+New versions of cordova tools are now live!
+
+* [[email protected]](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
+* [[email protected]](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
+* [[email protected]](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
+* [[email protected]](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-js)
+
+Release highlights:
+
+* Fixed issues with using **Node 4 & 5** and **npm 3**.
+* Cordova will now auto convert old-style plugin IDs to new style plugin
IDs when doing a `cordova plugin add`. This only happens if the old-style
plugin ID exists in the
[registry-mapper](https://github.com/stevengill/cordova-registry-mapper), it
will be auto converted to the new ID and fetched from
[npm](https://www.npmjs.com) instead.
+* Cordova `CLI` will now know if a newer version is available and will
prompt users to update.
+* Some core utility methods from `cordova-lib` have been moved into a new
module named
[`cordova-common`](https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/tree/master/cordova-commo://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/tree/master/cordova-common).
`cordova-common` is shared among `cordova-lib` and cordova platforms.
+
+To update your tools:
+
+ * If you have `cordova` installed:
+
+ npm install -g cordova@latest
+
+ * If you have `plugman` installed:
+
+ npm install -g plugman@latest

now used by default.
+These platform versions were released recently, and the tools' defaults
were updated:

You are right of course. I just wanted to highlight that 3.9.2 ios is out.
Tools defaults weren't updated but platform versions were released. No big
deal here.
