You mean changing the logic in plugin API ?

I assume @cproensa does not want to change the logic but means just replacing the dependency to something like
'MantisCore' => '2.0, &lt; 3.0',

Actually, i mean changing the logic in plugin api
If i recall correctly, requiring "MantisCore => 2.0" will be valid for 2.0.0 through 2.0.999...
With the new version releases, it should be changed to be valid for 2.0 through 2.999...

MantisCore => 2.0, < 3.0

I haven't tested, but i suspect that would not work, if it would resolve to >=2.0 AND <2.1 OR >=2.9 AND <3.0

@cproensa You are correct, see https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/blob/release-2.0.0/core/plugin_api.php#L558

With the new version releases, it should be changed to be valid for 2.0 through 2.999...

I think it makes sense to change this as you propose. Of course this implies that we'd have to defer any plugin API breaking change to the next major version (which is how it should be IMO).

Repeating comment posted in response to vboctor's question in https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/991#issuecomment-272107185

Can we have the dependency to be > 2.0.0 rather than exactly 2.0.0?

It is. The problem is that the plugin API silently adds a &lt; x.y+1 so the effective version requirement is (>=) 2.0.0, &lt; 2.1 in this case. This was added due to BC issues between 1.2 and 1.3. As per discussion in in 0022171, we should change the logic so the plugin API does &lt; x+1, reflecting the fact that BC changes should on principle only happen in major releases.

Fix MantisCore plugin dependencies

In issue 0017360, we introduced setting a default maximum version for
MantisCore to avoid compatibility issues by disabling plugins which have
not been updated for a new Mantis release, with a break on every minor
version (x.Y.z).

With 2.0 and the decision to only introduce breaking changes on major
versions (X.y.z), this code has to be changed.
