To update your tools:
npm update -g cordova
npm update -g plugman
Most notable changes include:
* New command `plugman create` for generating a plugin template (CB-4886)
* No longer necessary to run `cordova prepare` after installing a plugin
(CB-5647)
* `cordova` now shows output of builds and hook scripts

Other changes include:

## cordova
* CB-5299 Speed up prepare by using plugman's new reapply_global_munge()
* CB-6076 Make "Generating config.xml from defaults" a verbose log
* CB-5181 Use spawn helper for all sub-shelling.
* CB-6049, CB-5181 Enable stdio for build sub-commands and hooks
## plugman
* CB-5647 Move <assets> copying from install to prepare
* CB-5804 Include platform tag information when publishing plugins
* CB-6076 Logging tweaks to be less verbose.
* CB-6088 FFOS: Look for config.xml in www_dir and in project_dir
* Win8/WP: Added SDKReference support via 'lib-file' tags
* Win8/WP: Remove ability to add .dll as content - it should be a
framework/reference
* Win8/WP: Added ability to add+remove ref to .winmd files
* CB-6025 iOS: Do not add static libraries (.a) to source files
* CB-5017 Accept proxy config for plugman
* CB-5720 Add resource-file support on Android
* config-changes.js: Major refactor & introduced reapply_global_munge().

Adding ``s and <>s assuming that the things are actually tags in some xml
file.

Right, but could you possibly sort/reorder the bits? Possibly always
putting the CB-s at the end and the platforms at the beginning and then
sorting the list (with non-platform-specific stuff before platform stuff)?

They are based on commit logs. If someone puts in a commit with not JIRA in
the description, then I do my best to at least prefix which platforms it
applies to.

Why are some things labeled w/ a CB- and some w/ Win8/WP? I¹d rather
things have a consistent prefix and a logical sorting.
