Although many of you might have noticed, I just wanted to let people now about some new plugins under development.
In the C::B CVS tree, a new folder has been added: src/plugins/contrib.
In there you will find plugins that are maintained by their authors.
Currently we have three plugins in there:
Help pluginA plugin contributed and maintained by bourricot. It adds user-defined menu entries in the Help menu
and context keyword searching for the word under the caret (in the editor's popup menu). It works with .HLP and .CHM files for the moment.

DevPak installer/updater pluginThis plugin is contributed and maintained by me. It supports installing/updating Dev-C++ DevPaks. It can work in cached mode, meaning that no active internet connection is needed to browse the DevPaks database (assuming you have connected at least once, so it's cached).
I have made it fully compatible with PackMan.exe (from Dev-C++) so you can use either PackMan or the plugin. They both "see" the same database
And, of course, you have the ability to configure where the DevPaks will be installed, so you can point it to the Dev-C++ dir and when you install a DevPak in, say, Dev-C++, Code::Blocks is updated too and vice-versa
wxSmith - The RAD editor pluginContributed and maintained by byo. With so many threads/posts about it in this forum, you can't have missed it
