---

**Expanded Plugin API** — New `definePlugin` helper introduces opt-in execution ordering, cross-plugin discovery via a slug-keyed `plugins` map, and module augmentation for type-safe plugin options. The existing `(config) => config` contract remains unchanged. [#16247](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/16247)

```ts
import { definePlugin } from 'payload'

export const seoPlugin = definePlugin<SEOPluginOptions>({
  slug: 'plugin-seo',
  order: 10,
  plugin: ({ config, plugins, collections, generateTitle }) => ({
    ...config,
    // collections and generateTitle come from SEOPluginOptions
  }),
})
```

**Profiling Utilities** — Lightweight `timeSync` and `timeAsync` wrappers for measuring function execution time during development. Wrap any function to capture its duration, then call `printProfileResults` for a formatted timing table. Not intended for production use. [#16198](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/16198)

**Internal Plugin Priority & Slug API** — Plugins can now attach `priority`, `slug`, and `options` properties for execution ordering and cross-plugin discovery. Lower priority runs first; other plugins can find each other by slug via `config.plugins` without imports. Marked `@internal` for now. [#16244](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/16244)

**Hidden Slug Field Buttons on Read-Only** — The Generate and Lock/Unlock buttons on slug fields are now automatically hidden when the field is read-only, removing controls that serve no purpose in that state. [#14824](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/14
