That brings up another issue - how do we handle different versions of a plugin for different versions of SC?

At the moment, the Extension Downloader is SC7.3 only, and therefore all plugins listed in a repository will have been built for 7.3.

When newer revisions of SC are out, a pluign author may need to create different versions for each SC version. Would the plugin just appear in the repository several times with different min/max version ranges?

If a plugin only works with 7.3, and a user upgrades from 7.3 to 8.0, what will happen with the installed plugin? Will extension downloader uninstall it, or indicate that it is incompatible? If there is also a newer version that does work with 8.0, will be automatically upgrade the installed plugin?

It won't automatically upgrade - but it will allow only the right version to be installed. When you upgrade the old version will stop working and so you should manually update.

I did read the wiki. I saw the min, max and OS target filters. But it didn't explain how they would be used. i.e. Will all plugin versions be listed and incompatible ones disabled, because currently it doesn't show the min/max supported version information.

Soemone on SC7.3 may only want to upgrade to 7.4 if all of their plugins will be supported in the next release.
