v3.1.1

Fixes

• Added Nethercleft Leg Armor as a recommended leg enchant for Protection Paladin (was only listing Runic Spellthread).

v3.1.0

• Fixed dropdown indentation inconsistency across all dropdown menus.

• GitHub repository permissions locked down (branch protection, Actions visibility, fork workflow restrictions).

v2.1.0

New Features

• Faction Support: Detects player faction and filters BiS lists to show only faction-appropriate items. Items in SourceDB can be tagged with a faction field ("Alliance" or "Horde"); untagged items are available to both.
• Multi-Character Management: Characters on the same WoW account can view and edit each other's wishlists. A character selector dropdown at the top of the addon window lets you switch between characters.
• Gear Snapshots: Each character's equipped gear is saved when they log in or change equipment, allowing other characters to see their gear on the Compare tab.
• Per-Character Settings: Spec selection, data source, and wishlist auto-filter are now saved per-character instead of account-wide.

Changes

• SavedVariables restructured: BiSGearCheckSaved is account-wide (character registry, wishlists, tooltip settings), BiSGearCheckChar is per-character (spec, data source, filters).
• Automatic migration from pre-2.1.0 saved data format.
• Added .pkgmeta and GitHub Actions workflow for CurseForge packaging.

v2.0.0

• Initial release with Compare, Wishlists, and BiS Lists tabs.
