Overview
This plugin will query the WordPress.org servers in a background task to determine the number of days since the last SVN update.
This plugin has no interface. It only runs a background task daily and then modifies the main plugin table by adding the number of days since the plugin was last updated.
This plugin has not been tested with multi-site yet.

Feeling saver with it
by wpprup·1 year ago
Yes, I am feeling saver when this fine plugin shows the updated plugins in its green letters in the plugin list… 🙂
….speaking of “saver” I hope and wish it would be updated itself and will not be abandoned 😉 – compatibility with the newest WP (now 6.5.2) is pending… 😀
Thanks!

Did not work
by Alex R.·2 years ago
Sorry, but this plugin did not work. I activated it on our site, and also waited for several minutes, but nothing showed up in the plugins section.
Very important for security
by Li-An·5 years ago
The main problem with security with WP is that it does not show if the plugin you use is still maintained. With Veni, you can see if you need to search for an alternative to your favorite plugin very easily. I like the way it shows outdated plugins when you search for a plugin to install.
Works as advertised on multisite, too.
by vickita·5 years ago
I’m running this on a Multisite instance on my dev server and it appears to work just fine. The caveat that the criterion of how recently a plugin has been updated is not by itself an assurance of the health and security of that plugin is quite correct, however, when you’re running a large WP site with many plugins, it’s far too easy for an abandoned plugin to fall through the cracks of awareness and attention. To the degree that it does what it says it does, this plugin is a useful tool.
Works great

Very helpful for quickly identifying abandoned plugins from the repository.
