## AI overview

A commentary on el-get reaching version 1.0 and its recipe-based approach to finding, fetching, initializing, and using Emacs Lisp extensions. It compares el-get with ELPA and explains why users may choose it for extensions outside the official archive.

## Source excerpt

It's been a week since the last commits in the el-get repository, and those were all about fixing and adding recipes, and about notifications. Nothing like core plumbing you see. Also, 0.9 was released on 2010-08-24 and felt pretty complete already, then received lots of improvements. It's high time to cross the line and call it 1.0! Now existing users will certainly just be moderatly happy to see the tool reach that version number, depending whether they think more about the bugs they want to see fixed (ftp is supported, only called http) and the new features they want to see in ( info documentation) or more about what el-get does for them already today...
