+title: "Cordova 6.0.0 Released!"
+categories: news
+tags: release tools
+---
+New versions of cordova tools are now live!
+
+* [cordova-lib@6.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
+* [cordova@6.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
+* [plugman@1.1.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
+* [cordova-js@4.1.3](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-js)
+
+Release Highlights include:
+* Updated default platform versions to `cordova-android@5`, `cordova-ios@4` and `cordova-windows@4.3`.
+ - `cordova-android@5` supports **Android marshmallow**
+ - `cordova-ios@4` adds **iOS9** and `wkwebview` support
+ - `cordova-windows@4` updated the platform to use the new `PlatformAPI`
+* Added a new template feature to `create` command. E.g. `cordova create --template cordova-app-hello-world`. This can pull templates from **npm** and **git urls**.
+* Removed support for our old **Cordova Plugins Registry**. Now plugins can only be installed via **npm**, **gitURL** or local path.
+* Added default plugin pinning to `cordova`. This means that `cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera` will fetch the pinned version of the plugin instead of the always grabbing the `latest`. Users can still install any version of a plugin via `cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera@VERSION`.
+* Added deprecation notices for **amazon-fireos** and **wp8**. We are aiming to remove support for these platforms in 6 months. Target **Android** and **Windows** instead.
+
+To update your tools:
+
+ * If you have `cordova` installed:
+
+ npm install -g cordova@latest
+
+ * If you have `plugman` installed:
+
+ npm install -g plugman@latest
+
