Phonegap new release versi 1.5

Oke, mungkin ini telat. Tapi lebih baik telat dibanding tidak sama sekali 😀 Phonegap atau dikenal juga Callback atau cordova project baru saja merilis versi terbaru. Update ini memiliki banyak bug fixes dibanding versi sebelumnya yaitu 1.4.1. Namun perubahan ini, membuat kebanyakan developer kesulitan, karena ternyata (salah satunya) class DroidGap yang membuat error.

Ternyata, developer untuk menggunakan versi 1.5 ini harus mengedit yang sebelum nya “import com.phonegap.*;” menjadi  “import org.apache.cordova.DroidGap;” . Hmm, banyak developer yang mengeluhkan karena dokumentasinya tidak ter-update. Ya, ini menjadi catatan tersendiri bagi para phonegap developer.

Berikut ini list perubahan di versi 1.5 :
