Hakan SevenandClaude Opus 5.5 443b935a3f chore: bump codec d28fd71, kernel a03e4f0, graph 79bdc4b
Codec: PRs #71-#74 merged (MPOLYGON layout, multiline ATTDEF/ATTRIB DXF,
DXF MATERIAL/ACSH matrix, restorable SAT/SAB + history roots) and issues
#55 #64-#69 fixed. EntityType now boxes Surface, Extended, Table,
MultiLeader and Helix (2344 B -> 848 B per entity): construction sites
wrap in Box, the entity traits forward through Box, and the python
plugin generator converts with into(). Kernel: PR #70 (cuboid ring
winding).

Plugin registry

registry.json is the curated list of third-party plugins Open CAD Studio offers in its Plugin Manager → marketplace. The app fetches it from this repo's main branch at runtime, so adding an entry makes a plugin discoverable to every user without an app update.

Add your plugin

Open a pull request adding one object to the array in registry.json:

{
  "repo": "your-account/your-plugin-repo",
  "name": "Human-readable name",
  "description": "One line describing what it does."
}

Requirements for the linked repo:

  • Builds a cdylib against ocs_plugin_api and exports the host symbols via ocs_plugin_api::export_plugin!.
  • Publishes per-platform binaries plus plugin.toml as GitHub Release assets (see opencad-example-plugin and its release workflow for a template). Asset names carry the platform, e.g. your.plugin-linux-x86_64.so, …-windows-x86_64.dll, …-macos-aarch64.dylib.
  • plugin.toml declares an api_version compatible with the host (3 or newer). From API 4 on it must also carry the rustc_version and acadrust_source the library was built with; the host loads it only when both match its own build.

The host reads the release matching the user's platform, checks the API version, and installs it into the user's plugins folder.

Listing is curation, not endorsement or a security review. Installing a plugin runs its native code; users install at their own risk.
