5.3.33-JuNNeZ (2026-03-28)

Localization

• Full translation pass across all nine shipped locale files (deDE, esES, frFR, itIT, koKR, ptBR, ruRU, zhCN, zhTW): every previously untranslated string now has a proper translation.
• Added the missing Soul Fragments display-mode strings (Demon Hunter Devourer toggle, count toggle, display-mode selector, and all four mode options) to all non-English locales.

5.3.32-JuNNeZ (2026-03-28)

The big castbar gimmick update

• Enemy nameplate castbars now use the rebuilt interrupt-color path again, with yellow when your main interrupt is ready, red when it is unavailable, and gray for protected casts.
• Added a shared Unit Frames option to color supported enemy cast spell names by interrupt/protected state, while keeping spell names stable by default if you prefer plain text.
• Cleaned up the target castbar options: the dead reverse-growth toggle is gone, and the temporary full-bar target interrupt tint option is hidden until the target protected-cast path is reliable again.
• Updated the castbar option text and interrupt legend translations across all shipped locale files.

Access

• Cast spell text coloring: /az -> Unit Frames -> Color Cast Spell Text By State
• Enemy castbar interrupt legend: /az -> Nameplates
• Target full-bar interrupt tint: temporarily disabled while the target follow-up continues

Internal

• Added the AzeriteUI-owned NameplateInterruptDB.lua fallback helper and seeded it from existing Plater interruptible-spell data when available, without requiring Plater to remain installed.
• Expanded /azdebug nameplates for the interrupt-state investigation and kept the TODO/FixLog notes aligned with the current castbar state.

5.3.31-JuNNeZ (2026-03-28)

Highlights

• Fixed another WoW 12 Blizzard player castbar regression where the hidden Blizzard castbar could still throw forbidden-table and invalid texture errors while AzeriteUI's custom player castbar was active.

Access

• No new menu path. This is a retail stability hotfix for the existing AzeriteUI player castbar replacement.

Internal

• Core/FixBlizzardBugsWow12.lua: restored and expanded the WoW 12 castbar fail-closed guards for GetTypeInfo, finish/spark visual helpers, and live OverlayPlayerCastingBarFrame instances.
• Components/UnitFrames/Units/PlayerCastBar.lua: reverted Blizzard player/pet castbar suppression back to alpha-only hiding so Blizzard keeps its internal event/unit state intact.

5.3.30-JuNNeZ (2026-03-27)

Highlights

• Fixed a WoW 12 compact raid-manager taint that could still trigger ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED with protected UNKNOWN() calls when AzeriteUI hid the Blizzard raid utility bar.

Access

• No new menu path. This is a retail hotfix for the existing /az -> Unit Frames -> Show Blizzard Raid Bar toggle.

Internal

• Core/FixBlizzardBugsWow12.lua: stopped mutating CompactRaidFrameManager anchors and parent from the WoW 12 quarantine helper, and now suppresses the disabled manager bar through alpha/mouse handling instead.

5.3.29-JuNNeZ (2026-03-27)

The Interrupt Conumdrum

• Continued the retail interrupt-state cleanup for unitframes and nameplates, but this pass is still work-in-progress.
• Nameplate health text can now sit below the bar, inside the bar, or move inside only while you are in combat.
• Added an optional Blizzard raid utility bar toggle in /az -> Unit Frames for ready check and world marker access.
• Hardened another WoW 12 Blizzard widget path and removed a taint-prone minimap widget override that could still feed secret-value widget errors.
• Boss and arena health bars were pushed back toward a plain native fill path while the reverse-fill follow-up continues.

Access

• Nameplate health text placement: /az -> Nameplates -> Visibility
• Blizzard raid utility bar: /az -> Unit Frames

Internal

• WIP interrupt follow-up: nameplates now use the simpler plain/oUF interrupt path again while the shared interrupt probe also learns from the live Blizzard castbar lock state.
• Added broader /azdebug tooling for keys, target fill inspection, and solo raidbar testing.
• Expanded the retail widget fail-closed guards to cover additional item-display/minimap-widget secret-value paths.

5.3.28-JuNNeZ (2026-03-27)

Highlights

• Restored soft-target icons and names for interactable world objects such as mining nodes, herbs, chairs, and similar object-like nameplates.

Access

• No new menu path. Soft-target an interactable object in the world and its icon/name should appear again.

Internal

• The retail nameplate object-plate path now keeps a minimal visible overlay while the plate is soft-targeted, hovered, or hard-targeted instead of forcing the entire plate and SoftTargetFrame alpha to zero.

5.3.27-JuNNeZ (2026-03-27)

Highlights

• Fixed another WoW 12 Blizzard widget crash that could still throw Blizzard_UIWidgetTemplateTextWithState.lua:35 when delve, map, or tooltip text/state widgets exposed secret text sizing values.
• Broadened the existing tooltip widget protection so related Blizzard secret-value geometry errors from shared tooltip layout code are also suppressed instead of surfacing as Lua errors.

Access

• No new menu path. This is a stability patch for Blizzard-owned widget/tooltip rendering on retail WoW 12.

