The plugin info library allows you to analyze shopware plugin metadata of the new plugin.json metadata file. This way you can read versions or changelogs from a plugin without having to analyze the bootstrap file itself.
Via Composer
$ composer require shopwarelabs/plugin-infouse Shopware\PluginInfo;
use Shopware\PluginInfo\Backend;
$info = new PluginInfo(new Zip());
$plugin = $info->get('plugin.zip');
$plugin->getCurrentVersion() // 2.4.0
$plugin->isCompatibleWith('4.3.0') // boolean
$plugin->getChangelogs() // array of changelogs
$plugin->getChangelog('2.4.0', 'en') // english changelog for version 2.4.0
The plugin.json file should be placed in the same folder as the Bootstrap.php.
It looks like this:
