Last week Cordova saw 39 commits come in, `plugman` reached version `0.11.0`, and `CLI` reached `3.0.9`.

`plugman` now has initial support for Windows Phone, plugin URLs can now
[specify a git hash and subdirectory](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4622),
and `<engine>` tags [are now enforced](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4494).
There was also good progress made towards launching our [Plugin Registry](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4489).
