    +We just released a small update to our tools!
    +
    +* [cordova@7.1.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
    +* [cordova-lib@7.1.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
    +* [cordova-plugman@1.5.1](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
    +* [cordova-fetch@1.2.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-fetch)
    +* [cordova-common@2.1.1](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-common)
    +* [cordova-node-xcode@1.0.0](https://www.npmjs.org/package/xcode)
    +* [cordova-js@4.2.2](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-js)
    +
    +## Release Highlights
    +
    +* [CB-13303](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13303) added `--production` flag by default. This means that when the commands `cordova platform add android` or `cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device` are run, under the hood we are running `npm install android --production`. The `--production` flag only installs `dependencies` from `package.json` and skips `devDependencies`.  This should speed up installs (especially when installing local copies of platforms and plugins). You can turn the flag off by passing the `--noprod` flag or setting it off globally via `cordova config set production false`.
    +* [CB-13353](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13353) added `--save-exact` flag. This will allow to save an exact version of a platform or plugin instead of a range. `cordova platform add android@6.3.0 --save-exact`. You can also set it true by default in your global config via `cordova config set save-exact true`
    +* This is the first release of `cordova-node-xcode` under the apache cordova banner. It was originally created and used as a dependency for `cordova-lib`, but now is being used by many other projects as well. We have decided to give the project a major release to `1.0.0`. This is to represent stability for the project in terms of `semver`. No breaking change has happened from the previous release. 
    +* [CB-13308](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13308) fixed issues with restoring plugins and platforms while using `npm@5+`.
    +* [CB-12787](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12787) Fix plugin installation with `--link` option.
    +* [CB-13056](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13056) added deprecation notice for **WebOS**
    +* [CB-13057](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13057) added deprecation warning for `cordova platform save`
    +
    +To update your cordova CLI:
    +
    +    npm install -g cordova@latest
    +
    +Please report any issues you find at [issues.cordova.io](http://issues.cordova.io/)!

    Can we call this out more prominently for downstream tooling?
