I haven't had a chance to look at the debugger yet but the first thing I thought when I read about was, is this a backdoor that can be used to defeat the .rbs encrypted rubies? Does the debugger reveal anything about the current line of execution, or does it just deliver line numbers? When displaying data about a variable, does it volunteer variable names or does it just respond with a value?

I would be very disappointed to find out it did.

Thanks! Look forward to that day (I hate COM).

Just to make sure I haven't missed anything, the SLAPI can't be used to access the model data in an active SketchUp session the way the old COM API can, correct? Still just file read and write? (I know the preferred route is Ruby, of course, but the COM API is magnitudes faster)

(Sorry to butt in on your thread tomasz )

however, those that are made as proper 'Extensions' offer the user the ability to switch the tools on and off via Preferences...

But this isn't new, right? This has been available for a long time...

Further, there are new hooks in the API that allow folks who want to build more customized "Plugin Managers" the things they'll need to do so.

Are these new "hooks" published somewhere? Have the API docs been updated?

The release docs list the zip stuff separately from the "API hooks". And the zip integration wouldn't be have anything to do with the API anyway. I think they must be talking about something different, at least it certainly sounds like it to me.

The release notes for M2 state this:

"Ruby plugin hooks: In addition to the above functionality, we have added several API hooks to allow Developers to more easily write their own Ruby extension managers."

I haven't been able to find any info about this on the sketchup blogs, here at sketchucation, the API docs, or anywhere. Does anyone know what this new functionality is?

Maybe the view just isn't refreshing on each iteration? Try adding a view.invalidate of view.refresh before each sleep.

A 64 GB solid-state harddrive? That's cool!

Straight KT, no post-pro. Kind of looks like a spider-man comic.
