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
