What's new

1.6.2

Everything new since 1.1.0. Recognition tuned on more than 13,000 real chat messages from TBC Anniversary and Hardcore.

Classic Era and Hardcore

  • PugBoard now runs on Classic Era and Hardcore (1.15.9) and detects the client on its own
  • Only content that exists there is shown: classic dungeons including The Stockade, classic raids and battlegrounds. Outland, heroics and arena are hidden
  • "HC" is read as Hardcore, not heroic, and "SP" means Shadow Priest
  • New PvP entry "Mak'gora" for duel challenges
  • New category "World buffs" under Other for Onyxia, Nefarian, ZG heart and Rend timings
  • Quest groups recognized from quest links, link-only posts and elite quest names like Hogger, Mor'Ladim or Morbent Fel
  • A named instance plus "LF", "looking for" or "anyone up for" is enough, even without a role: "LF ZF", "looking for Scholo run", "lf sfk heal", "a tank and go zf", "1 dps BRD"
  • Scarlet Monastery is recognized from "Scarlet", the Library, Armory and Graveyard wings
  • "SM Arms" is the Armory, "Graveyard" with a role is SM Graveyard
  • A bare "DM" is the Deadmines (Dire Maul stays DME, DMW, DMN, DMT), "arena" and "Emp" are Blackrock Depths
  • "Ony pre" goes to Quests & Zones instead of Onyxia's Lair
  • Rush requests with a tip or gold go to Boosts & Sales, a rush group without payment stays a normal group
  • Mage water and food requests, lockbox opening in any language and free summon spam go to Portals & Services
  • More typos: Deadminies, DFD, Startholme, shcolo, gnoemer, ecnahtner, "Beschwören der Prinzessin", "aren-golem-emp"
  • Many more summon and portal posts recognized ("WTS BB summ", "free portal after buff", "any sums?"), rend caps go to World buffs
  • Typos and short forms: Deathmines, Stokades, Stock, Gnome quest run, Mauro, Starth, Srat, Jed/Rend for UBRS, princess run
  • "LFM ZF, full group with WB" stays a group instead of a world buff post
  • More classic names: Uld, Kraul, ST, DME/DMW/DMN, Lashers, Baron run, AQ 20, AQ 40, RAQ, TAQ

New tabs and settings

  • Red "Settings" tab: role, pings (sound, taskbar flash, duration, how many at once, test notice to move notices), card timings, your own whisper texts per card type with , chat channels, minimap button, window scale, reset learned data
  • Amber "Filter" tab with all instances and categories in columns; the board now uses the full window width
  • Your role can be set to Tank, Healer or DPS regardless of class. Automatic stays the default

Cards and notices

  • Bigger, easier to spot bell icons in the Filter tab, toolbar, sections and notices
  • Clicking Show on a ping notice opens the board on that card and makes it glow for a few seconds
  • Quest notices show the quest name
  • Group posts without named roles show the player's message instead of "roles not stated", on cards and in notices
  • Cleaner cards: no more "posted 2x", language tag, extra instances in the title or orange "unsure" marking
  • Messages naming several instances are listed under each of them, e.g. "BT + Hyjal" under Black Temple and Mount Hyjal
  • Raids you have an ID for stay visible and are marked "you have an ID" (can be hidden in Settings); pings for them work too
  • Unselected tabs no longer have a gold rim at the bottom, so the selected tab stands out

Roles and matching

  • "Ranged DPS", "Melee DPS", "Caster DPS" and "Physical DPS" are shown as such, and matching knows your DPS type from your class and talents
  • "Need all" and "LFM all" count as a match for every class and role
  • "Caster Cape" or "ranged weapon" in a message no longer count as a wanted role
  • Class names inside quest and item links no longer count as a wanted role, e.g. "[The Hunter's Charm]" does not want a hunter

Categories and recognition

  • New category "Portals & Services" under Other: portals, summons, lockpicking, DMT buffs and taxi requests
  • Players buying a boost show up under Boosts & Sales, marked "Buying"; gold trades between realms go there too
  • Many more enchant and crafting requests recognized (Mongoose, Boar's Speed, "15 agi gloves", gem cuts, crafter lists, Spanish, French and German links)
  • Guild recruitment for a fixed roster goes to Guilds, looking for a specific raid goes to Raids; "Can I get an invite for <guild>?" counts as looking for a guild
  • Boss names and nicknames: Vashj, Al'ar, KT, Archimonde, Illidan, KZ, Maggy and more
  • SP and MT in raid messages are read as Shadow Priest and main tank, not as dungeons
  • Arena partner searches sorted into PvP, gold seller spam with look-alike letters detected
  • "LF tank WC (can summ)" and "summon will be available" stay groups instead of summon requests
  • Guild searches in more languages (French, Spanish, Slovak, Croatian), plus "lf ginv", "lf inv <guild>" and "<guild> inv me"
  • Fixed: guild ads that say "come join us" were not recognized at all
  • Guild ads without the word "recruiting" are recognized: "social/leveling guild, whisper for an invite", "<Gilde> sucht dich"
  • "Ony inc?" and "when do the BB buffs come" go to World buffs, gold trades between realms to Boosts & Sales
  • "Any tank?", "any raid today", "Nobody for Stockade?" and "can someone craft bags" are recognized
  • Quest links without an id, like "[48] The Altar of Zul", are recognized
  • "CHEAP [item] AT AH" and "for sale" count as Trade
  • Enchanter ads with stat lists go to Crafting, "LF +25 agi" is an enchant request
  • Glued posts like "LFM1TANK" or "1xTank 2xDD" are read correctly

Fixes

  • A player could get two cards when the game sent their name once with and once without the realm
  • Raid progress like "BT 7/9" is no longer shown as a fill bar
