I really need this. I can't believe it is still not there - a massive oversight in my humble opinion. Currently, it require s a lot of clicking and surfing to find this info which should really be displayed continually on the plugins in WP.
At the very least, plugins should show a link to their page in the plugin directory so that users can check the version there before updating Wordpress.
In Drupal, plugin (module) developers are required to test and provide compatibility data for their own plugins rather than relying on the community to do this (which is a flawed idea, IMO). Can this approach also be brought to Wordpress?
