== External plugin development
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
==============================================
|
|
The {kib} plugin interfaces are in a state of constant development. We cannot provide backwards compatibility for plugins due to the high rate of change. {kib} enforces that the installed plugins match the version of {kib} itself. Plugin developers will have to release a new version of their plugin for each new {kib} release as a result.
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
Most developers who contribute code directly to the {kib} repo are writing code inside plugins, so our <<contributing>> docs are the best place to
|
|
start. However, there are a few differences when developing plugins outside the {kib} repo. These differences are covered here.
