  * resolution:  => fixed


Comment:

 Note that not all plugins have all sections.

 That said, the following new (or fixed) things can now be returned by the
 API.

 {{{
 'author_profile' => profile_URL,
 'contributors' => array( username => profile_URL, ... ),
 'short_description' => short_description,
 'sections' => array( section_name => section_text, ... ),
 'description' => description_section_text
 }}}

 Available sections are "description", "installation", "faq",
 "screenshots",  and "other_notes" (assuming the plugin has them).

 You can ask for all three of {{{short_description}}}, {{{sections}}}, and
 {{{description}}}.  {{{sections['description']}}} will always be the same
 as {{{description}}}.  {{{short_description}}} and {{{description}}} will
 sometimes be the same.  {{{short_description}}} may also simply be a
 truncated version of {{{description}}}.
