Changing the plugin ID [message #898849]

Hi,

I'm close to finishing a new release of my plugin. One issue is making my release preprations complicated though: I have changed the plugin's ID since the last version.

Why? Because my domain has changed. The old one still exists, for now, but I've moved everything to the new domain, and I want my package structure and ID hierarchy to reflect that.

I'm fine with people not automatically seeing the new version of the plugin as an update for the old one. But I'd like the new version of the plugin (with the new ID) to replace the old version (with the old ID) when it's installed - otherwise there will be two different versions of the same plugin running simultaneously, which is a) pointless and could b) cause problems.

Is there any way to tell the plugin or the associated feature that in addition to itself, it also contains a new version of another plugin with a custom ID (in my case, the old one)?

Thx,
Marian.
