ANNOUNCE: libpeas 0.7.0 - plugins for Gnome apps

[Steve Frécinaux <code istique net>]

Hi all,

I am very proud to announce today a new release of libpeas - the 
gobject-based plugin engine, used by totem, gedit and vinagre - in its 
latest version 0.7.0.

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, very gobject-y

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

== Changes since last version ==

#
# Big API breaks for this release:
#  - new peas_engine_get_default() static method you should use
#  - peas-gtk widgets lost their engine construct property.
#  - straight use of gobject interfaces is now the preferred way
#    to use PeasExtensions, not peas_extension_call()
