Follow the Backstage releases

[ghost]

Hi,

the plugin has not been updated since Oct 6th. This is a problem with Backstage being released weekly, the dependencies are conflicting.

Do you have any plans to release weekly, and keep compatibility with Backstage?

The Backstage release timeline and policy can be found here https://backstage.io/docs/overview/versioning-policy

By not following the Backstage cadence, this is causing issues such as #90

Bumping this - looks like since last update, there are some pinned core package versions which is causing

[0] ⚠️   Some of the following packages may be outdated or have duplicate installations:
[0]
[0]           @backstage/backend-app-api, @backstage/backend-common, @backstage/backend-plugin-api, @backstage/catalog-model, @backstage/core-components, @backstage/core-plugin-api, @backstage/plugin-catalog-react, @backstage/plugin-permission-common
[0]
[0] ⚠️   This can be resolved using the following command:
[0]
[0]           yarn backstage-cli versions:check --fix

for newer Backstage instances.

Nothing is explicitly broken yet, but still would be nice to have up to date packages given that Backstage is now on v1.11.1

@aarlaud bumping this^^

Any insight or plans to update dependencies?

I'm also wondering if there's a need to pin to specific patch versions given most other backstage plugins use a semantic version range for their dependencies instead. Of all our backstage plugins, backstage-plugin-snyk is the one that consistently pulls in some really outdated versions (e.g. [email protected] is pinned to @backstage/[email protected] which is 7 months old).
