Plugins are a powerful new feature of GList. They allow you to easily extend, enhance or alter the functionality of any aspect of GList. From your plugin manager, you can easily install new plugins, check out Gossamer Threads to view the latest plugins, or update existing ones, remove plugins that are no longer useful and even temporairly disable/enable installed plugins.

Included in every copy is also a powerful plugin authoring tool. It allows people with a little perl knowledge to easily create plugins, and also share them with the GList community instantly. Be sure to read the GList developers guide for more information on enhancing GList.
