Not yet, unfortunaly.
[2] dynamic loading of plugins without re-compiling it from sources.
What do you understand with this?
Two possibilities: 1. I create a shared object and put it under plugins directory and it gets loaded the next geany is opened. 2. Still better, I write the plugins using scriting language such as python in a way geany expects and place it under plugins directory and the next time geany is opened, it loads the plugin.
The advantage of supporting a scripting language is the ease of development/contribution. Plugins being non-core components can afford the small overhead of slower execution I suppose.
Anyway, if thought useful, would like to request this as a feature for future support.
