Thank you folks in advance for your time and attention

Here is the scenario.

I have Jenkins LTS 2.122 version and I have plugins for that installed.

Now the Jenkins 2.138 is released and I want to upgrade.

How do I check the version for the plugin that  works for 2.138 or below ?
Apart from downloading plugin, unwrapping it and look at the Jenkins version field, is there any other way ?

This is doable but it is very laborious and I have to go from what ver of plugin I have and go up one level check and keep going up the version list.

I am trying to pick minds of smart people here please.

The Jenkins-Version field embedded in the plugin manifest file is the minimum Jenkins version supported, not the maximum.  Jenkins works very hard to allow older plugins to continue operating in newer releases.

Thank you for your help.

Good to know that plugins are relatively safe to use.
