[dokuwiki] Re: Dev Version v/s Stable release

Only Andi can give you a definitive answer, however at present there haven't been any changes to the underlying Plugin API since the last release. In fact there have been very few changes to the plugin api for each particular plugin type since each one was released. Some of my original syntax plugins still work. In that time the plugin class has been extended but not in a way that breaks earlier plugins.
For action plugins, new events get added from time to time. If any of these events are necessary for your plugins you will need a more recent version.
Sometimes other changes in DW can affect particular plugins. E.g. changes in DW javascript or CSS. 

Cheers,

Chris

Hi,
I'm planning to switch a few web site I maintain in custom PHP to be dokuwiki based [because it rocks ;-) ]. 
Since I'll have to develop a few plugins for that, I was wondering...
Should I consider developing these against the stable version [~6 months old] or the most recent dev snapshot? 
Does it actually matter? Do plugins keep "forward" compatibility?
Also, is there any indication of about when a new version will be closed? 

Thanks!
Stephane
