We did a monumental effort to clear out the backlog before 4.5 and it worked!
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.

Last week I mentioned we were keeping track of how many people updated their readmes based on the emails we sent out.
On March 28th, before we sent the email out 442 plugins had marked themselves as compatible with 4.5, making up 1.92% of all plugins.
On April 1st, we were up to 1167 (5.06%).
So yes. It does work!
We plan on making the data public (it’s not a secret) it just needs to be tossed into a sensible spreadsheet, and that’s going to have to wait to be organized after 4.5 😉
