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
