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@5.1` supports **Android marshmallow** 
    - `cordova-ios@4.0` adds **iOS9** and `WKWebView` support
    - `cordova-windows@4.3` updated the platform to use the new Platform API.
* Added a new template feature to `create` command. E.g. `cordova create --template cordova-app-hello-world`. This can fetch templates via **npm**, **git URL** or local paths.
* Removed support for our old **Cordova Plugins Registry**. Now plugins can only be installed via **npm**, **git URL** or local paths.
* 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
