[josm-dev] Hi to all plugin maintainers!

2012-03-03 Thread Ilya Zverev
Not a day without surprise: one of josm-tested users has been greeted 
with the following message: CommandLine plugin needs JOSM version 4980, 
and you have 4878. It turns out, most plugins in osm svn had their 
minimal versions updated to 4980, which is greater that josm-tested 
version. Obviously, it was because a lot of shortcut code was 
deprecated, and someone decided that deprecation should immediately be 
followed by removal. Consequently, if someone wants to have the latest 
version of a specific plugin, he also has to upgrade to the latest, 
unstable version of JOSM. And I don't know what those who download 
josm-tested for the first time should do.


Is josm-tested officially unsupported now? Or is there a separate 
repository for plugins compatible with it?

Old josm version don't get newer plugins. So when your user had a version 
requiring 4980, but he only has 4878, then he did no use the internal 
plugin interface to download it. When users download files by hand, then 
automatic methods do not work.


In this case simply do a plugin update in JOSM, which in this case 
results in a real downgrade to the last valid plugin for this version.