Internal

• Extended the fail-closed widget guard in Core/FixBlizzardBugsWow12.lua from GameTooltip_AddWidgetSet(...) to the live text-with-state and widget-manager registration paths, hiding the failed widget/container on confirmed secret-value errors.

5.3.26-JuNNeZ (2026-03-26)

Highlights

• Removed the unused Classic/Cata/Wrath tracker, aura, and library baggage from this retail-only edition to keep the shipped addon focused on WoW 12.
• Hardened retail aura handling again so nil/late aura payloads do not crash AzeriteUI aura widgets, and Blizzard buff-frame updates are no longer forced through the WoW 12 secret-value expirationTime path before being hidden.
• Continued the active retail follow-up on nameplate interrupt visuals, health-percentage caching, and reverse-fill bar behavior.

Access

• Added /azdebug nameplates [unit] as a targeted debug helper for the current nameplate interrupt-state investigation.

Known Not Working

• GetInterruptCastVisualState / Castbar_RefreshInterruptVisuals: some protected enemy nameplate casts can still show yellow instead of grey.
• ResolveDisplayHealthPercent: some unitframe health percentages can still stick at 100% or another stale snapshot like 91%.
• Target castbar reverse-fill path: right-to-left cast fill still needs a dedicated fake-fill solution instead of the current native reverse-fill behavior.
• Boss/Arena reverse-fill path: fake-fill and native SetReverseFill(true) are still fighting each other and can make bars look like they fill from the wrong side.

Internal

• The retail cleanup deletes the unused Classic compatibility payloads listed in TODO.md, including dead tracker variants, non-retail aura datasets, and oUF_Classic/Classic-only support libs that are not loaded by the retail XML path.

5.3.25-JuNNeZ (2026-03-25)

Highlights

• Fixed a retail tooltip/widget crash that could throw Blizzard_UIWidgetTemplateTextWithState.lua:35 errors when Blizzard tooltip widgets hit WoW 12 secret-value text sizing.
• Enemy nameplate interrupt castbars are now partially working again, with clearer interrupt-ready and interrupt-on-cooldown visuals plus a right-side interrupt marker.
• Interrupt castbars are still work-in-progress.
• Known issue: some non-interruptible enemy casts can still show yellow as if they were interruptible.

Access

• No new menu path. This release combines a tooltip crash fix with a WIP hostile nameplate castbar follow-up.

Internal

• Added a narrow tooltip-widget fail-closed guard for the Blizzard secret-value text-height crash path on WoW 12.
• Simplified the hostile interrupt visual resolver back toward a Platynator-style state model and isolated the live cast payload while the remaining non-interruptible-state bug is still under investigation.

5.3.24-JuNNeZ (2026-03-25)

Highlights

• Fixed action button cooldowns throwing "Secret values are only allowed during untainted execution" errors in WoW 12.0.1, which caused 100+ errors per session during normal play.
• Fixed BugSack copy-session snapshot showing a stale hardcoded AzeriteUI version instead of the actual running version.

Internal

• LibActionButton-1.0-GE: On WoW 12.0+, UpdateCooldown now uses C_ActionBar.GetActionCooldownDuration + SetCooldownFromDurationObject for action buttons, bypassing the secret-value taint restriction entirely. Falls back to ActionButton_ApplyCooldown on older API, and adds IsSafeNumber guards on the legacy path.
• BugSack.lua: Replace hardcoded AZERITEUI_VERSION string with a live C_AddOns.GetAddOnMetadata lookup so the exported version always matches the running TOC.

5.3.23-JuNNeZ (2026-03-24)

Highlights

• Fixed a recurring /az options crash that could block the raid-frame and party health-color settings pages from opening when a locale lookup returned no value.
• Improved hostile interruptible castbar colors so target and nameplate casts show ready, unavailable, and protected states during combat (work-in-progress, may still fall back under some conditions).

Access

• Open /az -> Unit Frames -> Raid Frames (5/25/40) or /az -> Unit Frames -> Party — health-color sections now open reliably again.

Internal

• Hardened AddHealthColorOptions() to fall back to embedded English text when locale keys are missing.
• Reworked the shared interrupt resolver with spec-aware primary/secondary pools and secret-safe cooldown evaluation.

5.3.22-JuNNeZ (2026-03-22)

Highlights

• Fixed a /az options crash that could block the raid-frame health-color settings pages from opening after the recent localization update.

Access

• Open /az -> Unit Frames -> Raid Frames (5/25/40) and the health-color section should load normally again.

Why

• The health-color options helper assigned its localized descriptions into the wrong local-variable names, leaving AceConfig with a nil description field when those raid-frame pages were built.

Internal

• Corrected the Desc/desc local-variable mismatch in Options/OptionsPages/UnitFrames.lua so the existing localized health-color descriptions are passed through correctly.

5.3.21-JuNNeZ (2026-03-22)

Highlights

• Fixed the alternate player frame getting stuck on an incorrect sub-100 health percent after recovering to full health, which could also keep Explorer Mode from fading back out until /reload.
• Restored localization coverage for the newer /az option pages and addon landing text so recent menu additions no longer stay hardcoded in English on non-English clients.

Access

• No new menu path. This is a follow-up hotfix release.

