What's new
This release focuses on making guide sending reliable, giving raids and dungeons independent difficulty defaults, and appending a short addon credit line after every guide you send. What's New Addon Credit Line
- After each guide is sent, one extra chat line is appended in the same channel, naming the addon and telling your group where to get it.
- It is generated in code at send time — your guide data is never modified, so custom edits, per-difficulty overrides and sentence splits are all untouched.
- Applies to every instance and every difficulty. There is intentionally no option to turn it off.
- Localized for zhCN / zhTW / enUS. Separate Difficulty Defaults for Raids and Dungeons
- Raids and dungeons / Mythic+ now have independent default difficulty settings (previously a single shared setting). Raid defaults to Heroic, dungeon / M+ defaults to Mythic+.
- New Inherit lower difficulties option for raids: choose whether a raid shows only the selected difficulty's text, or falls back to lower tiers when the selected one is empty. Defaults to off (show the selected difficulty only).
- Existing saved settings are migrated automatically on first load. Channel Fallback When Sending
- The target channel is now validated against your actual group (party / raid / instance / guild) before sending. If it is not available, the addon falls back to a valid channel and tells you which one it used — previously the message could be silently dropped.
- The fallback warning now names the channel you originally picked, not the one it fell back to. Serialized Sending
- Multi-part guides are now sent through a queue (~0.35s apart) instead of a tight loop, so they are no longer dropped by the chat throttle (~2 messages/sec) and no longer arrive out of order.
- Guides sent while in combat are queued and automatically flushed once combat ends (WoW 12.0+ blocks addon chat during combat); queued duplicates for the same boss + channel are merged. Editor Responsiveness
- Rebuilding the guide table is now debounced (0.4s idle). Typing in the editor no longer stutters or drops characters on long texts. Content
- Updated Heroic strategies for the 12.1 raid.
- Refreshed Mythic+ (current season) strategies.
- Re-split all guide sentences to stay within the 255-byte chat limit while keeping paragraphs as long as possible, instead of chopping them into short fragments. Fixes
- Fixed the settings-panel hook only being applied to the first frame instance, which could leave later panels unresponsive.
- Fixed HasCurrentMapGuide referencing an undefined global.
- Fixed localization keys silently falling back to raw English keys when a translation was missing. Compatibility
- Content coverage unchanged: 125 native 5-player dungeons (1.0 – 12.0), 8 Mythic+ Current dungeons, and raid guides for 13 tiers (439 bosses).
- Compatible with WoW Retail 12.0 / 12.1 (.toc interface 120005–120200; 12.2-safe).
- Ships with embedded Ace3 libraries — works fully offline. Credits Thanks to nga_以德报德 (original author), the WA / guide authors, and data sources Wowhead / Icy-Veins / 17173 / NGA. Full credit list in the README. Feedback & bug reports: https://gitee.com/fenei/BossTips
