Engines

• Now using the modern C# compiler Roslyn. pyRevit runtime now compiles itself on this new compiler, and all the pyRevit C# bundles can now use the C# v8 version of the language (previously the max version was v5). An example of a new language feature is the interpolated strings e.g. $"UserName={username}" or lambda methods e.g. void GetResponse() => 42;

• Fixed issue with missing ending forward slash on telemetry urls is Settings window

API

• Other misc updates

pyRevit CLI v4.8-beta

CLI version now matches the pyRevit version. Last CLI version was 0.25 and this one is 4.8. This makes it easier for me to detect pyRevit versions from env reports. It was also confusing for the users why there are two version numbers associated with pyRevit and the CLI. This makes updating the cli a bit harder since it needs to match pyRevit version but CLI gets updated less that pyRevit itself usually.

• Added Support for Revit 2021
• New pyRevit Routes HTTP API Micro-Framework.
  • See Documentation
