What's Changed in 1.0.13

Tracker Frame & Appearance Customization

• Authentic Classic Borders: Added selectable border styles under /bfq > Appearance:
  • Blizzard Tooltip: Classic World of Warcraft rounded corner borders with authentic corner slices and insets.
  • Blizzard Dialog: Ornate classic window border styling.
  • Blizzard Toast: Soft alert window borders.
  • Sleek Modern Flat: Clean 1px modern glassmorphism border.
  • Borderless: Clean floating display with no perimeter border.
• Background Textures: Select between Solid, Blizzard Tooltip Dark, Marble, Rock, and Parchment surfaces.
• Zero-Reload Appearance Engine: Re-architected backdrop generation so border adjustments, corner sizing, textures, and color pickers update instantaneously on your screen without requiring a UI reload.

Wayfinder Navigation: Imperial & Metric Units

• Distance Measurement Selector: Added an option under /bfq > Wayfinder to toggle between:
  • Imperial: Distances displayed in yards (yd) and miles (mi).
  • Metric: Distances displayed in meters (m) and kilometers (km).
• Universal Application: Units dynamically update across the 360-degree floating HUD arrow, map pin tooltips, and chat destination announcements.

DataBars Overhaul: XP Ghost Bar, Timers & Appearance

• All Active Quests XP Overlay: Added an optional ghost bar under /bfq > DataBars (Show All Quests XP) calculating total combined XP across all active quests in your log, filling smoothly behind completed turn-in XP and earned player XP.
• Cleaner Ding Ready Alert: Re-formatted the turn-in readiness alert to display clean percentages: [DING READY!] 75.0% + 30.0%, hiding raw numbers to keep your interface clean and readable.
• DataBars Visual Customization: Every databar (XP Bar, Location Bar, Timer Bar) now features independent border styling (Tooltip, Dialog, Toast, Flat, None), statusbar textures, background colors, and border colors.
• Dedicated Quest Timer Bar:
  • Enabled by default for plug-and-play tracking of timed deliveries and escort quests.
  • Automatically hides when tracking non-timed quests and reappears when swapping back to a timed quest.
  • Dynamic urgency color shifts across the bar fill and border (gold when safe, amber at 2 minutes, pulsing red under 60 seconds).
  • Saved duration persistence ensures remaining quest time does not reset when reloading UI.

Combat Lockdown Hardening & Taint Elimination

• Protected Button Pass-Through Fix: Resolved a Blizzard action-blocked error (Button:SetPassThroughButtons()) that occurred when opening the World Map during combat.
• Isolated Overlay Pins: Moved custom map waypoint pins to an isolated overlay canvas and protected map updates with combat lockdown guards, eliminating interface taint during battlegrounds and PvP encounters.

Quest Failure Alerts

• Instant [FAILED] Detection: Built-in quest failure monitoring tags failed or expired quests with an unmistakable red [FAILED] label on the quest header and status line.
• Cache Cleanup: Expired or failed quests are immediately cleared from active timer displays.

Party Announcements & Automation

• Independent Chat Toggles: Added separate controls under /bfq > Social & Automation for group announcements:
  • Announce Quest Completion ([BFQ] Completed: [Quest Title]).
  • Announce Objective Completion ([BFQ] [Quest Title]: [Objective] (Complete)).
  • Announce Objective Step Progress ([BFQ] [Quest Title]: [Objective] (N/X)).

Performance & Reliability

• Micro-Stutter Elimination: Converted quest item bag scanning to an event-driven bag cache, removing periodic inventory sweeps and eliminating micro-stutters in high-quest zones.
• Blizzard Watch Synchronization: Hardened quest watch APIs so retracking quests in the default Quest Log immediately restores them on the tracker.
• Untracked Quests Recovery: Added a "Reset Untracked Quests" action under /bfq > General to easily restore all hidden quests.
