Hello Pythonistas,

I just uploaded eric 26.8. It fixes some bugs and adds these new features.

  * Configuration Dialog
      o Extended the interface to allow to open a configuration dialog
        with externally defined entries (e.g. by plugin tools).
  * MicroPython
      o Updated the list of known CircuitPython boards.
      o Updated the list of known RP2 boards.
      o Updated the list of known UF2 capable boards.
  * Plugin Manager
      o Extended the plugin installation to allow plugins to install
        scripts in a `Scripts` subdirectory.
      o Added an interface to allow plugins to add menu entries to the
        tray starter menu.
  * Tray Starter
      o Extended the tray starter app to be able to be extended through
        scripts installed by plugins. These are added to a `Plugin
        Tools` submenu of the default menu. Otherwise they are available
        in the list of available entries of the tray starter menu editor
        dialog (see below).
      o Rearranged the tray starter menu to contain the tools in submenus.
      o Added an editor dialog to modify the central (variable) part of
        the tray starter menu.
      o Added an entry to the Tray Starter configuration page to create
        an `Autostart` (Linux platforms) or `Startup` (Windows
        platforms) entry.
  * eric Plug-in Wizard
      o Extended the wizard to support the extended PluginManager API.

It is available via the eric web site or PyPI.
