Undo - Redo interface was moved to MinoriEditorShell.History -- This is currently un-tested and no nuget yet.
-
IMesManager renamed to IMesDocumentManager to clarify what the manager does, manages documents/persistant documents and tools.

What does it do
MinoriEditorShell allows you to build your WPF application by composing separate modules. This provides a nice way of separating out the code for each part of your application.

Acknowledgements
- Many of the original ideas, and much of the early code came from Tim Jones, creator of the Gemini framework. I have extended and modified his code to integrate better with MvvmCore, and AvalonDock 2.0, which natively supports MVVM-style binding.
MinoriEditorShell is not the only WPF framework for building IDE-like applications. Here are some others:
- Gemini - Basis of this project
- SoapBox Core - source here, but I think this project might be dead.
- Wide - looks promising, and has a CodeProject article.
- Wider - Based on project wide with update Prism and Fluent.Ribbon
