The main focus of this plugins release was to drop support for those platforms as well. That is why many of the plugins have had major version increases. `cordova-plugin-contacts` and `cordova-plugin-globalization` have officially been deprecated. Read about our decision to deprecate `cordova-plugin-contacts` at https://cordova.apache.org/news/2017/11/27/Deprecation-of-cordova-contacts-plugin.html. For `cordova-plugin-globalization`, we have written a migration guide over to the built-in [ECMA Internationalization API](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-402/1.0/) at https://cordova.apache.org/news/2017/11/20/migrate-from-cordova-globalization-plugin.html. ---- You can update any plugin by removing it, and then re-adding it.
