We are happy to announce that we have just released `Cordova Windows 7.0.0`!  This is one of Cordova's supported platforms for building Windows applications.

* [cordova-windows@7.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-windows)

## Release Highlights

**To upgrade:**

```
cordova platform remove windows
cordova platform add windows@7.0.0
```

As NodeJS 4.x support has been dropped by the NodeJS team on April 30th, 2018, we have raised the minimum required NodeJS version for this release to 6.x.

Please report any issues you find at [issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!
