Is it possible to develop visualization plugin for Kibana 4.5 now since the Kibana repo is now on 6. Is it okay to create a Kibana4 development environment now? or if there is any solution to develop plugin visualisation without using development mode? Thanks ---

Hi Vann, Could you explain more what you're looking for in terms of a solution to developing a plugin or visualization without using development mode? In terms of plugin development, we are still working towards officially providing support for plugin developers. But, currently, we don't provide this kind of support so while we don't discourage plugin development, we are also limited in our ability to _encourage_ it. Thanks, CJ ---
