We are happy to announce that `Cordova 3.4` has been released!

This release has various bug fixes for all of our supported platforms.

Our friends at [Mozilla](http://www.mozilla.org/) have put together a blog
post about getting started with **Cordova Firefox OS**. Check it out at [
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/02/building-cordova-apps-for-firefox-os/](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/02/building-cordova-apps-for-firefox-os/)
.

To upgrade: (replace `android` with the platform you want to update):

    npm install -g cordova
    cd my_project
    cordova platform update android

For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the [upgrade guides](
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.4.0/guide_platforms_index.md.html).

## What's new in Android

Android:
43 commits from 10 authors. Highlights include:

* Removing `addJavascriptInterface` support from all Android versions lower
than 4.2 due to security vulnerability
* CB-5917 Add a `loadUrlIntoView` overload that doesn't recreate plugins.
* CB-5889 Make update script find project name instead of using "null" for
CordovaLib
* CB-5889 Add a message in the update script about needing to import
CordovaLib when using an IDE.

* CB-5328 - `.gitignore` from cordova-ios excludes
`platforms/cordova/build` file

## What's new in Windows Phone 7 & 8

* CB-6041 `createTemplates` should install theme for *VS-2013* as well
* [CB-5219] `weinre` disconnects when `history.replaceState` is used
