Description
In the simplifying of the directory, we've acknowledged that the trial of the 'Other Notes' section failed overall, and as a result removed that functionality.
We shouldn't simply discard the data though, many plugins make use of it.
I've suggested elsewhere that we should simply suffix the Other Notes
content to the end of the Description. Not always the best location for it, but better than discarding it.

We won't be supporting it as a separate section going forward. The majority of plugins which use it that i've seen it's more or less an extension of the description for when they let their description get too-damn-long.
The View Details
link in core will also no longer display the Other Notes
section, instead it'll be shown as it is in the directory (which right this moment, is not at all).
This is similar to the Installation
notes section, which is no longer displayed anywhere at all. Plugins will need to migrate that content over.
Is there some reason for not just keeping it as it's own section? I'm not sure much of what get's put in
Other Notes
has enough similarity to logically fit appended toDescription
.If the problem is the inability to add another section, then appending to
Description
makes the most sense.Also, not having a separate
Other Notes
section gives different more info inView details
fromplugins.php
than on the directory. If the plan would be to remove it from theView details
too I'm not sure that's such a good idea either. Pure speculation on my part that theView details
might change.
