+* 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.
