Changelog

Version 11 - October 13, 2026

Updated

• Updated interface compatibility to Retail 12.1.5 only (120105).
• Hide Blizzard's tracked-bar source by parking it offscreen without hiding its rows, reapply the park after native layout changes, and restore its original position and alpha through the compatibility setting after reload.
• Keep active aura, totem, and equipment fills on the configured active color and let native duration bindings format timers without addon countdown polling.
• Reduced repeated source scans, duration/style writes, and event-registration work; reuse the queued rescan callback and refresh mount/travel visibility only when its state changes.
• Simplified shared Settings and per-bar Edit Mode controls while retaining their existing options and overrides.

Fixed

• Read only an already-built, clean Cooldown Viewer provider snapshot, avoiding lazy getters that rebuild and taint shared Blizzard viewer data; retain the catalog while an update is pending.
• Filter catalog rows without a usable spell or equipment identity and keep items left in Blizzard's automatic Items section out of inactive tracked bars.
• Retain and validate totem-slot identity after Blizzard clears its row slot, preventing stale fills or reused slots from extending active state.
• Select aura versus equipment rendering from the live source identity and preserve native transformed aura names, tooltips, and timeless-aura label fallbacks.
• Defer restricted AuraButton style updates until access returns without recreating containers or refreshing every source event, and isolate container-creation failures so other bars still render and the failed bar can recover later.

Version 10 - August 22, 2026

Fixed

• Improved Cooldown Viewer compatibility by removing source-row mouse mutations and root-frame size hooks that could taint Blizzard's refresh lifecycle and produce secret-value errors.
• Prevented repeated hidden-source alpha writes during state scans and projected Blizzard Cooldown Viewer anchor positions onto UIParent to avoid persistent frame-anchor dependencies during secret-aware visibility and layout transitions.
• Added one-time startup repair for the required Cooldown Viewer Edit Mode setting, with combat deferral, reload-after-save handling, and a manual fallback if the change does not stick.
• Improved tracked-bar active-state refreshes by resolving each BTB bar directly from its live Blizzard source rows.
• Filtered unavailable anchor choices for disabled BetterCooldownManager bars and hidden SenseiClassResourceBar layouts.
• Hardened secret-safe Cooldown Viewer method access and preserved projected root dimensions when bars use viewer anchors.
• Aligned application-count overlays to the icon corner across active bars and BTB-owned previews.

Updated

• Expanded migration for legacy profile and imported style settings, including text sizes, visibility, text positions, textures, and application-count sizing.

Version 9 - August 11, 2026

Added

• Added an option to show or hide Better Tracked Bars in the addon compartment menu.
• Added configurable timer-tenths breakpoints for timed bars, including per-bar overrides.
• Added an option to disable the pandemic refresh-window glow globally or per bar.
• Added an account-wide option to leave Blizzard tracked-bar alpha under Blizzard or another addon's control for improved compatibility.
• Added a sticky live bar preview to Blizzard Settings, including an active/inactive preview toggle.
• Added an option to hide Better Tracked Bars and their previews from Edit Mode.
• Added optional EllesmereUI parent anchors for Player/Target frames, CDM bars, and action bars.

Updated

• Updated Better Keystone Display for Midnight (12.1.0).
• Reworked active tracked-bar rendering to use Blizzard AuraContainer or duration bindings on BTB-owned rows instead of attaching native Cooldown Viewer rows.
• Changed application-count sizing to an icon-relative percentage so it scales consistently across runtime bars and the Settings preview, and enabled application counts by default.
• Updated name and duration-timer positioning to offer Left, Center, and Right while automatically swapping the other text element away from an occupied position.
• Updated the Edit Mode settings dialog to open opposite the selected bar and retain manual placement for the current Edit Mode session.
• Renamed BetterTrackedBars to Better Tracked Bars in the Settings list.
• Changed Reset Profile to also restore all Edit Mode bar positions to their defaults.

Removed

• Removed the redundant custom solid status-bar asset; existing profiles using it migrate to LibSharedMedia's Solid texture.
• Removed the obsolete ArcUI incompatibility warning.
