CB-12423 make explicit JDK 1.8 or greater is needed in the README, we require 1.8 for compilation, but do not have 1.8 Java features yet
CB-13006 removed create and update end-to-end tests, and instead added more unit test coverage. tweaked code coverage invocation so that we get coverage details on the create.js module. slight changes to the create.js module so that it is slightly easier to test.
CB-12950 lots of tweaks for end-to-end test runs, especially on CI: - rename npm tasks to reflect what they do (npm run unit-tests, npm run e2e-tests). main npm test runs linter, unit tests and e2e tests now. - locked jasmine down to ~2.6.0. - consolidate gitignores. - updated travis to run npm test. add Android sdk installation to appveyor ci run.align Android dpendencies across travis and appveyor. have appveyor install gradle. force gradle to version 3.4.1 in appveyor, as that seems to be the only version choco has. explicitly invoke sdkmanager to move license accepting process along.

CB-12640 better handling of unrecognized Android SDK commands on Windows.

Have create.js copy over the android_sdk_version batch file.
CB-12524 Fix for missing gradle template error. This now fetches the template from inside of the Android Studio directory, and falls back to a locally installed Gradle instance
CB-12465 Writing new JUnit Test Instrumentation to replace tests and retire problmatic tests

6.0.0 (Oct 20, 2016)

This release adds significant functionality, and also introduces a number of breaking changes. Some of the changes to the code base will be of particular interest to third party webview plugin developers.

Major Changes

Primary bridge is the EVAL_BRIDGE, which tells the WebView to execute JS directly. This is more stable than the ONLINE_EVENT bridge
Full Support for Android Nougat (API 24)
Ice Cream Sandwich Support has been deprecated. Minimum Supported Android Version is Jellybean (API 16/ Android 4.1)
Plugin Installation now CLEANS the build directory, this speeds up gradle build times and allows for CLI develoment to be more predictable

Changes For Third-Party WebView Developers:

executeJavascript method added and is an abstract method that must be implemented
the EVAL_BRIDGE must be added to the WebView

Major Changes

- The system WebView can be replaced in your app, via a plugin
- Core WebView functionality is encapsulated, with extension points exposed via interfaces

- Setting of Content-Security-Policy is now supported by the framework (see details in plugin readme)

- All builds use Gradle by default, instead of Ant
