Informational: statistics on NVDA 2025.1.x compatible add-ons (July 10, 2025)

Hi all,

Hope the following is useful for add-on users:

Statistics on NVDA 2025.1.x compatible add-ons as of July 10, 2025 (based on add-on store data):

• Add-ons registered on the add-on store: 276
• NVDA 2025.1.x compatible add-ons across update channels: 160 (58%)
• Stable add-ons compatible with NVDA 2025.1.x: 145 (52%)
• Earliest NVDA 2025.1.x compatible add-on registration date across update channels: August 27, 2024
• Earliest registration date for NVDA 2025.1.x compatible stable add-ons: June 10, 2025

Procedure used: Git log of add-on store repository, specifically “views” branch (this branch is the one used to expose add-on metadata to NVDA when add-on store is accessed).

Notes:

1. Expect more add-ons (specifically, stable releases) to be made compatible with NVDA 2025.1.x in coming weeks.
2. The add-ons registered on the add-on store is only a fraction of add-ons available across places such as Spanish community catalog, add-on sources (typically GitHub), and elsewhere. This means more add-ons are compatible with 2025.1.x (please contact add-on authors on status of their add-ons, as well as willingness for their add-ons to be registered on the add-on store if not made available there yet).
3. NVDA 2025.1 is a compatibility breaking release. While some add-ons will work when force enabled from the add-on store, there are add-ons that will not work without editing their code (that requires work from add-on authors).
4. Editing the add-on manifests (to inform NVDA that an add-on is compatible at the local level) should not be used anymore; to override compatibility data and enable add-ons, use add-on store (knowing the risk).

Cheers,

Joseph
