Plus 3.10 API by RaceProUK on 08-26-2004 at 10:00 PM

Maybe this is better somewhere else?

Anyway, will there be anything new in the API with Plus 3.10? If so, would it be possible for me to get a copy, say, a couple of days before the release? A lot to ask I know to be honest. I'd just like to make sure I can update all my plugins ASAP when the next version comes out.

Well, even if Patchou gives us the new plugin interface's documentation (if there's any), you won't have Plus! 3.10 to test (unless you are an official tester/translator), right? :)

Incidentally...
To be honest, every plugin developer has his/her own wishing list indeed; for example, I, with a view to improving of Hopper, want Patchou to include display name changer. If Patchou adds every plugin developer's request, the whole plugin interface may get instable, insecure..etc (well I don't really know if this'll happen though).

Why don't we have a nomination and then have a vote? :gfdrin:

What new plugin interface functions do you want Patchou to bring in the next version :gfdrin:

Actually there is one idea: event support. I have looked at the code needed for event support in C++ for Messenger, and I can't get my head round it. If Plus exposed an easier method of doing it, then mor epeople (including me) would write plugins that use the Messenger API.

Hope that's understandable.

well, you can do that 2 days after the release day, that won't hurt. Besides, the current plugings that work with plus 3, will work also with 3.10; so your plugins will be updated when plus 3.10 is released (i mean: in case patchou changes the api, he'd only include new "features". Current ones will be the same)

I agree, however the evet support could be done with exported functions, like parsecommand and similar ones; no need for a complex api interface

That's sort of what I was thinking. Actually, it's better than what i was thinking of.
