could there be/ is there already, a way to get plugin versions on the JS console of the browser inspector?
In CKEDITOR.plugins.externals i can see the installed plugins, but i did not find any version string.
Also, i did not find any plugin.js on the inspector's resources tab....
Interesting question. No, there's no plugin version available and actually... currently, this could only work if CKEditor package was built using the online builder, because only it has information about plugins versions. In order to be able to check that always, there would have to be version string in plugin definition, perhaps version validation on the addons repo (so it always equals the version set there), etc... A lot of work for both - us and developers basically and I don't see it realistic at the moment. Maybe in the future... Maybe in CKEditor 5. We'll think about this :).

You can always add a new feature request to the dev site. It would help to explain why this is an important feature.
