Bigticket Frames v1.3.99

Performance Improvements & Stability Update

This release focuses on reducing unnecessary processing, improving target-switching performance and making Party Targets more efficient, particularly during busy combat.

Buffs & Debuffs

• Significantly reduced processing overhead when switching between targets.
• Target and Target of Target can now reuse previously configured buff and debuff containers instead of repeatedly rebuilding them.
• Reduced the noticeable performance spikes that could occur during rapid target changes.
• Preserved Blizzard's native aura handling, filtering and combat protections.
• Improved the management of native aura containers to avoid unnecessary reconstruction.

Party Targets

• Significantly reduced unnecessary Party Targets refreshes during combat.
• Health updates are now intelligently grouped together instead of triggering repeated full updates.
• Reduced background processing when Party Targets is disabled or not applicable.
• Preserved immediate target changes, clickable target frames, health updates, names and target markers.
• Retained the existing fallback system for reliable follower-dungeon target detection.

Performance Results

In-game testing showed substantial improvements:

• Approximately 80% less Party Targets processing time in the measured combat captures.
• Major reductions in Aura processing overhead during target switching.
• Significantly fewer expensive Aura updates, resulting in smoother performance during the tested encounters.

Results will vary depending on combat activity, group composition and target-switching frequency.

General Stability

• Preserved existing frame designs, profiles and settings.
• No configuration resets or migrations required.
• No changes to the appearance of existing frames.
• Existing Aura Studio, dispel highlighting, Marks bar and other established functionality remain unchanged.

The focus of this update is straightforward: less unnecessary work, smoother targeting and better overall efficiency without changing how Bigticket Frames looks or operates.
