I have created a wordpress plugin from scratch. When I check other plugins in Wordpress admin. If there is any update in Plugins installed page, I can see a message Say, for e.g Contact Form - I am right now getting a message
There is a new version of Contact Form 7 available. View version 3.7.2 details or update now.
What will I have to do so that people come to know any new version of my plugin is available. What will be case If the plugin is free and also incase it is paid.
One last question How do add the feature to check for wordpress compatibility of the plugin. Since I have programmed it to work on Wordpress version 3.8.1. How can I be sure that the plugin will also work on lower versions of wordpress 3.8.1. Is installing it on every wordpress version and testing the plugin the only way to know. Or is there any simple approach to know the plugin will be compatible.
Thanks in Advance.