Why

• The alternate-player issue came from the shared health-percent text path trusting a stale health-percent API result over the live frame cache, while Explorer Mode was also checking the low-health and low-mana toggles against the wrong condition.
• The localization issue came from newer option-page labels and descriptions being added directly as raw strings instead of being routed through the locale tables.

Internal

• Hardened shared [*:HealthPercent] resolution against divergent API reads, made Explorer Mode prefer the active player-frame health cache, and corrected the low-health/low-mana toggle wiring.
• Routed recent options and landing-page strings through AceLocale and added the missing keys across the shipped locale files.

5.3.20-JuNNeZ (2026-03-22)

Highlights

• Fixed a retail world map setup error that could trigger a Blizzard assertion when AzeriteUI restored map state while the map was not actually maximized.
• Fixed the Enhancement Shaman class-power regression where a large white secondary bar could appear beside the Maelstrom crystal, especially after login or while out of combat.

Access

• No new menu path. This is a hotfix release.

Why

• Both issues came from recent retail follow-up work: one in the integrated world map module's maximize-state handling, and one in the shared Shaman class-power path where the Elemental swap bar was still being kept alive outside Elemental.

Internal

• Guarded world-map maximize-size calls so Blizzard maximized-only sizing logic only runs while the map is actually maximized.
• Limited the retail Shaman secondary Power bar to Elemental swap-bar mode and now explicitly hide/clean it for Enhancement and other non-Elemental Shaman states.

5.3.19-JuNNeZ (2026-03-22)

The Rui Reverberation

• Integrated Rui's retail MapShrinker world map pass into AzeriteUI, including the integrated border look, player/cursor coordinates, and a player-facing /az -> World Map enable toggle that defaults on.
• Brought over Rui's retail nameplate optimization pass with the tighter health/cast presentation, restored target highlight, target-only aura support, and retail cleanup of dead load-list paths.
• Added player-facing controls around the imported nameplate changes instead of hard-locking them: /az -> Nameplates -> Size -> Maximum distance now supports 20 to 60, /az -> Nameplates -> Size -> Castbar vertical offset tunes the normal castbar anchor, and target-only auras remain toggleable under /az -> Nameplates -> Visibility.
• Fixed the main follow-up regressions from the import so raid markers show again, castbars start closer to the health bar by default, and long creature/cast names behave more like stock instead of clipping/wrapping into the tighter bars.

Access

• Nameplate visibility and aura options: /az -> Nameplates -> Visibility
• Nameplate size, distance, and castbar offset: /az -> Nameplates -> Size
• World map toggle: /az -> World Map
• Rui credit on the addon landing page: Blizzard Settings -> AzeriteUI -> Credits & Maintainers

Why

• Rui's retail patch set cleaned up the world map and nameplate presentation for retail, but this branch already had newer behavior in a few runtime paths and also needed player-facing controls where Rui's copy used fixed retail defaults.
• This follow-up keeps the imported retail look/performance wins while preserving the branch's newer pieces and tightening the imported visuals back toward AzeriteUI stock behavior where the Rui layout exposed clipping or visibility regressions.

Internal

• Imported from Rui: MapShrinker world map integration, tighter retail nameplate health/cast proportions, restored target highlight, target-only aura baseline, retail-only file-load cleanup, and the LibSmoothBar throttle reduction.
• Kept from this branch: the newer 1/20 mouseover/soft-target timers instead of Rui's older 1/12, the existing target-frame path that did not need a direct RUEM Lua port, and the branch-owned nameplate baseline where Rui's actual source did not require forcing global profile scale to 1.
• Changed locally after import: the hard 40 nameplate distance became a slider, the world map became toggleable, AzeriteUI nameplates were made to follow Blizzard visibility CVars more closely, the standard castbar got a shipped +8 closer baseline plus a live offset slider, the raid-marker stock oUF path was restored, and Rui's credits were added in the relevant options pages and top-level credits list.

Thanks

• Thanks to Rui for the MapShrinker integration and nameplate optimization work that this retail merge was based on.

5.3.18-JuNNeZ (2026-03-21)

Highlights

• Reduced a retail WoW 12 taint path by stopping AzeriteUI from writing replacement highlight handlers onto Blizzard-owned frame tables that could leak into Edit Mode, Encounter Warnings, and other secure systems.

Access

• No new user-facing menu path. This is a stability hotfix.

Why

• The failing stacks were inside Blizzard secure/UI systems while marked as tainted by AzeriteUI, which matched the repo’s existing warning about replacing Blizzard-owned methods in current retail.
• This patch removes the remaining live instances of that method-replacement pattern from the affected Blizzard support-frame suppression paths.

Internal

• Removed the live HighlightSystem / ClearHighlight replacement from Blizzard mirror timers and cleaned up the same stale pattern in the related retail support-frame modules.

