๐ New Pluggable Architecture
We've introduced a new pluggable architecture to make Continue more modular and extensible. Key features include:
- Core Plugin System: A robust plugin interface for extending functionality
- Modular Design: Each component (GUI, Binary, Extensions) is now a separate plugin
- Simplified Development: Easier to develop and test components in isolation
- Better Dependency Management: Improved dependency management with npm workspaces
