Fixes #511: Bump min_version to NetBox 4.5.2#513
Merged
Conversation
v0.5.0 uses get_config_value_ci from utilities.data, which was added in NetBox 4.5.2. Update min_version and COMPATIBILITY.md to reflect the actual requirement rather than silently failing with an ImportError. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
min_versionfrom"4.4.0"to"4.5.2"inPluginConfigCOMPATIBILITY.mdto matchWhy
v0.5.0 imports
get_config_value_cifromutilities.data, a helper added in NetBox 4.5.2. On NetBox ≤ 4.5.1 this produces a crypticImportErrorat startup rather than the standard "incompatible plugin version" error. Correctingmin_versionlets NetBox surface the real problem cleanly.A compatibility shim was considered but rejected: v0.5.0 is a major release with substantial new features, NetBox 4.4.x has no active support, and shimming a 5-line internal utility sets a maintenance precedent for every future internal NetBox refactor.
