Plugin version in plugin folder name it's bad distribution approach #258

Description

Hello guys, I've found that your plugins zip archives contains plugin version in plugin name like Magic-Fields-2-2.3.3.1, Magic-Fields-2-2.3.3 and so on.

This is a really bad approach:

  1. You can activate new plugin version if old is active during installation with error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare mf_load_plugin_textdomain() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/wordpress.tld/httpdocs/wp374/wp-content/plugins/Magic-Fields-2-2.3.3/main.php:92) in /var/www/vhosts/wordpress.tld/httpdocs/wp374/wp-content/plugins/Magic-Fields-2-2.3.3.1/main.php on line 92
  1. In case of both plugins version activating from wp-cli it brakes entire site.
  2. In case of security release, you have stay old vulnerable version on server.
