One thing I could ask for is a reference in the docs to where I can find the correspondence between api and abi. Maybe thats the wrong question, but anyway, how do i know which abi version I need? This is in regards to PLUGIN_VERSION_CHECK(xxx)
As mentioned in other replies, there's the wiki page that maps API, ABI and other versions into a simple table.
IMO, plugin authors shouldn't have to bother with ABI numbers at all and API numbers should be transparent. If I want to write a plugin, I would like to have some boilerplate like:
#include <geanyplugins.h> GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER(1, 24, 0, /* min supported geany version */ "Hello World", "0.01", "Another hello world", "You <you@yourdomain.org>"); void plugin_load(GeanyPlugin *plugin) { g_print("Loading plugin '%s'...\n", geany_plugin_get_name(plugin)); } void plugin_unload(GeanyPlugin *plugin) { g_print("Unloading plugin '%s'...\n", geany_plugin_get_name(plugin)); }Well... Not sure whether it's really better than the current approach but patches are welcome ;)
Compared to current approach:
#include <geanyplugin.h> GeanyFunctions *geany_functions; // WTF is this? GeanyPlugin *geany_plugin; // Why is this global? GeanyData *geany_data; // WTF? GEANY_VERSION_CHECK(211 /* WTF!? What is this!? */) /* semi-colon? */ GEANY_SET_INFO("Hello World", _("0.01"), /* What stuff to translate? */ "Another hello world", "You <you@yourdomain.org>"); void plugin_init(GeanyData *data /* WTF!? isn't this the globalGeanyData? */ { /* If you use any custom GObjects, you must register them and then you must call the Geany version of the make_resident() function from GModule. */ }
void plugin_cleanup(void /* WTF!? Why not GeanyData orGeanyPlugin? */) { /* free nasty globals here */ }

Sorry, but I didn't understand exactly what you were attempting to demonstrate in your example. Please take pity on an admitted moron here and expand a bit on what is going on in the example.
Main questions: where does the magic number 211 come from? GEANY_VERSION_CHECK(211...) Lex says we're supposed to use API numbers, like 0.19. Please, as a demo, convert that to an int. When I try, I get zero. But, like I said, I'm a moron. in plugin_init you have this WTF comment, but do not answer the question. Is the param the same as the global? Param == global: true or false? in plugin_cleanup yes, I clean my dishes. As long as I can find the sink.
