This release has various bug fixes for all of our supported platforms.
Our friends at [Mozilla](http://www.mozilla.org/) have put together a blog
post about getting started with cordova firefoxOS. Check it out at [mozilla
hacks link here](LINK IT).
To upgrade: (replace `android` with the platform you want to update):
npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform update android
For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the [upgrade guides](
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.4.0/guide_platforms_index.md.html).
