+## What's new in Android
+
+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
+
+
+#### Curated Changes from the Git Commit Logs, check release notes for a more complete list ####
+* [CB-11083](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11083) Fix to deal with custom frameworks with their own Gradle configuration
+* [CB-8722](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8722) - Move icons from drawable to mipmap
+* [CB-11964](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11964) Call clean after plugin install and mock it in tests
+* [CB-11935](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11935) Does a best-effort attempt to pause any processing that can be paused safely, such as animations and geolocation.
+* [CB-11640](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11640) Changing requirements check to ask for Java 8
+* [CB-11907](https://issues.apahce.org/jira/browse/CB-11907): Bumping Gradle to work with Android Studio 2.2 and the Android Gradle Plugin
+* [CB-11078](https://issues.apahce.org/jira/browse/CB-11907):mpty string for BackgroundColor preference crashes application This closes #316

Also, maybe we want to do a pass over these to format them consistently (colon after the ticket number)?
