Working on NovaMC 1.1.0

Work has already gone underway for the next version of NovaMC (1.1.0)

In fact, the code base is done and all that is needed now is regression testing. The main new feature this version brings is plugin support. The modules of NovaMC have been abstracted out to plugins and placed as dll's in a plugins directory. If you wanted to not see the Television option in the main menu, all you'd have to do is remove TVPlugin.dll from the plugins folder. Likewise, adding plugins will give you more options. Right now, work is underway for an RSS News Reader plugin, and after that perhaps a web comic plugin.

Version 1.1.0 is due out within the month.
