Documentation Changes for Version 1.3.1

1. Config.xml is a file that PhoneGap uses for its settings: icon, program name, version, features used, etc. Until now, you had to create this file yourself. Now, it is generated automatically using the information already in your project. To customize it for your own needs, edit configxml in Project Properties. Full documentation on config.xml is here.

2. The phonegap property has been removed from Project Properties. It conflicted with PhoneGap Build and was rarely used. To accomplish the same thing, add <script src="phonegap.js"></script> to the extraheaders property.

3. Range

   
   The Range option in the TextBox control allows you to have an input slider. (iOS 5).
