불편한 일상

The PhoneGap Community has done it again. We are happy to announce the release of PhoneGap 1.3! In this release, we’ve made great progress with BlackBerry and Windows Phone.

For BlackBerry, we’ve added OSX support so now you can develop for BlackBerry on a Mac!

For Windows Phone, users can now sink their teeth into the full PhoneGap API, Windows Phone Getting Started Guide, more documentation updates and tons of plugins.

PhoneGap 1.3.0 is also available on the PhoneGap Build web service – by default, all new apps will be built with 1.3.0. Any existing apps will remain on 1.1.0, and users can choose between 1.1.0, 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 for building apps for five different platforms.

Check out the release notes below to see all of the enhancements and fixes. Alternatively, you can view the commits on http://github.com/callback.
