> From 1.4 to 1.5, the namespace was changed from PhoneGap to Cordova which was breaking all of the existing plugins. I eventually provided a shim class but it was too late to stop the pain. Then in Javascript only Cordova was changed to cordova, breaking the iOS plugins yet again. I noticed in cordova (1.6.0) JS:
> if (!window.PhoneGap) {
>     window.PhoneGap = cordova;
> }
> This should have been done for Cordova like:
> if (!Cordova) {
>  Cordova = cordova;
> }
> Yes we should be deprecating the old namespaces for removal in another major release. Any API changes made before a major release should be made with a workaround, to be deprecated, and tested with some plugins before shipping.
