- The Loader now watches for file changes in the plugin directory, and will (re)import when a new plugin is created, or an existing one is modified. This is implemented by means of the watchdog library - Plugin classes are now instantiated (and therefore require a self arg in every method). This way they can maintain a state during the runtime of the loader (or until they are reloaded), and share data between methods. - Plugins can now have a __main() method, which can include long-running code. Every plugin's main method is ran in a separate asyncio task. - Plugin methods that start from __ are now uncallable from javascript. This can be helpful when implementing unfinished/development versions of methods.
