iOS changes in 2.2.0
I'm preparing a blog post. Here is the outline of what I have so far:
1. CordovaLib multiple architecture support (across all versions of iOS)
2. Added Capture API microphone image for iPhone 5 dimensions and
orientation fix
3. Adde dFileTransfer API progress events, abort function
4. Cordova.plist - added two new iOS 6 properties
(SuppressesIncrementalRendering, KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction)
5. Added Globalization Core Plugin
6. Fixed iOS 6 orientation issues
7. Added iOS 6 LocalStorage changes (backup flag)
8. bin/create changes for shared and CordovaLib copying
9. uncrustify hook for committers
10. onReset() override for plugins

Nevermind, I guess the phonegap docs page will be updated _after_ the
release of 2.2?

This is awesome indeed.
One note, the page you line to for plist settings
(http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_project-settings_ios_index.md.html#Project%20Settings%20for%20iOS)
still lists BackupWebStorage as being Boolean. While Boolean is still
supported, that phonegap docs page should be updated to say "string",
defaults to "cloud", valid options "none", "local", "cloud".

Re: iOS changes in 2.2.0
Posted by Simon MacDonald <si...@gmail.com>.
Here is the post. Am I missing anything Android devs? Yes, I stole the
first 3 directly from Shaz.
1. FileTransfer API changes
Added support for the onprogress event to get progress events for a
FileTransfer operation
Added the abort function to cancel a FileTransfer operation
See the API doc.
2. Graduated the Globalization plugin to core
This plugin was previously in the phonegap-plugins repo (BB WebWorks
5, iOS, Android). The globalization object obtains information and
performs operations specific to the user’s locale and timezone.
See the API doc.
3. Splashscreen API
The Splashscreen API is now formally documented for iOS and Android.
4. Android JavaScript to Java bridge improvements
The callback server is gone.
Uses events to specify when a result it ready.
Defaults to polling if all else fails.
Up to 25 times faster.
5. Partial support for video tag
We've been able to shim in support for the video tag. See my earlier
blog post for more details.
6. Hardware acceleration is enabled by default
When you run bin/create to make a new PhoneGap Android project then
android:hardwareAccelerated is set to true by default on the main
activity.
See Android docs for an explanation of hardware acceleration.
7. useBrowserHistory now defaults to true
We've deprecated the current way that history is handled in Android
apps in favour of the default way it is handled in the web view. To go
back a page you should be using history.back(). If you need to enable
the old way to handle history you can set useBrowserHistory to false
in config.xml.
8. Introduce CordovaPlugin class
CordovaPlugin will be replacing the Plugin class for extending
PhoneGap functionality. It adds a new execute method public boolean
execute(String action, String rawArgs, CallbackContext
callbackContext) to enable developers passing large amounts of data to
the native side provide their own JSON parser.
9. Various bug fixes
Back and Menu button events now fire if the cursor is inside a text view.
Fixed a path where the whitelist was not being checked in DroidGap.
FileTransfer.download now supports the trustAllHosts option to allow
downloading from servers with self signed certificates.
Removed trailing space from contact.name.formatted.
Properly set contact's IM type.
navigator.language is now set properly when the language is switched
in Android settings.

This is awesome Shaz - thanks for writing this up every release.
It would be even awesomer if one of the Android devs could do the same
thing - I know Simon does similar things with individual features, but it
would be great to have this kind of roundup for Android.

Sounds great Shaz! Might also be worth mentioning the bridge improvements:
-No longer broken for non file:// pages
-No longer shows failed requests in the remote web inspector
-15% speed improvement in benchmarks
