No sbt-updates plugin for scala 2.13.x available #371

Hi,

I just wanted to add this plugin to a project.

But it seems sbt-updates is unavailable for scala 2.13.x, the latest scala 2 version.

Are there any plans to release a version for scala 2.13?

sbt 1 uses Scala 2.12 for all build definitions and plugins. (sbt 2 will use Scala 3.)

Your own code can use any version of Scala it wants — that's orthogonal.

(Did you attempt to add the plugin to your project and something went wrong? If so, we'll need to know what steps you followed and what symptoms resulted.)

I am not a scala expert, not even beginner, so I miss some details my sbt file says ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.12.18"

I was under the impression that this is what my program uses, Since I never installed any scala, just sbt. And if I update this to 2.13.12 some plugins could not be found. The error message says it's looking for a download with 2.13.x in the name.

I guess I missed some information that average scala developers have?

https://scala-lang.org/community and https://www.scala-sbt.org/community.html#how-can-I-get-help have suggestions on places to look for help on basics of sbt and Scala usage
