And because we introduced the plugin version check into mpe file in 1.2.0 RC, you can no longer install an mpe file which was created with 1.2.0 Beta.

1.2.0 RC will tell you that the mpe file is not compatible, because the compatibility info is missing in that mpe file.

So the plugin author has to update to 1.2.0 RC, open his extension project, save the *.mpe file again, and upload this to the repository.

Now you can install the extension using the mpe file he provided.2. already installed extensionsIf you have a 1.2.0 beta install up and running, you can upgrade to 1.2.0 RC and all will continue to work.
If you have an older version of MP, none of the plugins nor skins will continue to work. You must get compatible versions.I hope I could clear that up. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I have already updated the news a bit to make it clear what will work and what won't after upgrading from 1.2.0 Beta or an earlier version.</blockquote>
