Hello All,
I'm pretty sure this isn't a feature, besides on install. But is it possible to tell of plugin compatibility before updating your NodeBB instance? Just putting this out there for example, WordPress:

If we can automatically update in the future, this might be a good suggestion.

The first plugin is the one written by @psychobunny, and is actively maintained. The others are forks.

Hmm. That might make sense, maybe on plugin activate it appends to end and on deactivate it removes it

I correctly assumed (and this has been validated through actual plugin upgrades) that the latest hash in npm points to the most recently published version, and not the highest version.

That is, given your plugin nodebb-plugin-example
If v1.0.0 is compatible with v0.5.4 If v1.1.0 is compatible only with v0.6.0 The latter is published first A user typing npm install nodebb-plugin-example will receive v1.0.0 of the plugin, irrespective of what NodeBB version he/she is running, even though v1.1.0 is technically newer
Now, special note: The NodeBB Package Manager doesn't do this. When the ACP calls nbbpm to request a suggested package, we query npm for the plugin data, and sort the versions before checking compatibility, so this issue is moot.
