It fixes some bugs and adds these new features. * Configuration Dialog o Extended the interface to allow to open a configuration dialog with externally defined entries (e.g. by plugin tools). * MicroPython o Updated the list of known CircuitPython boards. o Updated the list of known RP2 boards. o Updated the list of known UF2 capable boards. * Plugin Manager o Extended the plugin installation to allow plugins to install scripts in a `Scripts` subdirectory. o Added an interface to allow plugins to add menu entries to the tray starter menu. * Tray Starter o Extended the tray starter app to be able to be extended through scripts installed by plugins. These are added to a `Plugin Tools` submenu of the default menu. Otherwise they are available in the list of available entries of the tray starter menu editor dialog (see below). o Rearranged the tray starter menu to contain the tools in submenus. o Added an editor dialog to modify the central (variable) part of the tray starter menu. o Added an entry to the Tray Starter configuration page to create an `Autostart` (Linux platforms) or `Startup` (Windows platforms) entry. * eric Plug-in Wizard o Extended the wizard to support the extended PluginManager API. It is available via the eric web site or PyPI. https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/index.html https://pypi.org/project/eric-ide/ Regards, Detlev -- Detlev Offenbach detlev at die-offenbachs.de -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
