As always, thank you very much for continued support.

General
I'm currently focusing on housekeeping and refactoring needed for theme/extensions auto-update support. This requires major changes to the code base.
This includes split of all built-in plugins (library integrations and IGDB support) into separate repository. The main advantage for end users is that I will be able to publish updates for these extension without need to release new Playnite update. You'll receive bug fixes and new feature for built-in integrations in the same way they will be distributed for 3rd party extensions.
Add-on browser and updates
Add-ons (extensions and themes) can be now installed and updated directly from Playnite. There's now a new dialog you can use to search existing add-ons, manage installed ones or update to new versions.
Sidebar improvements
Extensions can now provide custom items to the Sidebar. They can also show progress status on a sidebar button (for example for long running background tasks).
You can now also choose to display individual items from Software Tools on Sidebar.

Thank you for support!
Hi everyone, I've started supporting this project now on Patreon after having found it by accident on the Web one week ago...I just love it! I've been using it so far on my barebone PC in my living-room in fullscreen mode mainly to replace Steam Big Picture mode so similar to other comments I would love to see more features in fullscreen mode but already the current version 8 is amazing. Please keep up the good work!
Also, it would be amazing if in future you give us some cloud saves method. Saves for playnite database, not for games.
Waiting for more fullscreen functionality 😎 But every update is a small miracle 🤗
