Conversation
The previous Compatibility list mentioned Moodle 3.9 / 3.11 / 4.1, which contradicts version.php (requires 2023042400, i.e. Moodle 4.2). Some installers (e.g. on Moodle 4.5.5) push back during deployment because their branch is not listed. Rewrite the section as a clear supported range from Moodle 4.2 up to the current 5.2.x stable, with a row per branch (including LTS 4.5.x). Also make explicit that the plugin can run in either of two editing modes (embedded / integrated, or eXeLearning Online remote server), since the intro only mentioned the online mode. Add a Requirements section, a Support/Issues link, and update the copyright year range to 2023-2026. No functional changes.
…8 hint The plugin default for the `editormode` setting is `online` (`settings.php`), so the README should list eXeLearning Online as the default. Embedded is only forced as default in the Moodle Playground blueprint for demo purposes. Also drop the "(ws28 or higher)" parenthetical, since the exact server version is a deployment detail that does not belong in the README.

Summary
version.php:$plugin->requires = 2023042400) up to the latest 5.2.x stable, with one row per branch including the 4.5.x LTS used by many institutional deployments. The previous list (3.9, 3.11, 4.1) contradictedversion.phpand was causing pushback from installers — e.g. on Canarias' Moodle 4.5.5 sites — because their branch was not listed.settings.phpwhereeditormodedefaults to'online'.Until now the README only mentioned the online mode and the wording "You need the eXeLearning online version installed (ws28 or higher)" gave the impression that an external eXeLearning Online server was the only way to run the plugin.
