This release adds several new features that make it easier to create addins, including code completion for manifests.
Update from the MD/XS Addin Manager, or view the source on GitHub.
Release Notes
- Addin manifest files now have code completion. There is completion for all elements and attributes except node sets, conditions, and extension points declared in the same addin.
- File templates are now provided for file and project templates, though they must still be registered manually in the manifest.
- Some very simple code completion for file/project templates is now provided.
- A new
AddinFile
build action is now available. File with this build action are automatically copied to the output folder and transparently included in theRuntime
manifest section. - A
MD_X
define is now provided, whereX
is theCompatVersion
of the MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio against which it is built. For example, for 5.x releases this isMD_5_0
- The addin now sets the
MDAddinsDir
,MDConfigDir
, andMDBinDir
MSBuild properties on the build host so that the addin will target the MonoDevelop instance that is used to build it (currently only works on 6.0+).
