Hi, Today we encountered an issue with the installation of add-ons for XXE 4.2.1. We haven't upgraded to 4.4.0 yet. We have a couple of dependent add-ons that where always installed from www.xmlmind.com (Batik toolkit, FOP and DITA). I looked in the download folder on your site and saw that only for 3.8.1, 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 there are add-on zips and corresponding xxe_addon files.
I have now taken our 4.2.1 dependencies and provide them locally (putting xxeVersion to 4.2.1+). I also did a compare and saw that some add-ons are not really new but only have xxeVersion element changed to 4.4.0 which means that our 4.2.1 users could not see them anymore. I understand that in some cases an add-on is strictly tied to an XXE version because it may use features of that new version. But if that is not the case why not flag them as x.y+ so that they may be found independent of the XXE version? I don't mind providing some add-ons locally because that removes the dependency on the xmlmind site but it would be kinder if for all released versions there would be an .xxe_addon file that points to a usable add-on version, especially since a default installation will have http://www.xmlmind.net/xmleditor/_download/list-${XXE_VERSION}.xxe_addon as a default download location.
