[orion-dev] (Action required) please reinstall any plugins you got from

[Mark Macdonald <mamacdon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Recently GitHub changed their page hosting from *.github.com to *.github.io. This impacts any plugins installed from the Orion sample plugin catalog, which was hosted on github.com.

Any plugins you installed from the catalog will be nonfunctional due to the URL change. You can check if this is happening by loading some Orion pages and watching the _javascript_ console in your browser. If you see a message like this, your plugin will probably be broken:

Unable to post message to http://mamacdon.github.com. Recipient has origin http://mamacdon.github.io.

Workaround:
Go to the Orion Settings page, and uninstall any plugins whose URLs have github.com. Then reinstall them by visiting mamacdon.github.io and using the URLs there.

This issue only affects previously installed plugins. I just updated the plugin catalo to generate github.io URLs, so any plugins you install from this point onward should work normally.

I've entered a bug against the Orion plugin registry regarding the handling of redirects: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=405186
