RE: [Discuss] Deprecate platform Windows 8.0

2016-02-02 Thread Sergey Shakhnazarov (Akvelon)
Hi guys,

Please review the PR [1] removing Windows 8.0 project, specific code, 
references and adding a deprecation message:
"windows8 platform is deprecated. To use windows-target-version=8.0 you may 
downgrade to cordova-windows@4."

The target version for this is cordova-windows@5 as this will be a breaking 
change.

It would be great to get some feedback on the wording as well.

[1]: https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/pull/147 

Please let me know if you have any questions or considerations.

Best regards,
Sergey Shakhnazarov.

+1 on deprecation to the platform. I think we should also ensure that all 
plugins now refer to Windows instead of windows8 platform.

cordova-windows contains code for windows universal apps ( windows 8.1 and
wp8.1 )
It also contains legacy support for windows8.0

To target wp8.1 you :
> cordova platform add windows

# deploy app to Windows Phone 8.1 emulator
> cordova run windows -- --phone

# deploy app to connected device
> cordova run windows --device -- --phone

  Windows 8.1 is better and offers better support. It's a free upgrade

[Discuss] Deprecate platform Windows 8.0

2015-03-19 Thread Jesse
The time is long past, and we should clean this out of our codebase soon.
Windows 8.1 is better and offers better support. It's a free upgrade to
anyone who has Windows 8.0, it will install on any device that supports
8.0, and it has been out for almost 18 months.

Any objections?
