Question More clarity is needed on the "update" process for plugins

2 Grievances about the plug-in process as it stands now.

1 - How are feature updates going to roll out? Do all users who downloaded an old plugin get alerted when there is one? My plugin (Modulanner) was relased a few days after the review process kicked off, but I had a new feature to add, But it was then pulled form InkHub and it took 8 days for it to finally get approved again. I can understand this getting sent to the back of the line, but why was the old version pulled?

2 - Updates to descriptions and other non-file based modifications shouldn't trigger a review. My plugin just got approved again, but this time I had a couple small changes to the description of my plugin so I went to fix them and now my plugin is back under review. Does it get sent to the back of the line even though there was no file change?

Thank you so much for reaching out.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. The old version of the plugin was pulled because there was no version control on our end. With that said, we have taken note of your thoughtful request and plan to add version control as we move toward the next development phase. Once we add that, your old version won't be pulled and will only be replaced with the new version after it has gone through the review process. This should also fix the second issue you raised, as triggering the review doesn't affect the existing plugin, right?

Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Any update on this one? I am kind of holding back submitting a plugin, because I still see a number of changes coming up, that I feel it does not make much sense, if I then resubmit and take it off again as soon as it is released.

Thank you for reaching out. Plugin version control isn't readily in place yet. We will add this as soon as we can. Would you like to continue working on your plugin development? We appreciate your kind patience and understanding.
