2.3.7

Fix: Tooltip Errors in WoW 12.x

Fixed tooltip errors when hovering certain world objects.

What's Fixed

Tooltip Compatibility 🛡️

• Fixed Tooltip Errors: No more "secret value" errors when hovering world objects
• WoW 12.x Compatible: Handles new economic data protection gracefully

What Was Happening?

WoW 12.x now protects certain tooltip data (like sell prices) as "secret values". BookArchivist's tooltip system now safely skips these protected values instead of throwing errors.

2.3.6

Fix: Taint Error with Other Addons

Fixed a taint issue that caused ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN errors when using BookArchivist alongside other addons like RareScanner.

What's Fixed

Addon Compatibility 🔧

• Fixed Taint Error: BookArchivist no longer causes "ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN" errors
• Works with RareScanner: Fixed issue where clicking RareScanner frames would trigger protected function errors
• Better Hook Safety: Chat link handling now uses hooksecurefunc to avoid taint

What Was Happening?

A defensive code pattern (SlashCmdList = SlashCmdList or {}) was accidentally tainting the global slash command table. This caused WoW to blame BookArchivist when other addons tried to use protected functions like SetRaidTarget.

2.3.5

Fix: Smaller Download Size

Removed test files that were accidentally included in the CurseForge release.

What's Fixed

Packaging Fix 📦

• Removed Test Files: The tests folder is no longer included in the release
• Smaller Download: Release package is now lighter without development test files

2.3.4

Hotfix: Fresh Install Fix

Fixed an issue where the addon incorrectly detected database corruption on brand new installations.

What's Fixed

Fresh Install 🆕

• Fixed Corruption Popup: New users no longer see a false "Database Corruption Detected" message
• Proper Initialization: The addon now correctly creates a fresh database on first install
• No Data Loss: This was a false positive - no actual corruption occurred

2.3.3

Hotfix: Dev Options UI Leak

This is a minor hotfix for developers running BookArchivist in development mode.

What's Fixed

Dev Mode Button Fix 🔧

• Fixed UI Leak: The "Reset all read counts" button (dev mode only) no longer appears in other addons' options panels
• Proper Scoping: Button now correctly shows only when viewing BookArchivist's options
• Note: This only affects users running the addon with development files loaded

2.3.2

Book Echo 💬

Experience your books with personality! After reading, you'll see contextual flavor text that adds charm to your library experience:

2.2.0

New Feature: Random Book Discovery

What's New

Random Book Button 🎲

Discover books you might have forgotten! The new Random button opens a random book from your library and automatically:

• Shows the book in the Locations tab for geographic context
• Paginates to the exact page where the book appears
• Avoids showing the currently open book (unless it's your only book)

Perfect for rediscovering your collection or getting inspired by serendipitous finds!

UI Improvements

• Independent Pagination: Books and Locations tabs now maintain separate page numbers (no more confusion when switching between tabs)
• Fixed Pagination Bug: Locations tab now properly updates content when you change pages

Critical Bug Fix

• Restored Location Data Capture: Fixed a regression in v2.0.2 that broke location tracking for newly captured books. Books now correctly record where you found them again, and the Locations tab will populate properly for new captures.

Behind the Scenes

• Added 130+ new automated tests (total: 489 passing tests)
• Integrated advanced WoW API mocking for more reliable testing
• Added code coverage tracking to ensure quality
• Implemented LibDeflate compression for 75% smaller export strings
• Enhanced location system with 603 WoW zones for accurate context

Feedback Welcome

The Random Book feature is a fun new way to rediscover your collection! If you encounter any issues, please report them on CurseForge or GitHub.
