The actual link is https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/pull/629 (it's a different repo) And the reason that relates is because this PR will cause `content://` urls to be returned instead of `file://` urls which Cordova had support for, but it was something infrequently used and it hasn't actually worked properly in quite some time. https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/pull/629 makes the content uris consumable by the file plugin allowing you to use `toURL()` to get a DOM-usable url or any other file APIs to read and/or copy the file content. We are going to have to add some documentation I think, there are significant differences and applications will have to adapt their usage. For example access to the `content://` is temporary and will expire once the app's activity has been closed. Therefore those urls cannot be saved. If you need permanent access then a copy will need to be made. A hypothetical scenario would be letting the user choose a profile pic, you'll want to be able to access that content again in the future, so the image should be copied to the app's internal data storage. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
