2.7 tool shelf add-ons in Blender 2.8?

I did not know that, so that is good information, thank you!

Precise align is still super essential to me, though, but I see that there might be more align options in this add-on, where the author still seems semi-active.

(I did actually want to add a setting to the Precise Align script, and began to look into how to do that, but also converting it to 2.8 is too big of a job for me, I think.)
