Plugin Updates

Plugin updates are important for the security and functionality of a plugin. Even though the Obsidian plugin API is very stable and things rarely get changed, it's can still happen that a plugin no longer works as expected on a new version of Obsidian, especially when a plugin uses undocumented parts of the API. Though it is worth noting that a plugin can work perfectly fine for years without any updates.

The following chart shows the overall distribution of plugin inactivity.

The next chart shows years of inactivity grouped by the month in which the plugin was released. The negative space represents the percentage of plugins that have been updated within the last year.
