Translations:Std AddonMgr/43/en


 * 1) The Addon manager provides two view layouts: "Condensed" and "Expanded". In "Condensed" view, each addon takes a single line, and its description is truncated to fit the available space. "Expanded" shows additional details, including more of the description text as well as maintainer information, more installation details, etc.
 * 2) Three different types of addons are supported: workbenches, macros, and preference packs. You can choose to show just one type, or all of them in a single list.
 * 3) The list can be limited to show just installed packages, just packages with available updates, or just packages that are not yet installed.
 * 4) The list can be filtered, searching for a keyword in the title, description, and tags (description and tags must be specified by the addon developer in their addon's metadata). The filter can even be a regular expression, for fine-grained control of the exact search term.
 * 5) The expanded view shows available version information, description, maintainer information, and installation version information, for packages that provide a package metadata file (or for macros with embedded metadata).
 * 6) Addon data is cached locally, with a variable cache update frequency set in the user preferences.
 * 7) At any time you can choose to manually update your local cache to see the latest updates available for each addon.
 * 8) Update checks may be set up to be automatic, or done manually via a button click (configured in user preferences). If GitPython and git are installed on your system then update information is fetched using git. If not, then update information is obtained from any present metadata file.
