+
+We are happy to announce that we have just released `Cordova Android 8.0.0`! This is one of Cordova's supported platforms for building Android mobile applications.
+
+* [cordova-android@8.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-android)
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+**To upgrade:**
+
+```
+cordova platform remove android
+cordova platform add android@8.0.0
+```
+
+In addition to the various improvements and bug fixes, this release also comes packed with some major features.
+
+Some of the key features are:
+
+* Bump Gradle to 4.10.3
+ * Support Android SDK 28
+ * Support Android Studio 3.3.0
+* Added Adaptive Icon Support
+
+Additional, as NodeJS 4.x support has been dropped by the NodeJS team on April 30th, 2018, we have raised the minimum required NodeJS version for this release to 6.x.
+
+Please report any issues you find at [issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!
