• CB-12950 lots of tweaks for end-to-end test runs, especially on CI: - rename npm tasks to reflect what they do (npm run unit-tests, npm run e2e-tests). main npm test runs linter, unit tests and e2e tests now. - locked jasmine down to ~2.6.0. - consolidate gitignores. - updated travis to run npm test. add Android sdk installation to appveyor ci run.align Android dpendencies across travis and appveyor. have appveyor install gradle. force gradle to version 3.4.1 in appveyor, as that seems to be the only version choco has. explicitly invoke sdkmanager to move license accepting process along.

6.2.3 (May 2, 2017)

• CB-12640 better handling of unrecognized Android SDK commands on Windows.

Explicitly set the CWD of the spawned emulator process to workaround a recent google android sdk bug. Rename android_sdk_version.js to android_sdk.js, to better reflect its contents. Have create.js copy over the android_sdk_version batch file.
• CB-12524 Fix for missing gradle template error. This now fetches the template from inside of the Android Studio directory, and falls back to a locally installed Gradle instance

6.0.0 (Oct 20, 2016)

This release adds significant functionality, and also introduces a number of breaking changes. Some of the changes to the code base will be of particular interest to third party webview plugin developers.

Major Changes

• Primary bridge is the EVAL_BRIDGE, which tells the WebView to execute JS directly. This is more stable than the ONLINE_EVENT bridge

Changes For Third-Party WebView Developers:

• executeJavascript method added and is an abstract method that must be implemented
