- Integrated plugin downloader/installer. It accepts POST requests at /browser/install_plugin, containing an artifact (basically an author/repo string like you'd find on github), and a release version, then fetches the zip file from the repo releases and unzips it inside the plugin dir, after asking for user confirmation (pop-up message in the plugin menu). - Injector get_tab method. Basically get_tabs with the usual search for a specific tab. Decided to implement this because it was needed again and again, and we kept pasting the same list search one-liner. - Utilities now have access to the main PluginManager class
