# Plugin Team update for April 04, 2016

#### PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory 󠀁[https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)󠁿 or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Status Change Stats

6,462 commits [1386463 – 1380001]

**Notes:**

The commits are about 1000 more than ‘normal’ but seeing as last week we also sent
out the reminder to please update your readmes to 4.5 compatibility, it was expected.
Unexpected was the extra load _possibly_ causing a 2-hour backup of processed commits.

Also with the 4.5 compatibility issue in mind, we made a list of all plugins and
their ‘compatible up to’ status before we sent the email and the day after. For 
4.5 compatibility, we went from 1.92% of plugins listing compatibly right before
we sent to email to 3.36% within 24 hours. This is the first time we’ve tracked 
this, so the meaning of this is a bit up in the air.

Yes, we’ll make the data public. It’s really ugly right now and I’m not sure how
best to store it for sorbability.
