Hi all, (hopefully) simple question: Is the version of QGIS indicated by `qgisMaximumVersion` in plugins' metadata assumed to be compatible? Or is it (under certain circumstances perhaps) an excluded upper boundary as in `[qgisMinimumVersion,qgisMaximumVersion)` in mathematical terms?
For further context information, see below. Best regards, Sebastian --- `qgisMaximumVersion` values reported for plugins compatible to QGIS 3.X: - QGIS 3.0: 3.4.0, 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.1: 3.4.0, 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.2: 3.4.0, 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.3: 3.4.0, 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.4: 3.4.0, 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.5: 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.6: 3.12.0, 3.6.99, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.7: 3.12.0, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.8: 3.12.0, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.9: 3.12.0, 3.9.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.10: 3.12.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.11: 3.12.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.12: 3.12.0, 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.13: 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 - QGIS 3.14: 3.98.0, 3.99.0, 4.0.0, 9.99.0 "3.99.0" is what QGIS-Django assumes by default (if no value is provided by a plugin). Applies to about 94% of all contemporary plugins. Based on QGIS' current implementation, "3.99.*" is assumed to be a precursor to "4.0.0" at some point in distant future, i.e. not part of the "3.X" branch. QGIS itself actually translates "3.99.*" to "4.0.0" internally. 6 plugins set the value to "4.0.0" directly (1%). "3.98.0" appears to be a value for indicating that the plugin is only compatible with QGIS 3.X (and not 4.0 or any of its precursors). It is used by exactly 31 plugins (4%). The "WKTBulkLoader" plugin assumes to be compatible almost indefinitely by setting the value to "9.99.0" :) The "anomalies" from the above are: - tiles_xyz==0.8.1 -> QGIS 3.6.99 - geopec==1.0 -> QGIS 3.9.0 - shoguneditor==0.2 -> QGIS 3.4.0 - qgisnetworklogger==0.3.0 -> QGIS 3.12.0 Values like "3.12.0" as found in qgisnetworklogger==0.3.0 for instance appear to indicate that it is an included upper boundary. On the other hand side, values like "3.99.0" or "4.0.0" indicate that the value is interpreted as an excluded upper boundary. It's much more unlikely that current plugins will actually run with QGIS 4.0 (but not with 4.2). _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
