+New versions of `plugman`, `cordova` and `cordova-lib` are now live!
+
+* [plugman@0.22.4](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
+* [cordova@3.5.0-0.2.6](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
+* [cordova-lib@0.21.6](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
+
+To update your tools:
+
+    npm install -g cordova
+    npm install -g plugman
+
+Most notable changes are:
+
+* Support for splash screens
+* Drop **wp7** as platform
+* An experimental feature that allows to persist the currently added plugins to config.xml. Try it out as:
+  - `cordova save plugins --experimental`
+  - and later when you check out the project without a plugins folder:
+  - `cordova restore plugins --experimental`
+  - Read [Gorkem Ercan's post](http://www.gorkem-ercan.com/2014/06/sharing-cordova-projects-becomes-easier.html) for details.
+* We are experimenting with using `browserify` to package our `cordova.js` build artifact. This is an internal change to our tooling, and is currently still off-by-default.  We would appreciate feedback since we hope to switch to on-by-default in a future release.  Try it using plugman as:
+ - `plugman (un)install --browserify --project [PROJECT] --plugin [PLUGIN] --platform [ios|android]`
+
+