5.3.17-JuNNeZ (2026-03-21)

Highlights

• Added interrupt-readiness coloring to enemy nameplate castbars so interruptible casts read more clearly when your kick is ready, unavailable, or the cast is protected.
• Reworked AzeriteUI nameplate sizing so friendly players, friendly NPCs, enemies, soft targets, and hard targets follow clearer separate scale paths instead of sharing one oversized friendly baseline.
• Added a dedicated Friendly NPC size control and stabilized soft-target handling so interact/soft-target plates behave more predictably without leaning on Blizzard scale mode.
• Expanded player-frame aura-row customization with a cleaner basic/advanced split, while keeping AzeriteUI stock behavior available as the default path.
• Reworked Party Frames aura controls so filtering, layout, and dispellable-debuff emphasis are easier to tune and read in /az.
• Fixed Blizzard duplicate support frames that could still appear alongside AzeriteUI, including battleground carrier frames and the Blizzard breath bar mirror timer.
• Improved class-power click blocking so visible Paladin Holy Power coverage matches the actual art footprint more reliably.

Access

• Nameplate size controls: /az -> Nameplates -> Size
• Player aura row settings: /az -> Unit Frames -> Player
• Party aura row settings: /az -> Unit Frames -> Party Frames
• Aura header targeting options: /az -> Aura Header

Why

• This stable follow-up focuses on visual clarity and duplicate-frame cleanup in active retail WoW 12 gameplay, with extra attention on nameplate scale consistency.
• Castbars, nameplates, aura rows, party-frame aura visibility, and Blizzard frame suppression should now behave more predictably without relying on external addon workarounds.

Internal

• Normalized retail aura metadata consumers so spellId/spellID registrations resolve more consistently across filtering, sorting, and styling.
• Moved retail interrupt spell ownership into shared aura data helpers instead of maintaining a duplicate castbar-only map.

5.3.16-JuNNeZ (2026-03-20)

The Signalglass

• Expanded party-frame aura controls and stabilized harmful/dispellable debuff handling, including a frame glow so dispellable states are easier to read.
• Split power value alpha control so player and target power text can be tuned independently.
• Disabled the broken white absorb/heal-prediction overlay on non-player/target frames until a safer retail path is ready.
• Hid duplicate Blizzard battleground carrier/arena support frames that could appear alongside AzeriteUI in current WoW 12 contexts.
• Reworked party and raid health-bar coloring so you can choose AzeriteUI class colors, Blizzard class colors, or flat health green with class color only on mouseover.

Access

• Party health color controls: /az -> Unit Frames -> Party Frames
• Raid health color controls: /az -> Unit Frames -> Raid Frames (5/25/40)
• New options:
  • Use Class Colors
  • Use Blizzard Health Bar Colors
  • Only Show Class Color on Mouseover

Why

• Party and raid health colors now read more clearly and behave more predictably.
• Players can keep a simple green health baseline, switch to Blizzard palette parity, or only surface class/reaction colors when hovering a frame.
• The release also reduces duplicate or broken overlays and improves readability across common unit-frame states.

Internal

• Expanded the maintainer-only /aztest runtime preview flow for supported unit-frame layouts.
• Continued boss/arena reverse-fill and fake-fill groundwork against the target-frame path while narrowing remaining mismatches to the preview/test presenter instead of live target rendering.

5.3.15-JuNNeZ (2026-03-18)

The Aura Homeostasis

• Reworked the retail aura handling around WoW 12 secret-value restrictions so player-frame and top-right aura behavior stays closer to AzeriteUI stock intent without combat-state disappearance.
• Converted the top-right aura header to a safer mixed modern data path, reducing blank-icon and border-only failures when fresh auras are gained in combat.
• Restored stock-style player-frame combat relevance as the default behavior, while keeping new player-aura filtering controls available for local tuning.
• Fixed party/player aura settings wiring so growth and spacing options actually apply to the live aura layout.

Fixes & Changes

• Removed forbidden aura-table iteration in the WoW 12 Blizzard-fix paths.
• Reduced chat-related taint risk by skipping temporary chat frame styling/hooks that could bleed into Blizzard whisper handling.
• Added clearer /az option grouping and labeling for aura header, unit-frame aura settings, and related UI pages.
• Reframed the Aura Header targeting options so WoW 12 only shows the setting that is actually active.

5.3.14-JuNNeZ (2026-03-16)

Fixes & Changes

• Disabled the golden glow effect for soul fragments (Demon Hunter/Enhancement Shaman) due to visual bugs; groundwork for future improvements remains in code (commented out).
• Soul Fragments Display Mode dropdown is now always visible for all Demon Hunters, regardless of specialization.

Internal

• Code cleanup and groundwork for future class power visual improvements.

5.3.13-JuNNeZ (2026-03-14)

Fixes

• Fixed battleground/local-party frame handling so the party-style header follows the player's actual raid subgroup in PvP raid contexts instead of briefly showing and then vanishing after the roster settles.
• Corrected the party-header child reflow so PvP/battleground party members no longer collapse onto overlapping visual slots.
• Removed the bad /az -> Unit Frames options-tree rule that hid Raid Frames (5) whenever Party Frames enabled any raid visibility toggle.

Thanks

• Thanks to AceShotz for finding the battleground party-frame bug and testing the fix in-game.

5.3.12-JuNNeZ (2026-03-14)

Fixes

• Restored the stock player-frame PvP badge to AzeriteUI's own Alliance/Horde media instead of leaving the override path without assigned faction textures.
• Moved the default player-frame PvP badge anchor back onto a centered base point and added /az -> Unit Frames -> Player -> PvP Badge X/Y offset controls plus a reset action for local repositioning.

