Add version compatibility to addons site

What do you think about the idea to add a field with elkarte version compatibility in addons website? Right now there are some add-ons compatible with 1.1 but you need to check the topic to see if they are compatible or not.

Yes, I prefer to use some other option instead of "Requires: ElkArte 1.0 (+)", since that doesn't tells you if it's compatible with 1.1 in this case.

Most of the addons are in this forum addon board and all users have to do is - ask in the relevant addon topic. Good interactions as between addon users and authors will help this forum to grow as well as giving good input to other readers.

The addon site will show what the author adds to the "elkversion" field in the yaml file (the file you commit to the addon site to publish the release). So if that field says 1.0-1.1 the site shows ........ Requires ElkArte 1.0-1.1 (+) So starting here, what improvement would you like to see to help?

Thats a valid point ... right now the details does not show the version compatibility details and it should. I opened the issue so its tracked.

That's why I opened this topic, I googled the add-on name and arrived on the page with full description, I was looking for elkarte version compatibility and it wasn't there.

I can't remember how to post/fix it at the github via PR. I'll go through again latwr and see if I can update all my addons' descriptions including their ElkArte version compatibality, if possible. But first I will update the ones in this forum first.
