At the OU, we will need the 2.6-compatible code at the start of February, so that is the worst-case scenario, and that is too late for you, but I should do much better than that.
If you can, test the 2.5 version (or the latest version from git) in 2.6, and let me know if it works. It probably does.

I found that all images are rescaled to ~290 wide, which could be too small. Is there an administrative setting to change the default image size ?.

Is there a workaround for this plugin to work with duplicate images? For example I want the students to drag and drop some images into a crossword image but some of the characters repeat (as you would expect in a crossword puzzle) but I am struggling to make this work because If I put them all in the right place, if someone has three "R"s and puts one of them in the "wrong" box it will pick it up as incorrect although it is just another "R". Any ideas for the workaround with a crossword puzzle?
Or wait until next week when (after many years of waiting) I'll have a public Moodle 2 that will demonstrate how things should work. Together with question examples that can be downloaded.

And: is it possible to have feedback for this sort of question?
-Derek
More detailed feedback is difficult. How would teachers set it up? If you think it is possible, I suggest you post your ideas in the quiz forum.
Here is our scenario: 16 students quite happy with practice quizzes in 2013 with no feedback ever. Lots of complaints from this year's lot.
Our contractor who does the questions answered each of the questions and screen snapped an image of the correctly dragged 'n' dropped result, and put the image in the feedback,
Success. Happy students. I'd have liked a button to click "Show solution" in the feedback. Would cost our budget a little less.

There is an option to show the correct placings of items the students have got wrong - but on the original image.
