Addon Manager v1.0.0
Notice:
If you have addons installed currently or if you have an older version of this application (v0.4.5 or older), I would strongly advise deleting your /bin/ or /bin64/ folder and launching the game to make a clean one before installing this application (this update has a lot of backend changes that completely change the way plugins are loaded into the game). It might be a good idea to delete any .dll files in the /addons/ folder or its subfolders before installing as well.

General Questions/Feedback
For general questions that aren't answered on the wiki or to give detailed feedback, you can also contact me on discord at Admiralnerf#9647. It's best to join the GW2 Development Discord first so that we have a server in common, as otherwise Discord automatically blocks Direct Messages from strangers.
