=================
Plugin support for Profanity is currently in development at the `plugins` branch.
Plugin support for Profanity is currently in development.
Supported languages for writing plugins are C, Python, Ruby and Lua.
The `master` branch of Profanity now includes support for C plugins.
The `plugins-python` branch includes support for both C and Python plugins.
The `plugins` branch is unstable and includes support for C, Python, Ruby and Lua.
The plan is to merge `plugins-python` into `master` once a few issues have been resolved and then release `0.5.0` of Profanity.
Building Profanity with plugin support
--------------------------------------
`autoconf-archive`, `libtool` and the development packages for each supported langauge are required e.g.:

By default, support for each language is optional and will be attempted during `./configure`. To force support for a language, or disable support, the following flags may be used with `./configure`.
By default the build will look for required libraries and add plugin support if they are found. After building, run `profanity -v` to see which language support is available, example output:
```
--enable-c-plugins, --disable-c-plugins
--enable-python-plugins, --disable-python-plugins

Jenkins plugin

The jenkins plugin monitors builds at a jenkins server and notifies of build status changes, builds may be triggered, logs viewed, and jobs opened using the system's default browser.
