We are happy to announce that cordova-common@6.0.0 has been released. This is one of the libraries used behind-the-scenes by nearly all of the Cordova tooling and provides utilities for dealing with things like config.xml parsing.

The most notable changes in this major release were:

  • Removal of superspawn, which also dropped the npm dependencies q and cross-spawn.
  • Update to the <resource-file> directive to allow directories and their contents to be copied.
  • Update to the <config-file> and <edit-config> directives to support finding unprefixed Info.plist files.