5.3.11-JuNNeZ (2026-03-14)

Fixes

• Added /az options to hide or shrink the large priority debuff icon on retail 11-25 and 26-40 raid frames.
• Kept the change on the visual PriorityDebuff element only, so the big-debuff option does not touch secure raid header attributes, visibility drivers, or protected click/layout paths.

Thanks

• Thanks to Yarko for testing the retail large-raid changes and confirming the updated behavior in-game.

5.3.10-JuNNeZ (2026-03-14)

Fixes

• Reworked retail 11-25 and 26-40 raid headers to explicitly re-anchor their spawned child buttons after secure roster updates, fixing the compact square/grid bunching in larger raids.
• Fixed the original secure raid-button click taint: the header-spawned party/raid unit buttons were hitting ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED because addon code was calling RegisterForClicks("AnyUp") from insecure Lua while oUF was styling secure group-header children.
• Corrected the first workaround for that click bug: moving RegisterForClicks("AnyUp") into the restricted oUF-initialConfigFunction did not work because RegisterForClicks is not exposed inside secure header snippets. The final fix leaves secure header children on oUF's built-in *type1 = target and *type2 = togglemenu setup, while only non-header frames register clicks through the shared initializer.

5.3.9-JuNNeZ (2026-03-14)

Fixes

• Moved the retired retail /az remove addontext|clocktext behavior into Minimap options, migrated any saved legacy text-hide flags, and switched remaining hardcoded AzeriteUI media references in that path over to addon-safe media lookups.
• Hardened raid header refresh in raid frames so stale or incomplete saved layout values can no longer feed invalid secure header attributes and break raid frames in raid groups.

5.3.8-JuNNeZ (2026-03-13)

Fixes

• Corrected the release version metadata from 5.3.7-JuNNeZ to 5.3.8-JuNNeZ in the TOC, build script, and changelog after finalizing the assisted-highlight release state.

Known Issues

• The /az action-bar option Cast action keybinds on key down can still throw Blizzard Settings BugSack noise for ActionButtonUseKeyDown on WoW 12. The bars themselves continue to function, but the settings-side error remains unresolved in this release.
• Assisted highlight color customization is not ready for release yet. The circular assisted highlight currently ships in Blizzard blue while work continues on a stable multi-color version.

5.3.7-JuNNeZ (2026-03-13)

Fixes

• Restored action-bar spell proc highlights by reconnecting LibActionButton overlay-glow handling to AzeriteUI's custom CustomSpellActivationAlert texture on the main bars.
• Added Blizzard assisted-combat highlight support to AzeriteUI action bars and kept the assisted suggestion circular on AzeriteUI buttons instead of falling back to the native square frame.

Known Issues

• The /az action-bar option Cast action keybinds on key down can still throw Blizzard Settings BugSack noise for ActionButtonUseKeyDown on WoW 12. The bars themselves continue to function, but the settings-side error remains unresolved in this release.

5.3.6-JuNNeZ (2026-03-13)

Axiom Extravaganza

• Reworked the WoW 12 compact-frame fix strategy back toward root-cause ownership handling instead of broad shared Blizzard wrappers.
• Kept the original compact aura isHarmful secret-value fix while stripping back the taint-prone symptom guards that cascaded into party, Edit Mode, and nameplate regressions.
• Tightened Blizzard compact party/raid shutdown so hidden Blizzard frames stop participating in roster refresh paths more reliably.
• Restored a secret-mode visual-only hide for Blizzard nameplate health bars so duplicate Blizzard bars no longer show behind AzeriteUI nameplates.

Fixes

• Restored and improved the BugSack copy workflow so the current session can be exported into a selectable multiline copy window again.
• Added the hidden SaiyaRatt Exposition command and improved SaiyaRatt alternate-player live refresh and threat-texture stability.
• Clarified the passive WoW 12 path in FixBlizzardBugs.lua so the legacy lower-half Blizzard rewrites are no longer misleading during maintenance.

5.3.5-JuNNeZ (2026-03-12)

Fixes

• Restored the embedded oUF, oUF_Plugins, and oUF_Classic libraries to the pre-sync snapshot after the newer mixed library state introduced startup, travel, combat, and secret-value regressions.
• Added local Backups/ snapshots to .gitignore so operational rollback folders no longer clutter the worktree.

5.3.4-JuNNeZ (2026-03-11)

Saiyaratt Exposition

• Added a built-in selectable SaiyaRatt profile preset alongside the default Azerite profile.
• Recreated the verified SaiyaRatt player, alternate-player, and target unitframe presentation using only the referenced AzRattUI assets and layout deltas.
• Added the required SaiyaRatt media for the alternate-player power bar and compact target presentation.
• Gated SaiyaRatt-specific target and alternate-player behavior so the stock Azerite profile remains unchanged.
• Fixed SaiyaRatt target health-percent placement and percent sourcing so the compact target crystal follows the live health percentage path more reliably.
• Prevented Blizzard's alternate power bar restore path from reintroducing the old playeralternate crystal while SaiyaRatt is active.

