Changelog

0.11.0 - 2026-06-17

Added

• Computed leveling recommendations backed by the audited item stat corpus, with race-aware scoring and fallback item names and quality for rows outside the canonical item list.

Changed

• Leveling recommendations now suppress invalid projectile and relic rows while preserving valid ammo for ranged-weapon classes and hunter quiver support.
• Leveling recommendations now cap at level 69 so level-70 raid and endgame items stay out of the leveling view.
• /bbl status now reports both guide-backed leveling rows and computed leveling recommendations.
• Recommendation audit output is concise by default, with full warning detail available through --verbose.

Fixed

• Recommendation-only detail titles now use fallback item quality.
• Unknown race filtering now matches generic leveling recommendations without also matching race-specific overrides.

0.10.0 - 2026-06-14

Added

• Leveling gear recommendations from audited Wowhead leveling guide snapshots, with a dedicated Leveling phase view, level filtering, source notes, ownership state, wishlist actions, and detail-drawer context.
• Canonical leveling_gear data generation and validation, including item references, level bounds, source URLs, duplicate checks, and class/spec coverage.

Changed

• Leveling mode now uses compact arrow and numeric level controls clamped to levels 1-70.

0.9.1 - 2026-06-14

Fixed

• Restored eager rendering for the loaded item list so scrolling no longer rebuilds visible rows and hitches during item-list navigation.

0.9.0 - 2026-06-14

Changed

• Class and spec selection now re-detects from the current character on addon load and reload while preserving other saved filters.
• Talent retry events now allow spec detection to update after login when talent data becomes available.

Fixed

• Druid Feral Combat talent detection now maps to the Feral dps list instead of falling back to another Druid spec.
• Owned-upgrade filtering now follows the actual-upgrade planner mode without a separate owned-upgrade toggle.

0.8.0 - 2026-06-09

Added

• Multi-select filter facets for source context, including cost, vendor, zone, and reputation criteria where source data supports them.
• Actual-upgrade filtering on the upgrades tab so planner targets can focus on items that improve over equipped or already owned slot baselines.

Fixed

• BiS variant classification and display labels now preserve top-choice variants such as threat, mitigation, raid DPS, and personal DPS while keeping alternatives classified separately.
• Updated generated data for the reviewed BiS variant corrections.

0.7.0 - 2026-06-08

Added

• Phase-aware source filtering so source, zone, reputation, and related filters reflect the selected content phase more accurately.
• Runtime data compaction and lazy rendering paths to reduce addon memory use and avoid building unused UI rows.
• Player class and spec detection for first-run default selection when the saved character selection is still on the built-in fallback.

Fixed

• PvP-primary items can retain raid token turn-in alternate source evidence for acquisition summaries and validation coverage.

0.6.0 - 2026-06-06

Added

• Current-phase awareness so phase-based views can distinguish the active content phase from future phases.
• Character-specific current addon state, allowing per-character selections and runtime state to remain independent.

Changed

• Validation now checks canonical phase current-state metadata.
• Refreshed generated Lua for the current phase metadata update.

0.5.0 - 2026-06-01

Added

• Quest starter provenance for BiS-relevant quest rewards gated by raid drops, including starter item aliases for tooltip matching.
• Acquisition-phase and source-filter handling for quest rewards that depend on starter item drops.
• Validation coverage for quest starter source evidence and duplicate BiS rows.

Changed

• Tooltip summaries now deduplicate equivalent matches, group weapon slots more cleanly, and collapse consecutive phase ranges where the rank is unchanged.
• ALT tooltip expansion now shows the full grouped summary instead of switching back to raw repeated rows.

Data Quality

• Added reviewed quest starter overrides for Ancient Petrified Leaf, Heart of Hakkar, Eye of C'Thun, The Phylactery of Kel'Thuzad, Magtheridon's Head, and Verdant Sphere reward chains.
• Removed duplicate Hunter BiS entries that repeated identical item/context rows across weapon and waist slots.
• Refreshed generated Lua from the audited canonical data set.

0.2.0 - 2026-05-28

Added

• Tooltip settings for choosing exactly which class/spec matches should appear.
• Grouped tooltip summaries that collapse repeated phase matches by class, spec, and slot while preserving ALT expansion for full details.
• Gear, planner, source, reputation, and access-path UI hardening from the prerelease data cleanup work.
• Internal release governance and a local deploy script for Anniversary client smoke testing.

Changed

• Big BiS tooltip annotations now stay on the primary item tooltip frames to avoid interfering with comparison and auxiliary tooltip layouts.
• Tooltip callbacks are protected so Big BiS errors cannot break the tooltip hook chain.
• Settings class/spec filter headers align class labels with their All/None controls.

Data Quality

• Normalized source and reputation data used by acquisition filters and access checks.
• Refreshed generated Lua from the audited canonical data set.

0.1.0 - Release

Initial public release for Big BiS List. This release targets TBC Anniversary only using WoW interface 20505.

Added

• In-game TBC Anniversary BiS browser for class, spec, phase, and slot lists.
• Gear, planner, enhance, wishlist, and settings tabs.

• Minimap button and slash commands: /bbl, /bigbis, /bbl status, /bbl settings, and /bbltest.
• Bank cache support after opening the bank.
• Wishlist and ignored-item saved variables.
• Gem, enchant, consumable, and leveling reference data.
• Source-aware acquisition paths, including drops, vendors, quests, crafted items, token turn-ins, reputation gates, profession gates, and tradeable alternatives.
• Audited generated data from local Wowhead TBC snapshots.
• CurseForge-compatible root addon layout for repository webhook packaging.

Data Quality

• Corrected nested Wowhead table parsing so child rows are not imported under parent slots.
• Added weapon, off-hand, two-hand, ranged, ammo, quiver, and relic-aware slot derivation.
• Preserved Best, ranked, PvP, situational, and unrealistic rank groups.
• Removed duplicate same-item BiS rows from canonical lists.

• Planner priority is heuristic and not simulation-backed.
• Leveling data is reference guidance, not a full route.
• Bank ownership requires opening the bank once per character.
