+
+We are happy to announce that `[email protected]` has been released. This is one of the libraries used behind-the-scenes by nearly all of the Cordova tooling and provides utilities for dealing with things like `config.xml` parsing.
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+The most notable changes in this major release were:
+
+- Removal of `superspawn`, which also dropped the npm dependencies `q` and `cross-spawn`.
+- Update to the `<resource-file>` directive to allow directories and their contents to be copied.
+- Update to the `<config-file>` and `<edit-config>` directives to support finding unprefixed `Info.plist` files.
+- Increase in the Node.js engine requirement to `>=20.9.0`.