5.3.3-JuNNeZ (2026-03-11)

Fixes

• Party frame priority debuff stability:
  • Normalized oUF priority-debuff dispel entries to numeric priorities so party leader and roster updates no longer hit the boolean-vs-number compare error.

5.3.2-JuNNeZ (2026-03-10)

Fixes

• Class Power stability and layout follow-up:
  • Restored safe default anchoring for class power on fresh/reset/copied profiles so /lock placement stays aligned after reinstall or profile changes.
  • Synced the Elemental Shaman one-time anchor migration with the movable /lock anchor state.
  • Fixed Enhancement Shaman class power visibility gating so the configured spell-known requirement is actually honored in both retail and classic/shared oUF copies.
  • Removed dead Elemental class power toggle/offset leftovers from runtime defaults and options.
  • Split Rogue 6-7 combo point rendering onto a dedicated extended arc so Rogue gets the larger end-cap layout without changing Feral's original 5-point finisher presentation.
  • Prevented pre-specialization fallback from forcing the Elemental swap-bar path before spec is known.

5.3.1-JuNNeZ (2026-03-09)

Fixes

• Tooltip secret-value hardening:
  • Guarded unit-tooltip nameplate detection against secret unit tokens in arena and other restricted contexts.
  • Added safe tooltip unit fallback and protected C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit lookups to stop tooltip backdrop styling errors.
• Mouseover cast follow-up:
  • Restored checkmouseovercast propagation on AzeriteUI action buttons so Blizzard mouseover-cast keyboard targeting can work again when the CVar is enabled.
  • Added enableMouseoverCast CVar refresh handling for action-bar button settings.
  • Registered AzeriteUI raid unit buttons for clicks to match secure party-frame behavior for click-cast style interaction.

5.3.0-JuNNeZ (2026-03-08)

The big nameplate rework

• Reworked AzeriteUI nameplate scaling so friendly, hostile, target, and friendly name-only plates all use one explicit scale model instead of mixed Blizzard/addon scaling.
• Added separate sliders for global nameplate scale, friendly/player scale, enemy scale, friendly/player target scale, enemy target scale, friendly name-only font scale, and friendly name-only target scale.
• Normalized slider math so 100% maps to the intended default for each control, and additive target-scale sliders now allow 0 for no extra target bump.
• Fixed hostile target plates shrinking when targeted by changing target scaling to additive bump logic instead of raw multiplier logic.
• Hardened runtime fallback/default handling so missing or stale profile values no longer drift to smaller-than-intended plate or font scales.
• Added stronger nameplate driver refresh/update handling inspired by Platynator so scale and native size/CVar settings reapply more reliably after world entry, UI scale changes, and combat deferral.
• Friendly player name-only mode now fully hides remaining healthbar visuals and overlays and keeps only the class-colored name at the configured size.

Unit Frames

• Cleaned up Unit Frames -> Class Power option visibility so class/spec-specific controls only appear when relevant.
• Reordered Class Power options so shared controls stay grouped and niche toggles no longer crowd the section.
• Restricted the Elemental crystal/bar resource split option to Elemental Shaman, Enhancement Maelstrom settings to Enhancement, Vengeance-only 10-point display mode to Vengeance Demon Hunter, and similar class power toggles to their owning class/spec.

5.2.235-JuNNeZ-hotfix-20260308 (2026-03-08)

Fixes

• Elemental Shaman resource presentation rework:
  • Replaced Elemental class-plate style points with a dedicated secondary resource bar using pet-bar art.
  • Added crystal/bar split modes so the Power Crystal can show either Maelstrom or Mana while the secondary bar shows the other resource.
  • Added live numeric value rendering on the secondary bar using the same display-read strategy as the power crystal (short, full, percent, shortpercent).
  • Added one-time default anchor migration for the new bar placement and preserved /lock-moved positions across reloads.
• Shaman power update stability:
  • Hardened Retail and Classic oUF classpower Maelstrom handling against secret/unreadable payloads using safe fallbacks.
  • Added/expanded Shaman power event coverage so Enhancement/Elemental updates remain responsive during combat.
• Combat lockdown safety:
  • Deferred Elemental display-mode geometry/element toggles until PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED to prevent ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED when switching mode in combat.
• Blizzard action button taint follow-up:
  • Removed statehidden attribute write from Blizzard action button hide path to reduce protected-action taint risk.
• Unitframe options:
  • Added Elemental crystal/bar split selector in UnitFrames options and moved the 10-point Soul Fragments display selector lower in the Class Power section.

5.2.235-JuNNeZ (2026-03-08)

Fixes

• Minimap tracking right-click reliability follow-up:
  • Added dedicated retail minimap click handler overlay and improved tracking button discovery/fallback validation.
  • Prevents false-positive "opened" paths when tracking menu is not actually shown.
• Bossbar health text fallback cleanup:
  • *:Health(true) smart/full output now prefers secret-safe formatted health values and no longer surfaces literal ? placeholders.
• WoW12 compact frame taint hardening:

5.2.234-JuNNeZ (2026-03-07)

Fixes

• Player Alternate devmode gating follow-up:
  • Devmode is now required to enable Player Alternate from options, but no longer required to keep it active at runtime.
  • Turning devmode off no longer force-disables/hides an already-enabled Player Alternate frame.

