If you write plugins that have server-side code that interacts with the Elasticsearch client and/or core plugin, we've made some changes to the internal plugin API that will require some modifications to your plugin to work with Kibana 5.2.0 onward. The changes are relatively straightforward, and are documented in the following blog post: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-plugin-developers-meet-elasticsearch-clusters](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-plugin-developers-meet-elasticsearch-clusters)
