

I have created a JIRA issue for this: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9064

I have made updates to the RELEASENOTES.md:
[4.0.0-dev]
* Updating appx manifest to a large extent now happens in the `prepare` step as 
opposed to the `build` step. This change implies that cordova-windows 4.0.0 can 
only work with with cordova CLI > 5.0
* CB-8486 Support for creating signed package and build.json for Windows
* Add preview support for Windows 10 Universal Apps. To target Windows 10, add 
`` to config.xml.
* The default windows target version is now 8.1.
* Support for `--appx` command line argument to override the windows target 
version
* CB-8946: Added the `WindowsToastCapable` preference to indicate that the app 
can support toasts.  This is to support the Local Notifications plugin.
* CB-8856 Fix 'Id' attribute is invalid when creating Windows Store submission 
build
* CB-8307: Adding a 25-year expiration temporary certificate.
* CB-8760 platform list doesn't show version for windows platform.

**Known Issues with 4.0.0-dev and Windows 10**
* Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 does not have a command-line compatible 
emulator deployment scenario.  To deploy to an emulator, open your solution 
file in Visual Studio.
* The Windows SDK included with Visual Studio 2015 RC does not include a tool 
to deploy to a Windows 10 Phone.  To deploy to a phone, open your solution file 
in Visual Studio.
* WinJS is included inline in the package.  In the future, it will be migrated 
to an NPM dependency, and the dependency will not include any UI-related files. 
 You should not take a dependency on WinJS UI functionality unless you include 
it yourself (see [WinJS on Github](http://github.com/winjs/winjs)).

Thanks,
Nikhil
