From the Google Chrome extension developers group:

Hello extension developers,

Yesterday, the Google Chrome extensions gallery was updated to a new
version.  Here are some of the visible changes:

1.) The “Most Popular” section on the landing page was renamed to
“Popular”.  This section will now feature a rotating random subset of
popular apps in the gallery.

2.) If your extension uses the i18n package, you can assign embedded
items (such as screenshots) to specific locales.  To test the gallery
in a different language add ?hl=<language code> to the end of a
gallery URL.  For example: https://chrome.google.com/extensions?hl=es

3.) If you try to upload an extension which requires NPAPI or file
access, you will now receive a notice that your extension will need to
be reviewed before it will go live in the gallery.

In particular, we’re very excited to improve internationalization
support of extensions in the gallery.  Developers who translate and
localize their extensions have a much wider audience of potential
users they can attract.  If you’re interested in how extensions can be
internationalized, please read our announcement blogpost:

Happy coding,
~Arne

 

I’m happy to announce my first Google Chrome extension: IRC to Mibbit.
This plugin makes Mibbit the default IRC handler by replacing the IRC uri’s (irc:// and ircs://) to http(s)://www.mibbit.com/#channel@irc.foo.bar
Since this is my first Google Chrome extension it might be possible that it contains bugs, of course I test it myself but couldn’t find any. So please if you have comments or if you did find a bug report it in the comments under this blogpost.

You can download the extension at the Google Chrome Extension Gallery
