 ## Status
 
-- A recent version of the Cordova CLI (such as `6.5.0`) is recommended. Cordova versions older than `6.0.0` are missing the `cordova-ios@4.0.0` security fixes. In addition it is *required* to use `cordova prepare` in case of cordova-ios older than `4.3.0` (Cordova CLI `6.4.0`).
+- A recent version of the Cordova CLI (such as `6.5.0` / `7.1.0` / `8.0.0`) is recommended. Cordova versions older than `6.0.0` are missing the `cordova-ios@4.0.0` security fixes. In addition it may be necessary to use `cordova prepare` in case of cordova-ios older than `4.3.0` (Cordova CLI `6.4.0`).
 - The iOS database location is now mandatory, as documented below.
 - Android platform version in this version branch is now using the built-in Android SQLite database classes. Integration with the lightweight [Android-sqlite-connector](https://github.com/liteglue/Android-sqlite-connector) is available in the default [litehelpers / Cordova-sqlite-storage](https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-storage) version branch as well as other versions such as [litehelpers / cordova-sqlite-ext](https://github.com/litehelpers/cordova-sqlite-ext) and [litehelpers / Cordova-sqlite-legacy](https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-legacy).
 - iOS/macOS platform version in this version branch uses builtin `libsqlite3.dylib` framework library. Other versions such as the default [litehelpers / Cordova-sqlite-storage](https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-storage) version branch, [litehelpers / cordova-sqlite-ext](https://github.com/litehelpers/cordova-sqlite-ext), and [litehelpers / Cordova-sqlite-legacy](https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-legacy) include a build of a recent sqlite3 amalgamation.