5.2.233-JuNNeZ (2026-03-07)

Fixes

• Action bar keybind routing follow-up:
  • Override click bindings now use a dedicated Keybind button token instead of LeftButton.
  • Restores shift-mod macro behavior on bar 1 while preserving dynamic paging/dragonriding action functionality.
• Minimap tracking right-click reliability follow-up:
  • Added robust retail tracking open chain (proxy/menu visibility checks + fallback order) while keeping tracking hidden safely.
  • Added minimap click registration/mouse safeguards and fixed crafting-order tooltip count lookup path.
• Player Alternate toggle behavior:
  • Enabling/disabling Player Alternate now cleanly syncs with the main Player frame without requiring /devmode re-toggle workarounds.
• Shaman class power support and visibility:
  • Added Maelstrom toggle/visibility integration in unitframe options.
  • Removed talent-spell gate from oUF classpower for Enhancement Maelstrom detection.
  • Added Maelstrom to the 10-point classpower renderer path with Shaman-specific color treatment.
• Class power click-through and visuals:

5.2.232-JuNNeZ (2026-03-07)

Fixes

• Tooltip deep-scan stability hardening (DiabolicUI-aligned):
  • Reworked tooltip backdrop cache to avoid SetAllPoints() secret-size inheritance.

  • Guarded tooltip post-call/statusbar update paths to reduce WoW12 taint/error cascades while keeping AzeriteUI tooltip skin enabled.
• Restored actionbar spell chat links on modified click:
  • Shift+Click/CHATLINK on action buttons now inserts spell links into the active chat edit box again.

5.2.231-JuNNeZ (2026-03-07)

Fixes

• Aligned WoW12 Blizzard frame disable behavior with ElvUI/GW2UI/DiabolicUI/FeelUI patterns:
  • Removed taint-prone shared Blizzard rewrites in FixBlizzardBugsWow12 (no global castbar mixin hooks, no global aura API rewrites).
  • Removed reusable Show -> Hide quarantine hooks and anonymous pool-frame quarantine.
  • Kept deterministic disable/reparent only for explicit Blizzard party/raid/arena frame names, reducing nameplate/EditMode taint spillover.
• Focus frame washout fix:
  • Focus target highlight now initializes hidden and uses focus tint when shown.

Known Bugs (Under Investigation)

• Rare Blizzard arena/compact aura defensive check can still throw a forbidden-table error in AuraUtil.IsBigDefensive.
• Rare Blizzard compact party health-color update can still throw a secret-value compare error in CompactUnitFrame_UpdateHealthColor.

5.2.230-JuNNeZ (2026-03-07)

Fixes

• Fixed talent/spec change castbar crash (CastingBarFrame.lua:GetTypeInfo forbidden-table indexing):
  • Added WoW 12 guards for GetTypeInfo on castbar mixins and live castbar instances (including OverlayPlayerCastingBarFrame) with safe fallback type info.
  • Replaced taint-prone Blizzard player/pet castbar suppression (UnregisterAllEvents()+Hide()) with non-invasive alpha suppression so Blizzard castbar internals stay intact during specialization/talent transitions.

5.2.229-JuNNeZ (2026-03-07)

Fixes

• Reworked WoW 12 tooltip handling so AzeriteUI tooltip skin can stay enabled with secret-value safety:

• Reduced secret-mode taint in nameplate/CUF paths by stopping risky Blizzard nameplate mutations.
• Hardened compatibility portrait shim and removed forced global SetPortraitToTexture override to avoid secure-call taint (SetAvatarTexture chain).
• Hardened action button press/hold state updates and hidden stock Blizzard button isolation to reduce ActionButton.lua secret-value errors.
• Removed player/target health bar spark visuals (spark no longer rendered).
• Added AceAddon compatibility alias so external tools expecting AceAddon:GetAddon("AzeriteUI") work with AzeriteUI5_JuNNeZ_Edition (restores AzUI health color picker integration path).

5.2.228-JuNNeZ (2026-03-06)

Fixes

• Fixed startup banner crash from Major Faction unlock toast when re-anchoring top banners:
  • Added nil-frame guard in Banners.TopBannerManager_Show.
  • Prevented frame:PlayBanner(data) replay when data is nil.

5.2.227-JuNNeZ (2026-03-06)

Fixes

• Fixed player power crystal current-value text update regression:
  • Restored live player power value formatter behavior to match the known-good e53811f path.
  • Added explicit self.Power:ForceUpdate() on player power-related unit events so value text refresh stays in sync with the crystal bar.
• Hardened zero-value display handling for power tags/target power text so empty values clear cleanly instead of leaving stale text.

5.2.226-JuNNeZ (2026-03-06)

Fixes

• Action button count display split restored to preserve spell charge updates while keeping item stack customization:
  • Consumable/item counts still use custom display (>1 shown, 1 hidden, * over max display count).

• LAB charge payload handling hardened:
  • Added charge-info normalization wrapper for action/spell charge payload variants.
  • Reintroduced action-slot spell resolution (C_ActionBar.GetSpell + override chain) for charge lookups.

