We are happy to announce that Cordova Windows 4.4.2 has been released!

This release fixes some issues we've missed in 4.4.1. In particular, we have fixed build issues experienced with the new install experience in Visual Studio “15” previews. For the rest of changes see release notes below.

Cordova CLI 6.3.0 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@4.4.2

To add it explicitly:

cordova platform add windows@4.4.2
