### Mobile
* The included Cordova tools have been updated to the latest version 5.2.0.
This includes Cordova Android 4.1 and Cordova iOS 3.9. These updates may
require you to make changes to your app. For details, see the [Cordova release
notes] (https://cordova.apache.org/#news) for for the different versions.
* Thanks to Cordova Android's support for pluggable web views, it is now
possible to install the [Crosswalk plugin]
(https://crosswalk-project.org/documentation/cordova/cordova_4.html), which
offers a hugely improved web view on older Android versions.
You can add the plugin to your app with `meteor add crosswalk`.
* The bundled Android tools have been removed and a system-wide install of the
Android SDK is now required. This should make it easier to keep the
development toolchain up to date and helps avoid some difficult to diagnose
failures. If you don't have your own Android tools installed already, you can
find more information about installing the Android SDK for [Mac] (https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Mobile-Dev-Install:-Android-on-Mac)
or [Linux]
(https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Mobile-Dev-Install:-Android-on-Linux).
* As part of moving to npm, many Cordova plugins have been renamed. Meteor
should perform conversions automatically, but you may want to be aware of this
to avoid surprises. See [here]
(https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/04/21/plugins-release-and-move-to-npm.html)
for more information.
* Installing plugins from the local filesystem is now supported using `file://`
URLs, which should make developing your own plugins more convenient. It is
also needed as a temporary workaround for using the Facebook plugin.
Relative references are interpreted relative to the Meteor project directory.
(As an example,
`meteor add cordova:phonegap-facebook-plugin@file://../phonegap-facebook-plugin`
would attempt to install the plugin from the same directory you Meteor project
directory is located in.)
* Meteor no longer supports installing Cordova plugins from tarball URLs, but
does support Git URLs with a SHA reference (like
`https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#c452f1a67f41cb1165c92555f0e721fbb07329cc`).
Existing GitHub tarball URLs are converted automatically.
* Allow specifying a `buildNumber` in `App.info`, which is used to set the
`android-versionCode` and `ios-CFBundleVersion` in the `config.xml` of the
Cordova project. The build number is used to differentiate between
different versions of the app, and should be incremented before distributing
a built app to stores or testing services. #4048
* Other changes include performance enhancements when building and running,
and improved requirements checking and error reporting.
* Known issue: we do not currently show logging output when running on the
iOS Simulator. As a workaround, you can `meteor run ios-device` to open the
project in Xcode and watch the output there.

* Expose `Spiderable.requestTimeoutMs` from `spiderable` package to
allow apps to set the timeout for running phantomjs.
### Meteor Mobile
* Upgrade the Cordova CLI dependency from 4.2.0 to 5.0.0. See the release notes
for the 5.x series of the Cordova CLI [on Apache
Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/news/2015/04/21/tools-release.html). #4390
* Upgrade the Cordova Android dependency to 4.0. Now requires Android 22 images
and uses Gradle instead of Ant as a build system.
* Add the following Cordova Plugins dependencies in core packages:
- `cordova-plugin-legacy-whitelist`: `n/a -> 1.0.1`
* Switch to Core Cordova Plugins served from npm.
* Allow adding local Cordova plugins with `file://` URIs. #4229
* Allow specifying a `buildNumber` in `App.info`, which is used to set the

### Other bug fixes and improvements
* The `spiderable` package now reports the URL it's trying to fetch on failure.
