Plugins was enhanced in the following ways:

1) Administrators can now configure plugins on-line. Navigate to the Plugin Manager and click on any of the plugins to see extended information and configuration details.

2) A new plugin_info call-out was added to allow plugins to expose extended information that will be visible in the Plugin Manger. For example:

function recaptcha_info() {
   return array('name' => 'Recaptcha',
                'desc' => 'This plugin will ...',
                'version' => '1.0');
}

3) A new plugin_config call-out was added to allow plugins to define their configuration settings:

function recaptcha_config() {
...

Don't know if I'm missing something but when I put in the function for the info it doesn't pull the info over to the plugin section.

For example in the megavideo plugin I've got (ignore the youtube bit it was just a cut and paste to test)

function megavideo_tag_info() {
	return array('name' => 'Youtube Video',
	             'desc' => 'Allow forum users to use a spacial [youtube] BBcode tag for embedding videos into forum posts.',
				 'version' => '1.1');
}

But when I view the plugin info on the forum all I see is
