Cordova-sqlite-storage: master branch vs edge question

[maoamid]

cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage pull the edge branch, ~v2.x.x, as default while the master is v1.5.2 when I write this comment.
What are the difference between them? 9 day ago I saw the master branch code was merged into edge one (logical I supposed it should be testing code merged in master when proved stable ).
Thank you for your work, appreciate.

From #580: edge branch has changes needed to support VS 2017. I plan to make this the default pretty soon.

To answer a couple questions by @mirko77:

From https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-storage/issues/632#issuecomment-288734133:

@brodybits this does not affect Android (4.4+) and iOS (8+), right? I have a build with 2.0.2 from 1.4.5 which I will have to revoke if it is going to break

This should absolutely not affect functionality on the Android or iOS platforms.

From #654:

When installing the latest version I get:
cordova-sqlite-storage 2.0.2 "Cordova sqlite storage plugin"

Reading through Changes.MD, I do not see anything past 1.5.3

Am I missing something?

That is correct. As discussed in #580 this is specified by the engines entry in package.json and was done to support both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 RC.

Are there any breaking changes I need to take care of?

Not for Android or iOS.

I have seen other issues about this. I have an existing app on Android (4.4+) and iOS (8+), am I good to go?

Yes.

according to #615, differences are only on the Windows platform?

Yes.

Now that Visual Studio 2017 is released I will drop the engines rule and just support Visual Studio 2017. Visual Studio 2015 will be supported by the Cordova-sqlite-legacy-build-support version.

Thanks @brodybits for your help. Good stuff as always!

Support for Visual Studio 2017 is now part of the default storage-master branch. VS 2015 is now supported in litehelpers / Cordova-sqlite-legacy-build-support, dropped from this project.
