j3k0 opened a new issue #295:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/295


   About apache/cordova-android#580, I have a higher level concern about handling deprecation as a plugin author.
   
   It's ok to allow breaking changes in Cordova for the sake of progress, but the following small change in `plugin.xml` structure would give plugin authors flexibility to support multiple cordova versions.
   
   Has it been ever considered to allow multiple `<platform>` tags with version filters?
   
   Short demo of what I mean in a plugin description file:
   
   ```xml
   <plugin ...>
     <platform type="android" version="<8.0.0">
       ...
       <source-file src="src/android/ILib.aidl" target-dir="src/com/android/vending/billing" />
       ...
     </platform>
     <platform type="android" version=">=8.0.0">
       ...
       <lib-file src="src/android/ILib.aidl" />
       ...
     </platform>
     <platform type="android" version="*">
       ... common stuff ...
     </platform>
   </plugin>
   ```
   
   It's probably not specific to `cordova-android` though, where should such an idea be discussed?
