<p>You get an email daily if there is some difference between WordPress.org’s Changelog page and readme.txt in SVN trunk.</p>
<h4>Only for development!</h4>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>After activation a “Watch” link is added to each plugin. You may add there a plugin to watch for changelog differences. After clicking on “Watch” it toggles to Unwatch and vice versa.</p>
<h4>Activation</h4>
<p>The daily (wp-cron) cycle begins when you activate the plugin. The email is sent to the <strong>admin email</strong> address with subject <code>[<plugin-name>] Changelog mismatch</code>.</p>
<p>The email’s body is the first line (the latest release listed) of the SVN version and the WordPress.org Changelog page. You can write to plugins AT wordpress.org to correct the problem or wait for your next release.</p>
<h4>Links</h4>

Plugin changelog checker

Notifies you - the plugin developer - about WP.org not displaying changelog correctly.

<p>Have you ever needed to upgrade a plugin to it’s latest (unreleased) version?<br />
With SVN Updater you get a new action (Trunk) on the Plugins page.</p>
<p>Development of this plugin is done <a href="https://github.com/szepeviktor/svn-updater" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>.<br />
Pull requests are welcome.</p>


SVN Updater

Works well for such a simple plugin.
WordPress is lacking in a good way to phase users in to major plugin updates. (either you manually install from trunk, or get a surprise as soon as the stable tag changes)
I'd love to see this worked into a more fully fledged "beta tester" plugin that hooks into auto-updates when the dev version is bumped.



Just what I needed

Install any WordPress.org plugin's trunk version from SVN.
