plugin system

[vfreex]

Is there any proposal on implementing a plugin system?

If so, we are able to integrate obfs, tunneling protocols (like KCP), and other extensions without violating the KISS principle.

Thanks.
It seems to me that the planed plugin system works more like a tunnel. It just help you start multiple processes in a command.

I am more interested in defining hooks in shadowsocks' source code so that developers can write shared libraries that will be loaded at runtime. That will give developers much more flexibility.

Create forks and make changes there instead for now.

@vfreex Do bear in mind that there are other implementations of shadowsocks. It would be much simpler for plugin developers to write their plugins (or tunnel services) with almost no restrictions (any programming languages, any licenses)
