Yes, a couple plugins got lost in the process (DevHelp and Multiterm if I 
recall correctly).  It's inevitable if the authors aren't here to upgrade, 
there will be loss, as we can't maintain them all.  In case of DevHelp, the 
plugin was doomed since day 1 (and the author knew it) because the library it 
relied on was already on its last leg at that time.

We sometimes do update plugins in the geany-plugins repository even if their 
authors orphan them because we feel enough like it, but that's not the deal: in 
theory it's still each plugin's maintainer duty to keep them aflow.

Hopefully they will all be updated, otherwise they will stop working.  We don't 
have plan to allow running plugins using a different GUI toolkit (version) than 
Geany is.
