Plugin Version Selection, Right From The UI

Now you can update versions of the plugins used for code analysis from the Repo Settings > Plugins page!

By default, your enabled plugins will use a default version (what we refer to as the stable channel). However, in some cases, you may want to specify a different version to match what you’re running locally. (For example, you may be running a newer version of Rubocop than our default version). Previously, this could only be done via a committed .codeclimate.yml or .codeclimate.json file. While that configuration is simple enough (and still necessary to adjust other analysis settings) we recognize it can add a little friction when getting your analysis configuration dialed-in. So we’ve added the ability to select different plugin versions, when available, right from the UI.

Try it out and let us know what you think!
