I'm getting back into plugin development after a 3 year hiatus, and I'm wondering if the plugin registration mechanism has changed at all in MC14. Used to be, with a C++ plugin, you inserted some registry entries to make MC aware of your plugin. I know this kind of thing is deprecated in general now in favor of application data files. Registry editing, for one thing, it requires administrator privilege and drives Vista UAC nuts. Does MC14 change anything in this regard?

Thanks for any answers ...

There weren't any changes as far as I know for plugin registration.  I use a .reg file to register the plugin which just requires the user to double-click it and then you don't have to worry about privileges, etc.  I did run into some recent problems accessing settings/options for the plugin that I stored in the registry (there was some recent change with registry "redirection") so I switched to local file storage for the settings.
