tl;dr – There was a delay when updating plugins in the repository, everything seems to work fine again.
We have been receiving reports from plugin authors indicating that updates to their plugins made to SVN are not reflecting the changes on the plugin page.
We understand that this situation is frustrating for plugin authors, as it’s challenging to determine whether the problem lies with an incorrect “Stable tag”, an incorrect “Version”, a mess with the folders or a combination of all of these.
Besides those cases, as far as we know, this seems to be a technical issue in the repository, so it’s on meta team.
We have already escalated this issue to them and are waiting for it. Please wait patiently with us.
We will update this post as soon as we have more information. To help us manage other tasks within the repository, please refrain from sending us emails about this matter, as the updates provided here will contain all available information.
