Changelog

[0.13.1] — 2026-08-30

Fixed

• Enchants were called wrong on five slots out of six — the recommendation is picked by matching an enchant's stat against your spec's stat priority, but Midnight puts Speed, Leech and Avoidance on Helm, Shoulders and Boots, primary stats on Chest, and procs on Weapon, and a stat priority lists none of those. The match only ever succeeded on Rings; every other slot quietly fell back to the first entry in the catalogue and then flagged whatever you were actually wearing. Those slots now show your enchant plainly instead of warning about it, and the tooltip says there is no spec-based pick rather than naming a default as though it were advice.
• Rings flagged half of the correct choices — Midnight ships two enchant families for every secondary stat, and the tie-break between them was alphabetical order, so wearing the sibling of an equally good enchant read as a mistake. Families sitting at the same place in your stat priority now count as a match.
• Rank was reported only for the recommended enchant — sitting on a lower crafting rank is worth knowing whichever family you picked. The rank line and the (R1) suffix now follow the enchant you are wearing.
• Tooltip put the wrong stat name on your enchant — the label came from the recommended enchant, so an enchant from a different family had someone else's stat printed beside its value.

[0.13.0] — 2026-08-28

Added

• Enchant evaluation — the Enchant column now judges what you are wearing instead of just naming it. A max-rank enchant that suits your spec shows green, a lower crafting rank shows which rank you are on, an off-list enchant is flagged, and an unenchanted slot reads as missing.
• Enchant tooltip — hovering the column gives the enchant's name, its rank out of the family, the stat it grants and how many points it is worth on that specific item, plus the recommended enchant when yours differs. The value is measured from your own item rather than a stored number, so it stays right at any item level.
• Gem evaluation — a socketed gem that is not the recommended one gets a warning ring, and empty sockets are drawn as visible placeholders instead of showing nothing at all.
• Enchant and gem catalogues — addon/data/enchants.lua (37 enchants across Helm, Shoulders, Chest, Boots, Ring and Weapon) and addon/data/gems.lua, both generated from game data for Midnight Season 2.
• Per-spec enchant overrides — a spec file can pin a chosen enchant per slot through an enchants = {} block, which the data audit validates against the catalogue.

Fixed

• Tooltips on the Enchant and BiS columns never appeared — both hover areas were pinned to the corners of a text label, and a label has no height until it holds text, so the areas could be zero pixels tall and never registered the mouse. Both now set their height outright.
• Enchant tooltip raised a hidden error — the column asked the game for an enchant tooltip, but no such thing exists in the API; the failed call aborted the hover before anything could be drawn.

[0.12.1] — 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Crest bar tracked Season 1 currencies — The bar had Season 1's Dawncrest currency IDs hardcoded. Blizzard mints a fresh set of crests each season and moves the previous one to a hidden category, but the game keeps reporting your frozen last-season totals for hidden currencies, so the bar showed stale numbers instead of failing outright. It now tracks Midnight Season 2's Mistcrests, from Adventurer through Myth.
• Crest drop sources — Rewritten to match Season 2: The Venomous Abyss named per difficulty, Mythic 0 dungeons added to Champion, and Trovehunter's Bounty added to Veteran, Champion, and Hero.
• Crest visibility settings — Currency IDs introduced by a season change now default to shown, so the bar no longer disappears after updating. Per-tier choices you already made are preserved.

Changed

• Interface version — Bumped to 120100 for WoW patch 12.1.0, clearing the "out of date" flag in the addon list.

[0.12.0] — 2026-08-22

Changed

• BiS Gear Data — Fully updated all 40 class specializations to Midnight Season 2 data from Wowhead. DR caps left untouched (manually tuned).
• Stat Priority — Updated for 12 specs where Season 2 reordered them: Augmentation and Devastation Evoker, Arcane Mage, Mistweaver Monk (Mythic+ only), Protection and Retribution Paladin, Discipline Priest, Holy Priest (Mythic+ only), Subtlety Rogue, Enhancement and Restoration Shaman.
• Mythic+ Loot Browser — Rebuilt for the Season 2 dungeon rotation: Altar of Fangs, Den of Nalorakk, Kings' Rest, Murder Row, Ruby Life Pools, Temple of Sethraliss, The Blinding Vale, and Voidscar Arena (223 items).
• Raid Loot Browser — Now covers all seven current-season raids, including the new The Venomous Abyss (216 items total).
• Mythic item level — Bumped from 272 to 318 (Myth 1/6 in Season 2), affecting Loot Browser entries and the "Mythic ilvl" tooltip line.
• Raid fetch tooling — fetch_raid_loot.py now discovers current-season raids from the "Current Season" journal expansion instead of a hardcoded instance list, so future seasons no longer need a code edit.
• Loot export tooling — BiS_Helper_LootExport now clears the Encounter Journal's slot and class filters and scans both Mythic difficulties before reading loot; generate_loot_lua.py gained --whitelist-ignore-slots, used for trinkets because the in-game journal export returns only one of the season's 27.

Fixed

• Wowhead scraper slot mapping — Added cape, shield, main-hand, off-hand, one hand, and two hand to WOWHEAD_SLOT_MAP; guides using these labels previously had the item silently dropped.
• Pipe characters in item sources — Wowhead lists multiple sources as Catalyst|Raid|Vault; | starts an escape sequence in WoW's UI markup and broke rendering. Now normalized to / on import.

[0.11.2] — 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Copy Popup Nil Error — Moved SetupBackdrop and SetBackdropColors helper functions before CreateCopyPopup in BiS_Helper.lua to fix attempt to call a nil value error when clicking an item in Loot Browser or Item ID popup.

[0.11.1] — 2026-07-17

Fixed

• Taint errors in combat — Fixed attempt to perform arithmetic on a secret number value errors by untainting GetCombatRating() and container:GetWidth() variables properly, allowing safe stats checks during combat.
• Gem Parsing — Replaced removed C_Item.GetItemGem API calls with direct item link string parsing to restore gem detection in equipment.
• Memory Optimization — Optimized GET_ITEM_INFO_RECEIVED caching logic to drastically reduce memory garbage generation and micro-stutters during gameplay.

[0.11.0] — 2026-07-04

Changed

• BiS Gear & Stat Priority Data — Fully updated all 40 class specializations to the latest Midnight Season 1 data from Wowhead.
• Blizzard API Integration — Automated fetching and matching for missing item IDs to ensure correct item names.

Fixed

• Demonology Warlock Guide parsing — Resolved a bug where unclosed BBCode table tags in the author's bio caused parsing failures.
• Arms & Fury Warrior Guide parsing — Fixed issues with custom table column headers ("Item Slot", "Name") and added missing slot mappings ("helm", "mainhand") to ensure successful parsing.

Changed

• Interface version bumped to 120005 for WoW 12.0.5 compatibility

Changed

• Mythic ilvl in tooltips — BiS item tooltips and Loot Browser tooltips display "Mythic ilvl: 272" line
