1.1.4
- Fixed a bug with (the unwanted visibility of) Blizzards new cooldown.
- Fixed a bug with option 'Button Shape' set from 'Dynamic' to 'Static'.
- Fixed a but with bar type Pet Bar where the bar was not filled with actions on first summoning a pet or if a pet was already there if the bar type was set to Pet Bar.
- Fixed a but with bar type Pet Bar where a lua error was thrown when bar type was set to Pet Bar.

1.1.3

New:
- Added a new option "Enable Bar" (Bar Options > Bar) to hide bars without having to delete them.
    The default value is 'enabled'.    
    A disabled bar is hidden and obv. can't be selected via clicking the bar anchor. :D
    But the bar is still listed and selectable in the Bar Select dropdown list (Bar Options > top right corner)
- Added a new feature: "Spell Selector"
    - Do a CTRL + Right Click on a BAB button to open the spell selector. It shows all your current spells (and the spells and actions of your pet if there is one).
        Clicking a spell in the spell selector sets action button to the the selected spell.
        Move the mouse out of the Spell Selectors bounds to close it without selecting anything.
    - The spell selector (incl. the pet spells) does work in AND out of combat.
    - The spell selector currently shows only spells that where available before combat. So, if a pet is summoned before combat starts, then the pets spells are shown. If a pet is summoned during combat, then not. (the next version will show all spells ... no matter when a pet was summoned)
- Added new button types:
    - Micro Menu buttons (dragging out of combat only; drawable from an to any BAB button)
    - Bag buttons (dragging out of combat only; drawable from an to any BAB button)
    - Pet buttons (dragging out of combat only; not drawable FROM a BAB button, only from the spell book TO a BAB button and via the Spell Selector)
- Added a new option "Bar Type" (Bar Options > Bar). This option does convert the currently selected bar from a standard action bar to the specified bar type.
    - THIS FEATURE IS WORK IN PROGRESS. THERE CAN BE BUGS. DONT USE IT (STICK WITH STANDARD BARS) IF YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH THEM. :)
    - The default value is "Standard Bar". Other values are "Micro menu Bar", Bag Bar", and "Pet Bar" (the rest of them is disabled for now).
    - Setting a bar to a new type will reset the bar to the new bar type and add some default buttons to the bar.
        - Standard Bar: An empty bar
        - Micro Menue Bar: the micro buttons
        - Bag Bar: guess what :D
        - Pet Bar: default actions for your currently active pet. No default values if there's not pet.
    - The Pet Bar has a special behavior:
        - On summoning a pet the first time shows standard actions for pets and the pet family).
        - On summoning a pet that was already summoned before it shows the contents that where there the last time you summoned the pet.
Changed:
- Patch 6.0.2 changes:
    - DRUIDS:
        - With 6.0.2 the shapeshift forms are consolidated. This will affect your States with [form:x] conditions.
                Old: 1 Bear 2 Aquatic 3 Cat 4 Travel 5 Moonkin/Tree 6 Flight
                New: 1 Bear 2 Cat 3 Aquatic/Travel/Flight 4 Moonkin/Tree
            BAB updates the affected States automatically FOR CHARACTER SPECIFIC profiles of Druids. (global profiles are not updated automatically, as the your be in use for other classes than druids!)
            But as former tree states are consolidated into one new it could happen that there are multiple States with equal [form:x] conditions after the update.
                Example: the old States "[form:2 (Aquatic)][Custom Bar Page] and [form:4 (Travel)][Custom Bar Page]" will be updated to "[form:3 (Travel/Flight/Aquatic)][Custom Bar Page] and [form:4 (Travel/Flight/Aquatic)][Custom Bar Page]". The updated version does not make that much sense. :)
            So, have a look at your States after the first load with 6.0.2 and see if they are still as desired.
    - WARRIORS:
        - Removed the Berserker Stance from the conditions list.
- New Texture Pack released (3.0 - http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info22792-BABTexturePack.html). BAB does work with older texture packs, but will complian about it on login. ;)
- Slightly increased the bar anchor height for new bars (and resetted bars) from 50 to 70 to points provide some more space to click the anchor with an unmodified new bar.

Fixed:
- Fixed a bug with permancent circle bars and button size below 50 and auto buttons where the bar wasn't correctly filled with buttons.
- Fixed a performance leak with permanent circle bars (with large circles/many buttons). Changing the circle size now has a MUCH better performance.
- Fixed a bug with broken spell icons (eg. Priest Leap of Faith)
- Fixed a bug with characters without dual specs.
- Fixed a bug with range checks for spells.
- Fixed a bug that was causing flickering cooldown textures.
- Fixed a bug with the yellow separating-lines in the options window. They should now be proper visible with all resolutions and scales.
- Fixed a but with link OR and condition 2 (condition 2 could not be set to a form if condition 1 was a form and link was OR).

  • Small curve radius is not handled. The buttons shape is resticted to a minimum curve radius. If a curves radius gets smaller than this min radius the button is not shaped further than the min radius. The reason for this is that the Blizzard API does not support unlimeted texture transformations. I know of two possible workarounds that are both hard to implement. So I'm not sure if/when I'll address this. Besides that I think there is not much use for a smaller curve radius as the current minimum radius.
  • Button placement is not correct (padding to small/big for some buttons). I know, I know. It's a complex problem. :/
  • Button type 'pet action' (pet spells) not implemented yet. I'll ignore pet spells until BAB becomes a full replacement for the Blizzard action bars (don't know if this will ever happen - depends on you).
  • FloatingBG is shown before the icon if Masque is installed but deactivated for a bar. I have no idea why. :( Just deactivate Masque if you don't use it. ;D
