For the most part you can ignore the micro version number, i.e. the ".10" in 1.0.10, when looking for Trac plugins. You mainly need to look for plugins compatible with Trac 1.0. Trac version numbers have progressed as: 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 1.0 Trac 1.1.x is a preview release for the next major release, 1.2. The things to be aware of in that release are explained on the TracDownloads page (1). Much of the time a plugin created for 0.10 will not work with Trac 0.11 and higher because Trac switched from ClearSilver to Genshi as the templating system. Many plugins created for Trac 0.11 will work with Trac 0.12 and 1.0. I suggest setting up an environment running with TracStandalone in order to test out plugins before installing them in your production environment. However, you can also get a lot of information about plugins just by looking at their development history. If there is recent repository activity, the plugin probably works with Trac 1.0. Also, the tags on a plugin page (lower right corner) should indicate which versions of Trac the plugin is compatible with. Sometimes the tags on a page haven't been updated. If you are unsure, feel free to post a question here to ask.
