Full Changelog Previous Releases

• remove WoW-Forever-specific toc file to simplify releases; TaintLess is harmless to load and still useful for older client versions
• use modern dropdowns
• toc updates
• docs: describe WoW Forever support
• fix: allow guild bank repairs on WoW Forever
• fix: stop using APIs that need deprecation fallbacks
  getglobal and IsSpellKnown only exist with the loadDeprecationFallbacks CVar on modern clients.
• fix: open the options by category ID and not in combat
  Opening the settings panel is restricted in combat on modern clients; the title lookup broke when the TOC title differed.
• build: add a WoW Forever TOC without TaintLess
  TaintLess treats Forever as Classic (16001 < 11e4) and hooks the Mainline UIDropDownMenu, which Forever's UI hardly uses.
• fix: handle secret loot messages and tooltip text
  Under the Midnight addon restrictions (Retail 12, WoW Forever) CHAT_MSG_LOOT text is secret in dungeons, raids and encounters, so scan the bags instead of matching it.
• fix: only turn in a quest once a reward was chosen
• feat: localize the options window and add German
• feat: group the options window into tabs
  Each option names its tab and optional section; options without a tab land in an Other tab.
• fix: scan for upgrades after closing a merchant and on level-up
  Purchases produce no CHAT_MSG_LOOT, and level requirements can unlock items without any loot event.
• feat: turn off Pawn and non-gear rolls by default on WoW Forever
  Pawn has no Forever scales yet.
• feat: use the general class profile on WoW Forever
  Forever has one specialization per class and no GetTalentTabInfo, so the pre-MoP detection errors there.
• feat: parse WoW Forever item stats
  Forever combines melee, ranged and spell hit and crit, has expertise and penetration, and counts bonus healing as one third spell damage (rule taken from the community repost).
• fix: read right tooltip text and ignore armor penetration as armor
  Tooltip data lines name the field rightText (TooltipDataHandler.lua); textRight was always nil.
• feat: detect WoW Forever
  WoW Forever runs the Mainline API but reports interface 16001, so the TOC version alone can't tell which API family is present. Also guard two load-time calls that don't exist there.
