[1.0.5] - 2026-09-23

This is the final release for TBC Classic Anniversary. From 2.0.0, Apotheca targets World of Warcraft: Forever. 1.0.5 stays available on CurseForge for Anniversary players, but it will not get further updates.

Added

• Added live cooldown swipes on bar buttons, so the cooldown animation starts the moment an item is used instead of only after combat ends.
• Added live stack counts, so item counts tick down during combat instead of waiting for combat to end.
• Added mana-aware food handling: food that also restores mana is now only blocked when both health and mana are full.
• Added /apo status, which prints why each visible button is or isn't clickable (debug mode, waste prevention, missing item, combat).
• Added a dedicated Healthstone button covering every rank from Minor through Master, in all three Improved Healthstone variants. Because all healthstone ranks share one cooldown, the button offers the smallest stone that still covers your missing health rather than burning the biggest one on a scratch; the tooltip shows how much it restores and why that stone was chosen. Smart ranking can be turned off in the options to always offer the strongest stone.

Fixed

• Fixed the Drink button missing Conjured Glacier Water entirely. It was dropped in 1.0.4, so a mage's best water could never be offered and Purified Draenic Water was picked instead. Glacier Water is back and, restoring the same 7200 mana, is now preferred as the conjured option with Purified Draenic Water as the right-click alternate.
• Fixed wrong mana values and wrong names throughout the drink list. Purified Draenic Water was listed as "Filtered Draenic Water" at 4800 (really 7200), Filtered Draenic Water as "Sweetened Goat's Milk" at 3600 (really 5100), Conjured Mountain Spring Water at 4800 (really 5100), and Morning Glory Dew at 2400 (really 2934). Drinks are now ranked by their real tooltip values.
• Fixed the Food button badly undervaluing Conjured Croissant at 4800 health when it restores 7500, which made vendor food win the conjured comparison and offered a mage the wrong food.
• Fixed the food list containing item IDs that are not food at all. 33662, listed as Homemade Cherry Pie, is a weapon; 27636, listed as Roasted Quail, is Bat Bites, a level 5 food restoring 247 health. Homemade Cherry Pie and Roasted Quail are now present under their real IDs, and Homemade Cherry Pie no longer claims to restore mana — it restores health only.
• Fixed six more mislabelled food entries whose IDs pointed at different items than their names claimed, including Talbuk Steak, Mag'har Grainbread, Lynx Steak, Ogri'la Chicken Fingers, Alterac Swiss, and Dried King Bolete. Every food entry now matches its real item and tooltip value.
• Fixed three food entries (Sour Goat Cheese, Crusty Flatbread, Salted Venison) that are Wrath-era items and do not exist on this client. They have been removed.
• Fixed the Food and Drink buttons ignoring several common vendor consumables at tiers they already covered: Mag'har Mild Cheese and Zangar Trout (7500 health), Garadar Sharp and Sunspring Carp (4320 health), and Silverwine (5100 mana). Carrying only one of these left you with no item on the button at all.
• Fixed Conjured Cinnamon Roll being treated as a combined food-and-drink item. It restores health only, so carrying one collapsed the Food and Drink buttons into a single biscuit button and left you with no water. It is now ranked as ordinary conjured food, and Conjured Sourdough was added to cover the level 35 tier.
• Fixed instance-restricted potions being offered outside the instances they work in. Cenarion Mana Salve, Auchenai Mana Potion, and the matching healing versions showed up on the bar anywhere, even though they can only be drunk inside Coilfang Reservoir and Auchindoun respectively. All six restricted potions — Cenarion, Auchenai, and Bottled Nethergon — are now offered only while you are inside their own instances, and the bar rescans on zone change so they appear the moment you zone in.
• Fixed the Health button missing Bottled Nethergon Vapor and Cenarion Healing Salve entirely, and mislabelling Auchenai Healing Potion as a Tempest Keep item.
• Fixed waste-prevention Block giving no feedback. A blocked button — most often a conjured mana biscuit at full health and mana — simply did nothing when clicked. The tooltip now says why the button is blocked, and clicking it prints an explanation instead of silently ignoring the click.
• Fixed the bar unlocking itself: the purple Drag to move overlay could get stuck on after a missed Alt key press, leaving the bar movable for a while. The overlay now follows the real Alt key state and clears itself automatically.
• Fixed the bar staying attached to the cursor when a drag was interrupted.
• Fixed bar buttons responding to both the press and the release of a click, which could use an item twice from a single click. Buttons now act on press only.
• Fixed every bar button being completely unclickable. Making buttons act on release alone stopped them from doing anything at all on this client, which only performs a button's action on the press.
• Fixed the waste-prevention confirmation appearing for resources that were no longer full. The bar cannot refresh during combat, so a conjured mana biscuit blocked at full health and mana would keep asking for confirmation even after mana had been spent. Buttons now re-check current health and mana when clicked and use the item without prompting when nothing would be wasted.

