 - As described in [this posting](http://brodyspark.blogspot.com/2012/12/cordovaphonegap-sqlite-plugins-offer.html):
   - Keeps sqlite database in known, platform specific user data location on all supported platforms (Android/iOS/macOS/Windows), which can be reconfigured on iOS/macOS. Whether or not the database on the iOS platform is synchronized to iCloud depends on the selected database location.
   - No arbitrary size limit. SQLite limits described at: <http://www.sqlite.org/limits.html>
-- ~~Also tested for multi-page applications with window location changes~~ _(workaround solution for BUG 666 is incorrect in this version branch)_
+- Also validated for multi-page applications by internal test selfTest function.
 - This project is self-contained: no dependencies on other plugins such as cordova-plugin-file
 - Windows 10 UWP platform version available in TBD uses the performant C++ [doo / SQLite3-WinRT](https://github.com/doo/SQLite3-WinRT) component.
