We've added a new version of the ChildBrowser plugin which is supported by PhoneGap 3.x, for those who aren't happy with the InAppBrowser implementation. So, if you were holding on to PhoneGap 2.9.0 because of this, now you don't have to. And since we'll eventually be deprecating PhoneGap 2.9.0, you should update your apps to 3.3.0 asap!

Tyler:
What you believe is the latest version? If its 5.0.0, it is the latest.
On the plugin's info page, it states that its supported on 3.3.0. Are you explicitly putting a plugin version in your config.xml?If not, try this:

what did you say to try? I am desperately trying to get pdfs to open in "something" that works/recognizes the doc is a pdf, view it, save the pdf if needed, close the reader, and return to the app automatically.
Is this possible? I am trying to use phone gap build to create the same app that works on both iPhone and Galaxy!
I keep looking at the plugins, but can't figure out how to implement the InApp Browser vs Childbrowser from in Dreamweaver. All the GitHub info is beyond my expertise!!! I just want my href's to work!
Thank you!!

the link should be correct...
I think they update not the master branch of the repo on github (not sure, I'm a noob when it comes to git)
so normally if you run the command it woulld be:
phonegap plugin local add {link to github}
just try this:
phonegap plugin local add {link to github}#f4d5ef2ed6f35da0af8a819f30edcd53e6877770
where "#f4d5ef2ed6f35da0af8a819f30edcd53e6877770" at the end specify THAT particular branch (which probably is what they're talking about the most updated one)
Hope this helps.

Any update on this as it doesn't seem to work with PhoneGap Build 3.3.0, only 2.9.0
- quick amendment: good old case sensitive javascript, changed my old code window.plugins.childBrowser to window.plugins.ChildBrowser and all works.
Hope this comes in handy for others...
