## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Dify 1.0.0. Source highlight: 🎉 Introducing Dify Plugins 🎉

## New Features
- We've developed a plugin system, a standard for Dify that lets users create plugins with the suffix .difypkg. By installing different plugin packages, you can add various capabilities to Dify.
- We've introduced a new Agent node in Workflow, where the agent's behavior can now be defined by plugins. This means Dify is no longer limited to built-in strategies like CoT; you can define your own agent strategies.
- We've also introduced a new type of plugin called Extension, which is a custom service hosted within Dify. You can customize this service's code through plugins to handle external Webhook events.
