I'm kind of "software is politics - screw the man" that way. ;-) And I'm not really interested in working on cordova core but I'll write plugins all day as long as it is easy to do and the apis stay stable and browser limitations are in my way. On May 1, 2014, at 10:20 AM, Michal Mocny wrote:

I think they are fair, or at least were. I have an app running on 1.2. Its staying there. Why? Because 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, etcall came with some fatal problem relative to 1.2. Some plugin or other was broken. None of those versions offered new capabilities - but often came with
