Updating to 1.8.0 breaks gatsby 2.x compatibility

[Primajin]

This should either be made backwards compatible or it should be clearly stated as a breaking change and thus a major version bump would be in order 😕

[davideghz]

it would be handy a table with a compatibility map: what plugin version is compatible with Gatsby 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, ...

+1 too. We are on gatsby 4.24.7 and have the same issue installing packages due to the Gatsby 5.0.0 dependency. We are using v1.7.1 now

@davideghz I wish every Gatsby plugin had this. Upgrading a Gatsby 3.x site to even just 4.x has been a complete nightmare.

@mdreizin +1 for this issue. We are on Gatsby 3.14.6 and have the same issue installing packages due to the Gatsby 5.0.0 dependency.

We have the same issue. Gatsby 3.14.6 and Node 16v do not allow install packages. We can not downgrade not cuz it could break other packages.

Yes you cannot update a package from 1.7.1 to 1.8.0, which according to semver should be a non-breaking change, and so suddenly require gatsby 5. This is my case because I am using Gatsby 4.25.7 and 1.8.0 depends on gatsby 5 suddenly.
