The Wine – Command Registration
•The Revit API now offers the ability to register API applications via a .addin manifest file
•Multiple AddIn elements may be provided in a single manifest file
•Among many others, the new mechanism offers the following XML tags:
§Assembly
§ClientId
§Text
§Description
•The Revit.ini registration mechanism remains in place for the 2011 release but will be removed in the future
C:\Documents and Settings\walmslk\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\A9N3OQ34\MPj04005780000[1].jpg
The current INI mechanism will still remain in 2011. But we will be deprecating that in favor of a new command registration mechanism using the manifest file. This mechanism allows us to control a lot of the behavior of the external commands, application level behavior like regeneration that we talked about, etc. If you think this can still be improved, do let us know while you can continue using the INI file for your current projects in 2011.

Let us know if you have any suggestions around this too!
