Notepad++ 8.2.1 incompatible with ComparePlugin 2.0.2

Johnny Stevens

Notepad++ 8.2.1 Plugin Manager provides only one version of the ComparePlugin (v 2.0.2), but the compatibility of ComparePlugin is as follows:
8.2.1 -> 2.0.1
8.2.2 -> 2.0.2

Plugin Manager should only show compatible versions of the plugin.

See https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases for developer note.

See https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+notepad+crash for list of reports to ComparePlugin github site.

@johnny-stevens ,

Plugin Manager hasn’t been compatible with Notepad++ for years. I assume you mean the Plugins Admin.

A fresh unzip of Notepad++ v8.2.1 shows that Plugins Admin links to Compare Plugin v2.0.1

v8.2.2 was never officially released (there was a RC with that number, but it was released as v8.3). v8.3 Plugins Admin links to Compare Plugin v2.0.2.

In other words, the actual releases link to the right versions of the Compare Plugin. WooHoo, it does it right!
