We need to update needed to webinstaller.xml file.

I will do that in the next hours, and close this issue once done.

I will do that in the next hours

I didn't know 250+ hours counted as a few ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just a "playful" ping on this though. Folks have been testing the 3.6 alpha and repeatedly bringing up the inability to install the plugin.

On a side note, any reason you don't use a regex like 3.[56789] that way it defaults to being forward compatible, as extensions should be, instead of requiring man hours to make these updates with every minor release?

Cool! So the XML definition supports regex for the version numbers ?

Yep. Languages have been using it for years (see https://update.joomla.org/language/details3/nl-BE_details.xml as an example). Before 3.5 the regex could only be down to the minor version number but from 3.5 forward you can regex the entire version string and the min_dev_level and max_dev_level attributes on the <targetplatform> tag are deprecated in favor of full version regex.

@mbabker I love "playful" ๐Ÿ‘ ... Playful just doesn't rub in the wrong direction ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks for your side-note too! I have now applied that too, and updated supported platforms up to 3.9 whatever that is, since Joomla 3.x must have B/C ๐Ÿ˜„

That closes this issue too :-)
