We are happy to announce that Cordova Windows 4.4.1 has been released!

In this release we have fixed a number of issues, related to application resuming, splash screen functionality and others. Also we have added an ability to specify location of msbuild executable to build project.

The next Cordova CLI version will automatically start using this version of Cordova-Windows when creating new projects.

To upgrade:

npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform update windows@4.4.1

To add it explicitly:

cordova platform add windows@4.4.1
