We miss the codenav, extrasel, insertnum, prettyprinter and treebrowser
plugins then. I do not consider any of these essential for the regular
work with geany, so we could drop them from the release. However I do
not know how users will think when they know upstream released 0.19 with
these, but Debian does not ship them while calling the version also 0.19
(with my Debian hat off and the user hat on, I'd have a short wtf
moment, looking at the version number and expecting the plugins being
there).

@hyperair: do you have any strong opinion on this? Julien is right
saying dropping all new plugins is the easiest way to go.
