NO NEED TO DO YET

• Support plugins maintained by package managers
• Update to wxWidgets 3.2.2 - Dave says no need to until v5.10
• Move from API 117 to API118 with v5.10 not necessary, but desireable See Jon's directions for moving to 118

[rgleason]

5.10 is here, should we be doing these?

• Update to wxWidgets 3.2.2 - Dave says no need to until v5.10
• Upgrade to API 118 for OpenCPN 5.10
  • Change 1.17 to 1.18 in CMakeLists.txt
  • Change 117 to 118 in [plugin_pi.cpp] around line 91
• Move from API 117 to API118 with v5.10 not necessary, but desireable Give us improved version numbering. Need to change some code in each plugin.

Upgrading testplugin to 118 in version 1.0.308.0. This will require two changes in the CMakeLists.txt file

• Change the line set(OCPN_API_VERSION_MINOR "17") to set(OCPN_API_VERSION_MINOR "18")
• Change the line add_subdirectory(opencpn-libs/api-17) to add_subdirectory(opencpn-libs/api-18)

Then the main cpp file will need to be based on 118
change

testplugin_pi::testplugin_pi(void *ppimgr)
:opencpn_plugin_117(ppimgr)

to

testplugin_pi::testplugin_pi(void *ppimgr)
:opencpn_plugin_118(ppimgr)

and in the header file change class testplugin_pi : public opencpn_plugin_117 to `class testplugin_pi : public opencpn_plugin_118'

These should reflect the plugin name not testplugin.

That is a great help, Thank you Jon. I missed a couple of things (got the first and third changes).
What/where is the "header" file with the "class"

[jongough]

The plugin header, in FE2's case - testplugin_pi.h, so just look in the requisite header file for the plugin where it defines the plugin class.

[rgleason]

Thanks, found it here in your commits . I am rusty!
