-<li><strong>Windows 10 / UWP</strong> builds are now default, meaning <code>cordova build windows</code> will now build a Windows 10 UWP app by default. Windows (Phone) 8.1 is still supported, of course, just use <code>cordova build windows -- --appx=8.1-win</code>, <code>cordova build windows -- --appx=8.1-phone</code> or an equivalent configuration option.</li>
-<li>You can now build apps with a current installation of <strong>Visual Studio 2017</strong> (<code>15.5.x</code> at the time of writing) without any additional configuration or hacks (like the environment variable <code>VSINSTALLDIR</code> that was required for 5.0.0).
