From d58d765e616a3c622afa4875946b8653926367fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreu Botella Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 21:17:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Plugins are no longer an extensibility mechanism With Flash no longer being supported, it shouldn't be listed as an example of the use of plugins. Furthermore, since #6003 aims to remove any complexity around plugins except for that which is needed for PDF viewers, it is clear that plugins in general are no longer an extensibility mechanism. --- source | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/source b/source index 5d1022161f9..0fc58d2f3e3 100644 --- a/source +++ b/source @@ -413,9 +413,6 @@
