Author decide for which NB version they make which Plugin version available. Consider the situation: Plugin Version 1.0 uses API available from NB 19 onwards Plugin Version 2.0 uses API available from NB 24 onwards How, if not the author, should make the call which NB version is the baseline? And before you say: "A trivial!, just extend from last version!" What happens when we to a point release in the order: NB 23 NB 24 NB 23.1 Transfering compatibility expectations would be wrong for Plugins added for NB 24.
