The following plugins now require `cordova-android@5.0.0`. Please read the [Android 5.0.0 release blog](http://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/11/09/cordova-android-5.0.0.html) for instructions to update.
* cordova-plugin-camera@2.0.0
* cordova-plugin-contacts@2.0.0
* cordova-plugin-file@4.0.0
* cordova-plugin-geolocation@2.0.0
* cordova-plugin-media@2.0.0
## Update
Since `cordova-android@5.0.0` isn't yet pinned by default in `cordova`, you will have to explicitly install these new versions of these five plugins now. The previous released versions of the above five plugins are still set to `latest` on npm instead of these newly released versions. These will be set to `latest` once we release `cordova@6` which will have `cordova-android@5.0.0` pinned.
E.g.
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera@2.0.0 --save
To see what versions exist for a plugin, run `npm info PLUGINNAME versions`.
----
You can update any plugin by removing it, and then re-adding it.
E.g. To update your camera plugin:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-camera --save
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --save
