In our `plugin.json` we currently set `dependencies.grafanaVersion` to `4.x.x`. Is that a minimum version, or is there something I need to do to indicate that our plugin also works with 5.x?

Hi,

The idea is that it should say the minimum version. However in Grafana nor on [Grafana.com](http://Grafana.com) there’s no restrictions if you would try to use a plugin on Grafana 3.0 that has a minimum version of 4.x.x. Hopefully we can make this a better experience in the future.
