This release adds significant functionality, and also introduces a number
of breaking changes.  Some of the changes to the code base will be of
particular interest to third party webview plugin developers.

#### Major Changes ####
* Primary bridge is the EVAL_BRIDGE, which tells the WebView to execute JS directly.  This is more stable than the ONLINE_EVENT bridge
* Full Support for Android Nougat (API 24)
* Ice Cream Sandwich Support has been deprecated.  Minimum Supported Android Version is Jellybean (API 16/ Android 4.1)
