is it possible to change the readme.txt of a plugin that is hosted at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-name without tagging a new version?
I would like wordpress.org to show the new readme.txt.
I have added a link to the plugin documentation but I do not want to force the users of updating their version because of this change.
Yes, just change the readme in the tagged directory that is marked as stable.
Afaik: No. We’re all suffering from the wp.org plugin repo limitations…
Edit: This answer is plain wrong.
