v1.5.0

[sillydan1]

Graphedit version v1.5.0 Release 🎉

Welcome to Graphedit! This is a tool for creating and manipulating vertex-edge graph based syntaxes.
This release brings improvements to the plugin infrastructure as well as a LUA scripting engine, so you can customize your editor experience and even write full plugins in lua.
Simply add a file called init.lua in the graphedit configuration directory (see below) and start scripting! See the official lua-types repository for details on what is possible.
We encourage you to implement a simple plugin 🥇 perhaps one that greets the user on startup using the Toast api?
If you want to create a java based plugin, take a look at the plugin github template to get a head start!

Most Important Changes

• Lua plugin ✨
  You can now write plugins, customize the keyboard shortcuts and much more using the Lua programming language.
• A Centralized Plugin repository and a way to download them from inside the editor
  If you write a java plugin, you can submit releases to the plugin database and the "Plugin" view will display it for all other Graphedit users available for download!
• Undo Tree Visualizer
  A new side-panel has popped up. You can now explore and discover your session history as an undo-tree datastructure!
• Many bug fixes and internal improvements

Where To Put init.lua

• Windows: %APPDATA%/graphedit/lua/init.lua
• Linux: ~/.local/graphedit/lua/init.lua
• MacOs: ~/Library/Application Support/Graphedit/lua/init.lua
