[ jEdit-users ] Unsupported plugins

[mike d. <md...@st...>]

hello-

lately, a number of people of asked me if there was some way they could
get access to the old versions of plugins on Plugin Central. all of the
archive files have been on the server all along, but until now, there was
no way to access them.

as a preliminary step in this direction, i have changed the server
configuration a little to allow browsing of the /archives/ heirarchy on
jedit.standmed.com. old versions of plugins are in the directory
http://jedit.standmed.com/archives/plugins/unsupported/.

these old versions of plugins are *UNSUPPORTED*. the majority of plugin
author have neither the time nor energy to support multiple versions of
their work, so once they move on to a new version, the old version goes
into the unsupported directory.

in the near future, i will add a list of links to detail pages for old
versions to the bottom of each plugin's main detail page. this page will
basically say what i've said above, in addition to advising users to check
out the latest version of a plugin before reporting bugs which may have
been fixed.
