[gedit-list] ANNOUNCE: libpeas 0.5.2 - plugins for everyone

[Steve Frécinaux <nudrema gmail com>]

Hi all,

I am very proud to announce today a new release of libpeas - the 
gobject-based plugin engine, used by totem and gedit - in its latest 
version 0.5.3.

libpeas is a gobject-based plugins engine, and is targetted at giving 
every application the chance to assume its own extensibility. It also 
has a set of features including, but not limited to:

 - 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:
