We are happy to announce that we have just released `cordova 9.0.0`!

* [cordova@9.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova)

**To upgrade:**

```
npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova@9.0.0
```

## Release Highlights

In addition to various improvements and fixes, this release has updated its core library. 

All of the latest platform releases are available by default.

* `cordova-android@^8.0.0`
* `cordova-browser@^6.0.0`
* `cordova-electron@^1.0.0`
* `cordova-ios@^5.0.0`
* `cordova-osx@^5.0.0`
* `cordova-windows@^7.0.0`

Additionally, Cordova Electron, one of the newest supported platfroms, is available!

This release has also deprecated the `browserify`,  `fetch`, and `copy-from` options.

As NodeJS 4.x support has been dropped by the NodeJS team on April 30th, 2018, we have raised the minimum required NodeJS version for this release to 6.x.

Please report any issues you find at [issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!
