> Poor users that lose all their plugins because the authors can't be bothered to bump their target API version. 

Don't be stupid, having plugin maintainer delay being a user crash is not a professional approach.  Plugin updates may be delayed for any number of reasons.

> Outright rejecting all "old" plugins is too overarching as it hits plugins that don't use the affected APIs.

Agree its not ideal, and agree that having Geany functions checking is impractical.  But the alternative is that we set users up for loss of work when Geany crashes.

> Please, don't make the problem of a few plugins to a problem for each and everyone.

Knowingly releasing a version of Geany that will cause plugin crashes for some unmodified plugins people is not professional.  Not all plugins are part of G-P, including your ones.  

It is unacceptable to crash users because a busy plugin maintainer did not notice they needed to change something.  Its not the plugin maintainers problem, you set them up to fail!!!
