The bug for that is: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314530 It is certainly bad coding in the sense that the <= was probably never tested in the Kate code. It obviously does not behave as wanted, but that probably could be expected. The same bug probably exists when loading Kate app plugins in kate/app/katepluginmanager.cpp in KatePluginManager::setupPluginList Here, X-Kate-Version is used through // idea: in version 2.8, the Kate application interfaces changed (BIC) double pVersion = ptr->property("X-Kate-Version").toDouble(); if ((pVersion >= 2.8) && (pVersion <= KateApp::kateVersion(false).toDouble())) It should be done through properly by comparing major/minor versions, I guess.
