for a plugin.
i'm running 0.7 version and there almost all plugins required 0.8
version. is taht really true?
This appears to be a problem with the generation of the plugins index.
It appears the 0.7 plugins index is showing the plugins for 0.8. We need
to make it so that the index only includes plugin version up to the
version number for the index being generated. That is, there should be
no 0.8 versions appearing on the 0.7 index page.
It appears that we missed this when creating the versioned pages.
Many of the plugins have a version that will work in 0.7. The best thing
to do if you need to clarify the situation is look to see if there is a
version of the plugin in http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.7/
All the plugins in this directory are for 0.7
You will see that there is a 0.3-dev version of the excel plugin that
will work with 0.7, specify that version number in your
forrest.properties. Note that the latest version only works with 0.8 as
it uses some 0.8 features to fix problems in earlier versions.
is it recommanded to update to 0.8 version?
THe best documented and support version is always the curent release
(0.7). 0.8 is very stable and is inching towards a release. It would, in
my opinion be safe to use 0.8 now, but there is no need to (see above.
