Open webOS Adopts Apache Cordova for Hardware Access

[wraggster]

In their December newsletter, Open webOS announced that they've ditched the webOS-specific hardware interface that was part of Enyo 1.x for the Cordova (http://cordova.apache.org/) project (formerly PhoneGap). Combined with the portableEnyo 2.0 (http://enyojs.com/) framework, applications written for webOS are now portable to other platforms (http://blog.openwebosproject.org/post/39278618299/javascript-apps-for-open-webos-with-enyo-and-cordova) (and the other way around). There were also a number of other under-the-hood improvements (http://blog.openwebosproject.org/post/39317199471/december-edition):"This month we completed and delivered the pluggable keyboard project, WebAppMgr separation and upgrading to Qt 4.8.3. Work continues as planned on upgrading Qt5/webkit2 (more details next month). Also, the complete rewrite of mediaServer has been completed and is now undergoing internal QA testing, look for this to hit the repos in the coming weeks."
