Rather than releasing plugin updates for every product version available, it makes more sense to focus on the latest/the most used versions.
Here, you can find statistics showing which IDE versions are mostly in use:

Please note, that the sum is more than 100%. It is because some users either used several IDE versions or updated their IDE during the current month.
In general, statistics show the following trends:
It makes sense to support the latest major release, as well as at least two previous major releases (in this case, you are covering the majority of the users â on average, it's somewhat 80%). This % doesn't change from product to product much.
The latest version of the product is used by roughly 50% of the users (and it does take some time to upgrade to the newest version, especially in the companies, so it may be a bit lower at the moment).
The longer the product is on the market, the more significant is the portion of "Other versions" = versions older than "Latest major release â3" (which is logical, given that we used to have perpetual licenses and provide fallback licenses with our subscription offer).
