+
+Android KitKat brings a [massive update](https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/webview/overview)
+to the system WebView. This is terrific news for Cordova developers, as
+[initial](http://www.mobilexweb.com/blog/android-4-4-kitkat-browser-chrome-webview)
+[reviews](http://thenextweb.com/google/2013/11/02/kitkats-webview-powered-chromium-enabling-android-app-developers-use-new-html5-css-features/)
+give it a big thumbs up.
+
+However, the update introduced [a bug in Cordova applications](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5393)
+that were built with Cordova versions prior to `3.1.0`, or `2.9.1`
+which can cause native bridge callbacks to not be received until another one is made
+(e.g. by switching in & out of the app). We strongly encourage all apps to
+[update their Cordova version](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.1.0/guide_platforms_android_upgrading.md.html),
+or to directly apply the fix to
+[cordova-android](https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-android.git;a=commit;h=166b35bc6c5977cf547f4093690d554b57cb855a) and
+[cordova-js](https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-js.git;a=commit;h=1be2876635d2a788270238c4b1cfad200c488e32).
