We just released an update to cordova-browser and cordova-serve

• cordova-browser@5.0.0
• cordova-serve@2.0.0

Release Highlights:

• cordova-browser: Added manifest.json to browser projects. This enables basic Progressive Web App support
• cordova-browser: Implemented PlatformApi.
• cordova-serve: Removed Q dependency in favor of native javascript promises.
• cordova-serve: Changed default behavior of which browser is launched during serve. Now the serve command will use the system default browser instead of opening a new instance of chrome. You can still pass in a specific target

To upgrade:

cd my_project
cordova platform update browser@5.0.0

To add it explicitly:

cordova platform add browser@5.0.0
