What is stevedore?
==================
Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure
and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions
("*plugins*") at runtime. Many applications implement their own
library for doing this, using ``__import__`` or
``importlib``. stevedore_ avoids creating yet another extension
mechanism by building on top of `setuptools entry points`_. The code
for managing entry points tends to be repetitive, though, so stevedore
provides manager classes for implementing common patterns for using
dynamically loaded extensions.

.. _setuptools entry points: https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html#convenience-api
What's New?
===========
- Provide an option to control requirements checking when loading
plugins, and disable it by default. This removes protection against
loading the wrong version of a plugin, or that plugin's
dependencies.
