  # Usagi [1.0](https://github.com/UsagiApp/Usagi/releases/tag/v1.0) (Manju) **This is Usagi 1.0, our fifth stable version with codename: Manju. *It's not just a fork. It's even better than you think.*** # Summary After a long period of testing and refinement, we are officially introducing Usagi 1.0, with our internal codename **Manju**. This stable release focuses entirely on changes regarding content access via plugins / extensions, completely removing the old or obsolete access methods found in the legacy codebase. Thanks to [TsukiMix](https://github.com/UsagiApp/TsukiMix) - an Android library we designed specifically for this project, Usagi now supports external plugins / extensions (third-party), ensuring virtually absolute compatibility and flexibility.
