1.2.0 (2016-01-07)

You can find full list of changes below. But in short, this update brings two main things.

First of all, plugin now supports Cordova iOS platform v4, and can still be used on v3. This is achieved by the hook, that is executed when you build your project. It reads platforms/package.json and depending on the ios version - set's native macro in the plugin sources, which will switch the used API.

Second one is aimed to make updates more stable and more bulletproof, plus fix files caching on iOS. This was achieved by changing the way on how project files are stored on the external storage. From now on each release has it's own www folder. You can read about this in more details in the How web project files are stored and updated section of the readme.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed issue #47. Changed the way the files are stored on the external storage. As a result, webview cache is now flushed automatically.
• Fixed issue #64. Plugin now supports Cordova iOS platform v4, and also backwards compatible.
• Fixed issue #70. Empty <chcp /> tag in plugin.xml could sometimes lead to the build failures. Thanks to @alexbuijs for the pull request.
• Fixed issue #72. On Android auto-download preference from the config.xml is not ignored any more.
• Fixed issue #73. chcp.configure callback is now gets called.
• Fixed issue #77. On iOS chcp.configure now works the same way, as on Android: it accepts an object as an options, not a string.
• Fixed potential rushing conditions on update download/installations. Right now there can be only one running update task.

Enhancements:

• Changed the way on how web files are stored on the external storage. That made updates more stable, plus fixes the caching issue.
• Merged pull request #67. If code version of the application has changed (incresed or decreased) - it is considered as updated and www folder is reinstalled on the external storage. Thanks to @hassellof.
• Merged pull request #71. Removed empty <chcp /> tag from the plugin.xml config. Thanks to @alexbuijs.
• Added chcp.error object in JS module of the plugin, so you could use it to match the errors by names instead of codes.

Docs:

• Updated Ionic quick start guide section.
• Updated How web project files are stored and updated section.
• Updated Change plugin preferences on runtime section.
• Updated Error codes section.

Enhancements:

Bug fixes:

Since local development mode was moved to the separate plugin - that should fix the issue #26 with the Swift on iOS, when it lead for the app to be rejected by the Apple.
