Today we are doing a plugins and tooling release in preparation for Cordova 3.2.0. Most notable changes include:

• Cordova CLI & Plugman have been refactored to use promises instead of callbacks
• CB-5125 Replace shell.exec with child process spawn
• CB-2234 Added cordova info command
• CB-5128 Repo & Issue tags have been added to all of our core plugins plugin.xml file. This will allow us to display issue tracker and repo information on our registry.
• CB-5184 Fix uninstall logic being too aggressive (plugman)
• Overhauled dependency uninstallation in regards to plugins (plugman)
• FirefoxOS support for device-motion, device-orientation and dialogs plugins.

The plugins have been updated on our registry at plugins.cordova.io.

E.g. To update your version of the Cordova-CLI to 3.1.0-0.2.0:

npm install -g cordova

E.g. To update your vibration plugin:

cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.vibration
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.vibration

E.g. To upgrade a 3.0 project (replace android with the platform you want to update):

npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform update android
