Arc Track changelog

1.4.0

New Features

• Tracking wheel - Hold a key, point the mouse at a tracking and let go to switch, like the ping wheel. It works in dungeons too, because you do the picking. A quick tap leaves the wheel open so you can click instead, and there is a wheel macro for your action bars.
• Your wheel, your layout - In the options, pick how many spots the wheel has (3 to 10) and drag each tracking onto the spot you want, or off the wheel. Add all, Clear not learned and Reset get you started, and Find Herbs, Find Minerals and your other tracking can go on it too.
• Wheel look - Set the wheel's size, turn the names on or off, and show the tracking you have not learned yet, dimmed, to see the wheel to come.
• Dungeon readout - Inside dungeons and raids, where the game hides creature types from addons, Arc Track shows your target's type and the tracking you are on, so you can switch by hand.
• Readout options - Change the words before the type (Target: by default) and before your tracking, put the tracking icon before or after the name or hide it, and show the tracking line under or above the type.

Improvements

• Options window fits your screen - The window opens at the same share of your screen on any resolution, and a new Panel size slider makes it bigger or smaller. Long tabs scroll.
• Display options in tabs - General, Dungeons, Colors and Size each get their own tab, and the Dungeons tab previews the dungeon readout wherever you are.

Bug Fixes

• Esc closes the window - After you used the Discord button, Esc no longer closed the Arc Track window until a reload.

1.3.0

First public release, for WoW Forever.

New Features

• Tracking alert - When your tracking does not match the creature you are fighting, a small alert tells you which tracking to use and shows your switch key. When your tracking is right, nothing is shown.
• One-key switching - Bind a key in the options or under Key Bindings > AddOns > Arc Track, or drag the ready-made macro onto your bars. /arctrack switch does the same.
• Improved Tracking aware - Alerts only once you have a point in the talent, so the addon stays quiet until the damage bonus is real. One click turns that off.
• Knows what you have learned - Tracking types you do not know yet never raise an alert.
• Two display styles - The default alert, or a "target vs tracking" readout that collapses to a single check mark when your tracking already matches.
• Your look, your place - Icon and text, optional background, your own colors, pulse and size, and drag the preview anywhere on screen from the options panel.
• Minimap button - Left-click opens the options, right-click turns the alert on and off.

Good to know

• Inside instances - The game hides creature types from addons in dungeons and raids, so Arc Track shows the type but cannot pick for you there.
• Switching is a real cast on Forever, so it can take a moment. The alert reads "Switching..." until it lands.
• Settings loading - WoW Forever does not always load addon settings after a restart (a Blizzard bug affecting all addons). Arc Track's defaults are the recommended setup, so it works out of the box.
