Hello,
I am receiving the first patches to make tagadelic ready for 5. However, till today, I managed to keep tagadelic HEAD running very fine on 4.7. It got loads of nice features, improved code, and revised, more modular APIs. branch 4.7 tagadelic, and HEAD tagadelic are not compatible, so if I simply overwrite the 4.7 branch with tagadelic HEAD I will break a lot of people's sites.
the usual way to manage this in 4.7 and beyond is with hook_update() functions in your .install file. sometimes updates need some explaining, which i do in the commit message and in the readme file. you could also conceivably do a form_alter() on the update page in order to communicate stuff or gather settings.
