+---
+
+We are happy to announce that we have just released `Cordova iOS 6.1.0`! This
is Cordova's official platform for building iOS mobile applications.
+
+* [cordova-ios@6.1.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-ios)
+
+**To upgrade:**
+
+```bash
+cordova platform remove ios
+cordova platform add ios@6.1.0
+```
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+This release contains primarily fixes for issues with the 6.0.0 release.
+
+* **Resolve CocoaPods publishing issues** *(since 6.0.0)*
+
+ The Cordova iOS 6.0.0 release was unable to be published to CocoaPods due
to issues with the Pod spec. These have been addressed and Cordova iOS 6.1.0 is
available.
+
+
+* **Fix landscape orientation defaults** *(since 6.0.0)*
+
+ A change made in Cordova iOS 6.0.0 had the side effect of disabling
landscape orientation for any apps that didn't specify an `Orientation`
preference in `config.xml`. We've reverted that change and new apps will match
Xcode defaults (allowing both portrait and landscape orientations).
+
+ To ensure your app properly supports the orientations you want, we
encourage setting [the `Orientation` preference][prefs].
+
+
+* **Fix invisible SplashScreen bugs** *(since 6.0.0)*
+
+ A bug in Cordova iOS 6.0.0 would cause the splashscreen to be invisible
unless a `BackgroundColor` preference was set in `config.xml`. This was not the
intended behaviour, and caused a lot of confusion about not being able to
interact with the webview behind the splashscreen.
+
+ In Cordova iOS 6.1.0, we've fixed the splashscreen so that it will always
have a background colour (defaulting to the system background colour) and so
that the launch storyboard image should remain visible.
+
+ To customize the background colour of your app and its splashscreen, use
[the `BackgroundColor` preference][prefs] in `config.xml`.
+
+
+* **Add support for dark mode splashscreens** *(New Feature)*
+
+ It is now possible to use optionally different splashscreen images when
your app is running in dark mode. You can configure these images in
`config.xml` with the `~dark` suffix (and `~light` is also supported).
+
+ ```xml
+ <!-- Default image to be used for all modes -->
+ <splash src="res/screen/ios/Default@2x~universal~anyany.png" />
+
+ <!-- Image to use specifically for dark mode devices -->
+ <splash src="res/screen/ios/Default@2x~universal~anyany~dark.png" />
+
+ <!-- Image to use specifically for light mode devices -->
+ <splash src="res/screen/ios/Default@2x~universal~anyany~light.png" />
+ ```
+
+
+* **Add preference for iPad desktop layout behaviour** *(New Feature)*
+
+ iPadOS 13 defaults to using a desktop layout in webviews rather than a
mobile layout. You can now control this behaviour in your apps with [the
`PreferredContentMode` preference][prefs] in `config.xml`. Valid options are
`mobile` and `desktop`.
+
+
+* **Add preference for webview window handling** *(New Feature)*
+
+ Historically, Cordova iOS has not supported the creation of new webview
windows with APIs like `window.open` or links with `target="_blank"`. The
default behaviour was inconsistent, with some links opening externally in
Safari and some links being unclickable. There is now [an `AllowNewWindows`
preference][prefs] in `config.xml` to control the behaviour of new windows
within the application.
+
+ * When **false** (the default behaviour), links that would open a new
window are instead opened in the same webview as if they had not requested a
new window.
+
+ * When **true**, links that would open a new window will create a new
webview overtop of the app. This new webview provides no controls, so you must
include a way to dismiss it with `window.close()`.
+
+ Links that are outside the list of
[`allow-navigation`](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/config_ref/index.html#allow-navigation)
URLs will continue to open in Safari.
+
+Please report any issues you find at
[issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!
