libpeas 0.5 - plugins for everyone

Written for libpeas by Łukasz Jernaś on 2010-06-07

Hi all,

I am very proud to announce today the first release of libpeas - the plugin engine from gedit, enhanced - in its version 0.5.0.

libpeas is the next evolution of the Gedit plugins engine, and is targetted at giving every application the chance to assume its own extensibility. It also has a set of enhanced features with regard to what Gedit used to provide, mirroring the desiderata of your favourite text editor's developpers:
 - multiple extension points
 - on demand (lazy) programming language support for C, Python and JS
 - simplicity of the API

More details can be found on the announcement blog post here:

Cheers,
Steve Frécinaux
