+
+We are happy to announce that we have just released `Cordova Electron 3.1.0`! This is one of Cordova's supported platforms for building Electron applications.
+
+* [cordova-electron@3.1.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-electron)
+
+**To upgrade:**
+
+```bash
+cordova platform remove electron
+cordova platform add electron@3.1.0
+```
+
+**To install:**
+
+```bash
+cordova platform add electron@3.1.0
+```
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+Some of the notable changes & new features in this release are:
+
+**Electron Update:**
+
+The **Electron** core dependencies have been updated to `14.2.9`.
+
+**Defining & Pinning Electron Version**
+
+The ability to define and pin specific Electron versions has been added. This feature leveraged the usage of npm's `overrides` property, which was introduced in npm 8.
+
+Example:
+
+In the Cordova app's `package.json` file, add the following:
+
+```json
+"overrides": {
+ "cordova-electron": {
+ "electron": "14.2.9",
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If you already have the platform added to the project, you will need to remove the platform or delete the `platforms` directory before running `cordova prepare electron` to recheckout the pinned version. If you also have in your project director the `package-lock.json` file, this will also need to be removed.
+
+For a quick start guide and in-depth configuration setup, please check out our [Cordova Electron Documentation](https://github.com/apache/cordova-electron/blob/rel/2.0.0/DOCUMENTATION.md)!

+
+We are happy to announce that we have just released an update for `cordova-plugin-media` & `cordova-plugin-media-capture`!
+
+* [cordova-plugin-media@6.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-media)
+* [cordova-plugin-media-capture@4.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-media-capture)
+
+**To upgrade:**
+
+```bash
+cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-media
+cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-media@6.0.0
+
+cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-media-capture
+cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-media-capture@4.0.0
+```
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+### `cordova-plugin-media`
+
+For Android, the `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` and `READ_PHONE_STATE` permissions have a protection level of dangerous. Because of this, we removed the declaration of these permissions.
+
+The `cordova-plugin-file` dependency was updated to use version `^7.0.0`.
+
+The `setRate` functionality, which was previously only supported on the iOS platform, is now supported on the Android platform. There was also a fix around this functionality for iOS.
+
+### `cordova-plugin-media-capture`
+
+For Android, the `RECORD_VIDEO` permission definition was removed as it was never used and appears to never exist.
+
+The `cordova-plugin-file` dependency was updated to use version `^7.0.0`.
+
+Permission checks, for Android, has been unified to fix inconsistencies between the different capture methods.
+