[1.0.4] - 2026-04-08

Added

• Added right-click alternate support for recovery items when waste prevention is set to Ask.
• Added a configurable Conjured preference threshold to control when non-conjured food or drink should be preferred over conjured items.
• Added a dedicated Button Order tab in the options panel with move up / move down controls and a reset to default option.
• Added a Profile tab with support for switching between global and character-specific settings from the UI.
• Added tooltip hints showing the alternate item available on right-click for food and drink buttons.
• Added support for many more recovery food and drink items, including additional conjured, vendor, quest, drop, and cooked options.

Changed

• Reworked the options panel into a tabbed layout for easier navigation.
• Food and drink selection is now smarter:
  • conjured food and drink are preferred by default,
  • non-conjured alternatives are chosen only when they are significantly better based on the configured threshold,
  • the non-primary choice is preserved as an alternate right-click option.
• Health consumable handling now separates healthstones from healing potions instead of mixing them in the same item list.
• Recovery buttons now expose clearer alternate behavior and better waste-prevention flow.

Fixed

• Corrected healthstone priority and expanded healthstone coverage to include the proper improved and base ranks.
• Added missing healing potion tiers to improve fallback health consumable selection.
• Added missing drink tiers and corrected food/drink coverage for lower and mid-level consumables.
• Prevented secure button updates while in combat to avoid combat-lockdown issues during bar refreshes.
• Cleared temporary alternate-item swaps on refresh so buttons always return to their proper primary item state.

[1.0.3] - 2026-04-05

• Fixed changelog packaging

[1.0.2] - 2026-04-05

Added

• Added a Bandage button that shows the best available bandage from your bags.
• Added Bandage options in the settings panel, including an enable/disable toggle.
• Added automatic Recently Bandaged detection to disable bandage usage while the debuff is active.
• Added custom button ordering in options, with up/down controls and a reset-to-default action.
• Added support for more conjured food and drink items, including stronger mage water/food entries.
• Added an Ask first waste-prevention mode that shows a confirmation popup before using recovery items at full health/mana.

Changed

• Replaced the old boolean preventWaste setting with a new preventWasteMode setting:
  • BLOCK
  • ASK
  • DO_NOTHING
• Added profile migration so old saved settings automatically convert to the new waste-prevention mode.
• Updated food selection to always prefer the highest healing food, and prefer conjured food on ties.
• Updated drink selection to better prefer the best available mana drink, with conjured drinks preferred on ties.
• Updated layout logic so visible buttons now follow the user’s custom button order.
• Health and mana potion buttons now remain visible as greyed-out empty slots when no item is available.
• Food and drink buttons now remain visible as empty slots instead of disappearing when unavailable.
• Empty buttons now consistently show their desaturated placeholder icon outside of debug mode.

Fixed

• Fixed compatibility for old saved profiles by migrating legacy waste-prevention settings.
• Fixed bandage usability handling so the bandage button is disabled when it cannot legally be used and re-enabled when the debuff expires.
• Fixed recovery-button waste prevention so it can now either block usage, ask for confirmation, or allow usage depending on configuration.
• Fixed layout refresh behavior so button visibility and ordering stay in sync after settings changes.

Notes

• The new default button order now includes Bandage as a supported category.
• Existing custom orders are validated to remove duplicates/unknown keys and automatically append any missing buttons.
