Why are WooCommerce “official” plugins behind in compatibility/tested version?

    In looking at the upgrade to WooCommerce 3.8, I have to ask the question as to why are “Official” WooCommerce plugins behind in tested/compatibility WooCommerce version? Why aren’t these tested/updated? At least a few we are using were up to 3.7, but some are quite a bit further back:

    Facebook for WooCommerce 3.3.5
    WooCommerce Conditional Content 3.5.3
    WooCommerce Help Scout 3.6
    WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping 3.6

    WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing 3.7.0
    WooCommerce Gravity Forms Product Add-Ons 3.7.0
    WooCommerce Stripe Gateway 3.7.1

    Yes, there is a larger list of other vendor’s plugins, but these are ‘official’ so I would think they would be kept tested/updated.

    Hi @scmsteve

    All of the plugins in the WooCommerce.com Marketplace developed and supported by WooCommerce, are tested against the latest version of WooCommerce, but that message may still remain if we didn’t have to update the plugin (the message is only removed when the plugin is updated). But rest assured they are compatible.

    Hope this helps to explain.

    Please take the time to update the versions in the plugins, it is not helpful at all to see them lagging behind. I cannot just assume they are fine when there is no indication they have been tested.
