Cobalt v0.5.0
The previous release was in August 2015. It is quite long...
Since, we focused on a new big feature, the native bars, but also fixed some issues and cleaned code.
Native bars
Now, you can add native top and bottom bars for your application without writing any native code.
You can set bars configuration either from the cobalt.conf file or straight from the JavaScript.
A lot of options are available to customize your bars (color, title, visibility, etc.) and your actions (color, title, icon, position, visibility, badge, etc.). You can even use font icons!
Check out the documentation for more details about this feature.
