what are those new plugin stuff? im upgrading now

[Andreas]

It's now possible to create XMLs that contain Plugins, Phrases, Settings and Templates - as well as running Install/Uninstall Code (for Queries, etc.)
Also a Product can be disabled/uninstalled at once, so you don't have to deactivate/delete every single Plugin.

Furthermore, there are Hooks in certain ACP areas now, which will cut down the need for File Edits

[Logikos]

See Jelsoft really does love the hacking community!

Do we need to upgrade our 3.5 RC1 with this then? If so, just replace the files or run an upgrade script, too?

sounds great
but will the major hacks support the plugin system?
are there really no file edits necessary any more?
