Good morning,

As you should be aware, we have recently added a version control system for NVDA add-ons.  This allows authors to specify a minimum required and last tested version of NVDA.  While currently, NVDA will still work with older add-ons, in a future version, NVDA will refuse to install or enable add-ons which do not contain this information or where the current version falls outside the minimum and tested versions.

I have had emails from a number of users who are concerned that the add-ons they rely on will no longer work with a future version of NVDA.  I am writing particularly to anyone who hasn't updated their add-ons recently, to both make sure you are aware of this situation and to seek reassurance that you intend to update your add-on (or if you intend not to update it).  I would like to then pass this reassurance back to our mutual users directly (for those who have asked) and via our In-Process blog: https://www.nvaccess.org/category/in-process/ 

I've written to several developers individually and skipped others who I can see have updated their add-ons with version information recently.  So if you get this request twice, I apologise.

Feel free to either reply to me personally or back to the list as you see fit.

Kind regards

Quentin.
