We are happy to announce that `Cordova Windows 4.4.1` has been released!

In this release we have fixed a number of issues, related to application resuming, splash screen functionality and others.
Also we have added an ability to specify location of `msbuild` executable to build project.

The next Cordova CLI version will automatically start using this version of **Cordova-Windows** when creating new projects.

To upgrade:

    npm install -g cordova
    cd my_project
    cordova platform update windows@4.4.1

To add it explicitly:

    cordova platform add windows@4.4.1
