 - From time to time you may want to allow other plugins access to (some of) your plugin's functionality. You can expose this by including a `functions` file in your plugin for others to source. Consider all functions in that file to be publicly accessible by other plugins. Any functions not wished to be made "public" should reside within your plugin trigger or commands files.
 - As of 0.4.0, we allow image tagging and deployment of said tagged images. Therefore, hard-coding of `$IMAGE` as `dokku/$APP` is no longer sufficient. Instead, for non `pre/post-build-*` plugins, use `get_running_image_tag()` & `get_app_image_name()` as sourced from common/functions. See the [plugin triggers](/dokku/development/plugin-triggers) doc for examples.
 - As of 0.5.0, we use container labels to help cleanup intermediate containers with `dokku cleanup`. If manually calling `docker run`, include `$DOKKU_GLOBAL_RUN_ARGS`. This will ensure you intermediate containers labeled correctly.
+- As of 0.6.0, we advise you to *not* call the dokku binary directly from within plugins. Clients using the `--app` argument are potentially broken, amongst other issues, when doing so. Instead, please source the `functions` file for a given plugin when attempting to call dokku internal functions
