🛡️ AML v4.0.0 - The Network & UI Overhaul

Welcome to the biggest update in AML's history! Version 4.0.0 brings a completely rebuilt visual interface, military-grade P2P network syncing, and massive under-the-hood performance optimizations to guarantee zero micro-stutters during heavy combat.

✨ Major Features

• New Feature: Encrypted Community Sync (P2P Mesh Network)
  • You can now securely link your mute list with trusted friends and guildmates in real-time!
  • Setup a Network Password and share it with your friends. Whenever you mute a toxic player or spammer, it automatically broadcasts an AES-256 encrypted payload to your trusted network, silently muting that player for your friends as well.
  • Includes a dedicated terminal UI to accept/deny peer requests, and buttons to "Pull" or "Broadcast" your entire mute history to your network.
• Completely Redesigned Graphical Interface
  • The entire AML configuration menu has been rebuilt from scratch. Replaced the clunky default Blizzard menus with a sleek, modern, flat-design dashboard.
  • Interactive Module Grid: Easily toggle specific addon features (like the Chat Extender or History Buffer) ON or OFF to save memory. Disabled modules consume zero CPU.
  • Social HUD Integration: AML now docks a custom micro-button directly next to the native World of Warcraft "Quick Join" social button above your chat box. It displays your active mute count and flashes when a message is blocked.
  • Upgraded Character Search: The roster viewer now automatically colors names by class and includes a beautiful tooltip displaying system metrics, match counts, and your custom notes.

⚙️ Engine & Performance Upgrades

• LZW Compression Overhaul: Eliminated a major CPU bottleneck. Instead of compressing individual chat lines in real-time, AML now stores your 10,000-line chat history in plain-text RAM (using negligible memory) and bulk-compresses the entire array into a tiny footprint only when you log out.
• Upgraded Cryptography: Upgraded the P2P Community Sync engine to use the same military-grade AES-256 (CTR Mode) encryption as your local database, ensuring your network data cannot be intercepted or read by other addons.
• Mythic+ Anti-Taint Engine (MythicSuspend): Added a preemptive suspension engine. When you enter a Mythic or Mythic+ dungeon, AML automatically drops all risky Chat Box hooks to prevent Blizzard API [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] crashes, keeping your keys perfectly safe.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability

• Fixed Login/Reload Spam: Fixed an incredibly annoying issue where the addon would spam "Player is now being ignored" or "No player named X is currently playing" when syncing offline cross-faction players to the Blizzard server. AML now utilizes a rolling debounce timer to completely silence the chat box while the server processes your roster.
• Fixed Double History Print: Fixed a bug where the 10,000-line History Buffer would print twice upon initial login, or dump the entire history into your chat box every time you finished a Mythic+ dungeon.
• Fixed Chat Color Bleeding: Fixed an edge-case in the Chat Extender where extremely long messages containing colored text (|cff...|r) could bleed their color across your entire UI if the chunking engine split the message at the exact wrong byte.
• Fixed Class/Race Detection: Fixed a WoW API parameter mapping misalignment that caused the engine to miss a player's GUID. Class and Race data will now accurately attach to your mute roster again.
• Crash Protection: Wrapped several C-level Blizzard API calls (like GetPlayerInfoByGUID) in protected pcall functions to prevent hard game crashes if a buggy server event passes malformed data to the addon.
