New updates of `cordova` and `cordova-lib` are now available!

* [cordova@6.3.1](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
* [cordova-lib@6.3.1](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)

In this release we've fixed a couple of bugs, including regression that was causing `cordova run` and `cordova emulate`
commands ignore `--nobuild` option.

To update your cordova CLI:

    npm install -g cordova@latest

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