so sounds like it works the same as the old pre-AC12/C4D11 exchange plugin - the difference being the data structure in C4D.
Graphisoft/Maxon (i assume you are still paying some attention to THE forum for discussion of this plugin) .... can you let us know:

Those files also can be read by older versions of CINEMA 4D, but it might happen that some parts of a file can't be read by older versions, e.g. new features that were introduced in newer version. The other are internal CINEMA 4D routines, doing the actual update. Those routines could only be build into release R11. This is also the reason why the new update functionality only works with CINEMA 4D R11.027.
1. Why it is not possible to get this plugin to work for R10.5 users - there are a lot of them who see no need to upgrade to R11. You said earlier the C4D API change ('Melange') that prompted this issue had actually occured back in R10.5 and not R11 so what exactly is the problem again? Note the 'old' way still works for AC12/R10.5 as the great work by two of your users recently has shown.

2. Now you have the model exchange mostly sorted, why can you not give us a few options for how we want the AC data structured at the C4D end - e.g by Layer, Material, Element Type, etc .... flexibility! Icouldsee some use for the current structure IFyou planned on doing extensive modifications to the model in Cinema .. but for general rendering use the extremely deep data tree we get now is a complete PITA

I would like to know with some certainty that this ArchiCad/C4D connection will be supported and not dropped at some point. If that is the case I will probably continue rendering in Artlantis for now, but new (freeform) modeling would be done in C4D.

I downloaded the trial version of C4D and am unable to try out the connection with archicad because the trial is not the latest version. Is there a way?

If I remember right, it's possible to update the trial version too
