+
+We just released an update to our tools!
+
+* [cordova@8.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
+* [cordova-lib@8.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
+* [cordova-plugman@2.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
+* [cordova-fetch@1.3.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-fetch)
+* [cordova-common@2.2.1](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-common)
+* [cordova-create@1.1.2](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-create)
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+* [CB-13056](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13056): removed support for **WebOS**, **BlackBerry10**, and **Ubuntu**
+* [CB-13057](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13057): removed `cordova save` command. This command isn't needed as cordova auto saves dependencies.
+* [CB-13055](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13055): removed `--nofetch` flag. Now all of our dependency fetching happens via `cordova-fetch`. This allowed us to drop the `npm@2` dependency we were shipping with cordova. Instead, we now just use your system `npm` to do all of our fetching. 
+
+To update your cordova CLI:
+
+    npm install -g cordova@latest
+
+Please report any issues you find at [issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!
