Upgrading Backstage
As a general rule, please ensure that your Backstage version aligns with the current compatible version for the plugins. It's important to verify compatibility before updating Backstage.
Minimum v1.16.0
The plugins depend on recent and ongoing changes in Backstage. To guarantee that your Backstage installation has all the necessary functionality, upgrade to the version specified above. If your Backstage version is lower, you can use the Backstage Upgrade Helper to ensure that you've incorporated all required changes during the upgrade process. Additionally, please note that these plugins may be compatible with versions newer than the one listed above.
Upgrading the Plugins
Just like with Backstage itself, we highly recommend you stay on the latest version of the plugins. Thankfully this follows the same process, you can simply run the version:bump command like this:
yarn backstage-cli versions:bump --pattern "@spotify/backstage*"
This will bump all the related plugin packages for you. As you are doing this, you'll also want to check the release notes to see if there are any manual changes needed.
