Many of these are minor, or only relevant to a couple of platforms. However, some notable changes include:
* `statusbar` is now a core Cordova plugin, and now includes support for Windows Phone
* `splashscreen` now includes support for Tizen
* `file` now produces webview-compatible URLs (file:///) URLs by default when calling `.toURL`
* `file` includes much of the functionality of the `file-system-roots` plugin, and allows access to all files on the device (except those blocked by the OS)
* iOS In-App-Browser now supports `clearcache` and `clearsessioncache` like Android
* Fixed several issues in `media-capture` which prevented it from being used with the `file` plugin
* iOS warnings have been fixed when compiling for 64-bit ARM
* Windows8 uses the built-in cordova exec proxy for all plugins, rather than a custom proxy.
The plugins have been updated on our registry at [plugins.cordova.io](http://plugins.cordova.io/).
E.g. To update your file plugin:
cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.file
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.file
