! Major Improvements

!!  Dynamic Plugin Loading

Plugins [[can now|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4259]] be loaded or deleted dynamically, without requiring a reload -- as long as they don't contain any ~JavaScript modules. Plugins that require a reload are indicated in the plugin chooser in [[$:/ControlPanel]].

The [[plugin listing|$:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Plugins]] and the [[plugin chooser|$:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Modals/AddPlugins]] in the control panel feature several improvements:

* The plugin chooser now displays plugins that provide add-on functionality to another plugin as nested "sub-plugins", making the main listing easier to navigate

* All plugins now feature a concise, informal name (in addition to the description and title)