Fixes

Known Not Working

5.2.225-JuNNeZ (2026-03-06)

5.2.218-JuNNeZ (2026-03-05)

Game Version Support

• Added WoW 12.0.1 support — Now targets and is compatible with Midnight patch 12.0.1 (120001) and 12.0.0 (120000).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ExplorerMode crash — "attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'min' (a secret number value)" error when checking player mana power. Added secret value guards to prevent arithmetic on WoW 12+ secure values.
• Fixed BtWQuests compatibility crash — SetPortraitToTexture fallback in compatibility layer no longer calls a nil original API; now safely falls back to texture:SetTexture(asset) when needed.
• Fixed AuraTemplates global lookup crash — Restored legacy global alias AzeriteUI for XML/legacy script compatibility after addon folder renaming.
• Fixed enemy name visibility regressions — Nameplate hostile units are no longer misclassified as object plates when UnitCanAttack/UnitCanAssist return secret values; improved target/name fallback resolution in unit tag name logic.
• Fixed player power crystal art alignment defaults — Updated default widget/frame/threat offsets and crystal sizing so the player power crystal, case, and threat overlays line up correctly out of the box.
• Fixed debug SafeCall return passthrough — SafeCall() now preserves a fifth return value to avoid truncated data in debug dump helpers.

5.2.217-JuNNeZ (2026-03-04)

Breaking Changes

• Removed Classic/Vanilla support — Dropped AzeriteUI5_JuNNeZ_Edition_Vanilla.toc and Classic Era compatibility. This edition now targets Retail (Midnight/WoW 12+) only. Classic WoW code removal will follow in future versions.

CurseForge & Packaging Configuration

• Added JuNNeZ Edition CurseForge project ID — Now uses project ID 1477618 to prevent conflicts with original AzeriteUI (ID: 298648).
• Removed original AzeriteUI identifiers — Removed original project IDs (X-Curse-Project-ID: 298648 and X-Wago-ID: R4N2PZKL) from both TOC files.
• Updated addon folder references — All IconTexture paths now correctly reference AzeriteUI5_JuNNeZ_Edition folder name instead of generic AzeriteUI.
• Added edition attribution — TOC files now include X-Edition: JuNNeZ Fan Edition - Not affiliated with original AzeriteUI to clearly identify this as a fan project.
• Fixed package configuration — Updated build script and .pkgmeta to use correct addon name and removed invalid folder move directives.
• Improved multi-version support — GitHub Actions workflow now auto-detects all game versions (Retail, Cata Classic, Classic Era) instead of forcing retail-only.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed nameplate unit names in dungeons — Hostile enemy names now display on nameplates in dungeon/instance content. Previously, names were only visible when mousing over or in active combat due to overly restrictive visibility logic.

5.2.216-JuNNeZ (2026-03-03)

Demon Hunter Devourer — Soul Fragments Display

• New soul fragments display — Devourer DH soul fragments (0–50 stacks) now display as a 10-point combo-point-style system. Each point represents 5 stacks; points light up progressively in a spiral layout matching the rogue combo point aesthetic.
• 4 display modes — Choose between Alpha, Gradient, Recolor, and Stacked 5-Point (hide empty, bright overflow from bottom) via Options → Unit Frames → Class Power.
• Show Soul Fragments toggle — New visibility toggle in Options → Unit Frames → Class Power for Demon Hunter Devourer.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ActionButton taint — ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED and secret number compare errors caused by Blizzard action button hiding writing secure attributes. Now uses non-destructive hide+reparent only.

Libraries & Internals

• Loaded LibEditModeOverride-1.0 — Library was bundled but not loaded. Now available for future Edit Mode integration.
• Updated LibEditModeOverride-1.0 — Applied upstream CooldownViewer slider fix from commit 39f30e5.

Known Issues

• Edit Mode taint errors — Opening or closing Edit Mode causes multiple taint errors. Investigation ongoing for next version.
• Mana orb — Mana orb display is still under investigation for WoW 12.
• Target castbar crop — Some non-self target casts may still show incorrect fill behavior; probe bar validation is ongoing.

5.2.211-JuNNeZ (2026-03-02)

• JuNNeZ Edition: Updated and maintained by JuNNeZ.
• Added power text size slider for player power crystal and mana orb (50-200% scale).

5.2.210-Release (2026-03-01)

• Added a target castbar debug probe (Target.Castbar.TestBar) to compare timer-driven cast fill behavior against the current fake-fill path.
• Improved target cast runtime fallback handling by probing timer payloads (GetTimerDuration) in generic cast sync hooks and preserving live fill on transient pending ticks.
• Fixed PartyFrames post-combat callback crash (LibMoreEvents-1.0.lua:76) by adding the missing PartyFrameMod.OnEvent handler for deferred header updates.
• Improved target cast debug visibility by dumping probe castbar state/source in /azdebug dump target.

• Fixed oUF health color crash when runtime color data is not a ColorMixin object (GetRGB nil safeguard).

Known issue (deferred)

• Charge tracking for some spells (for example Divine Steed and Judgment) still needs additional WoW12 investigation and is deferred to the next build.
