The addon system will now only process manifest files that have the same name as the folder they are in. If your addon is in a folder name MyFolder, then the addon will only load MyFolder.txt as a manifest. It will no longer try to load files like ReadMe.txt. Additionally, all paths in the manifest file will now be relative to the location the manifest file is in, not AddOns/<AddOnName>. This should be more intuitive and also supports moving addons into subfolders. This is important because the addon system will now scan two levels deep into the folders in the AddOns directory looking for manifest files. This means you can put addons within folders or folders of folders and they will still load. In the future, look for more changes that build on these to allow better handling of libraries.

I tried the following structure, but the addon "HarvestMapAD" does not appear in the addon list:
/pts/AddOns/HarvestMap/HarvestMapAD/HarvestMapAD.txt

ESO does detect "HarvestMap" as defined in the txt:
/pts/AddOns/HarvestMap/HarvestMap.txt
but when I move the txt to
/pts/AddOns/HarvestMap/HarvestMap/HarvestMap.txt
The addon is no longer listed in the addon list. It seems ESO does not support moving addons into subfolders unlike stated in the addon patch notes.
