New updates of `cordova-cli`, `cordova`, `plugman` and `cordova-common` are now live! We have also released the first version of `cordova-fetch`, a module used by `cordova-lib` to fetch plugins and platforms via `npm install`. 

* [cordova-lib@6.2.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
* [cordova@6.2.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
* [plugman@1.3.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
* [cordova-common@1.3.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
* [cordova-fetch@1.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)

Release Highlights:

* [CB-9858](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9858) added `--fetch` option
* [Telemetry](https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/pull/247) Added telemetry to cordova-cli to collect data for data driven development. Goal is use data to help guide the development of cordova. It is auto opt-out. Type `cordova telemetry -h` for more info. 
* [CB-11194](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11194) Improve cordova load time
* Added support for node 6 via [CB-11200](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11200) Bump `node-xcode` dependency and update tests to pass.

The new `cordova-fetch` feature is behind the `--fetch` flag. Use it when adding and removing plugins.

    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device --fetch 

This will fetch the `cordova-plugin-device` plugin and `npm install` it to your application. You should see a new `node_modules` directory. This is the first step towards us eventually supporting a `package.json` in your cordova applications. 

To update your tools:

  * If you have `cordova` installed:

        npm install -g cordova@latest

  * If you have `plugman` installed:

        npm install -g plugman@latest<commit_msg>CB-11260 updated release blog post<commit_after>---
