<p class="p">As of release 2.1.8 there is a plugin manager. It's available as
feature extension. Once acticated (after a restart) it brings up a
new <span class="key"><kbd>📦 Add</kbd></span> tab in the configuration window.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="media"><span class="media media-image"><img src="img/pluginmanager2.png" class="media media-inline" alt="Install dialog for user plugins"></span></span></p>
<p class="p">You can scan for available/new plugins there. And have them
downloaded right away. New plugins are just downloaded, not
implictly enabled. Reopen the config dialog to see them in the
regular lists.</p>

<p class="p">Alternative download repositories may be configured. (Little
practical value at the moment and foreseeable future.)</p>
<p class="p">And you can let the plugin manager handle regular plugins as
well. After reconfiguring existing channel plugins, they get
automatically run, or disabled in the user interface (without
any restart). Which won't work for most feature/core plugins.</p>
