PCC2 1.99.25 is out now.

This version adds a larger new feature: plugins. Until now, when you wanted to use a script or an artwork package, you had to edit files in your user profile. This is not exactly user-friendly. Therefore, PCC2 now allows such things to be packaged as a plugin.

In its simplest form, a plugin is a *.c2z file, which is a compressed file containing all files that make up the plugin and a description. If you're using the Windows version, you can install it by just opening (downloading, double-clicking) it, otherwise there's a command-line tool (c2plugin) for it.

You can obtain plugins from the PCC2 website, specifically http://phost.de/~stefan/plugins/.

More?

In addition, I cleaned up the TODO list, improving many little details. The most important one of these is that the host version is now detected exactly, making version-dependant features work reliably.

Bugfixes include the alliance manager, which generated invalid PHost commands so far.

I also cleaned up the website a little.
