What's new

# Changelog

## 1.4.0
- **Retail only.** Dropped Classic Era, Burning Crusade Classic, and Mists of Pandaria Classic support to focus on Retail (Midnight). The TOC now declares a single Interface version instead of juggling per-flavor lines.
- **Fix:** Spell School color mode actually works now. `C_Spell.GetSpellSchools` was never a real Blizzard API — it doesn't exist — so school coloring has silently fallen back to the plain cast/channel color since this mode was introduced in 1.1.0. School detection now reads the school straight off your own combat log entries (the only place the client exposes it) and caches it per spell. Caveat: Midnight masks combat log data during boss encounters and Mythic+ runs, so a spell's very first cast in one of those won't pick up its color until it's also been cast outside of one.
- **Fix:** The AutoCast Shine sparkle no longer silently disables itself. Blizzard renamed `AutoCastShineTemplate` to `AutoCastOverlayTemplate` on Retail 12.x; the addon now probes for the template that actually exists instead of hard-coding the retired name.
- **Updated:** TOC interface number bumped to 120100 (current Retail).
- **CI:** Bumped `actions/checkout` to v5 in the release workflow ahead of GitHub's Node 20 runner removal.

## 1.3.0
- **Fix:** LSM textures now display correctly as a ring shape. A `MaskTexture` clips any fill texture to the ring outline, so statusbar textures from ElvUI/SharedMedia show through the ring shape rather than as a solid rectangle
- **New:** "Ring shape only (no fill)" option — uses just the circle outline with color/gradient, no texture fill
- **New:** Sparkle direction toggle — clockwise or counter-clockwise orbit
- **New:** Sparkle type selector: Simple Dot, AutoCast Shine (Blizzard's spinning autocast dots), or Proc Glow (Blizzard's spell-alert shimmer burst)
- **New:** Sparkle count (1–4 simultaneous dots in Dot mode)
- **New:** Sparkle size control

## 1.2.0
- LibSharedMedia-3.0 integration for fonts and textures
- Gradient color mode with optional cast animation
- AceGUI-3.0-SharedMediaWidgets for picker dropdowns

## 1.1.0
- Sweep mode rewritten using WoW native Cooldown widget
- Spell school color mode
- Font selector for spell label

## 1.0.0
