The most noticeable changes in this release are to the File plugin. It has been revamped to use a new URL scheme cdvfile://localhost/<filesystemType>/<path to file>. These URLs are generated by all file operations, and are passed over the bridge to native code. (This is in contrast to the previous version, which passed around absolute paths on the device filesystem).

- -

Most of these changes are to bring us more in line with the HTML Filesystem standard, although they will also allow us to extend the filesystem abstraction to cover new kinds of storage, both internal and external to devices.
