ChatPing – v1.3.0

Added

  • Added intelligent chat-tab flashing per chat type. Tabs now flash on the actual chat frame that receives the message (Whisper, Instance, Party, Guild, etc.), instead of always flashing the General tab.

  • Added support for tab flash duration = 0, which causes the tab to flash until it is viewed.

  • Added automatic snapping so near-zero values cleanly resolve to exactly 0 for reliable “until viewed” behavior.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the first incoming Whisper would not flash unless the user clicked between chat tabs.

  • Fixed tab flashing continuing while already viewing the relevant chat tab.

  • Fixed tab flashes stopping incorrectly when multiple chat frames were flashing at the same time.

  • Fixed incorrect tab flashing when chat types were routed to non-default chat windows.

Improved

  • Tab flash timers are now tracked per chat frame, preventing one chat event from cancelling another.

  • Improved compatibility with custom chat layouts and multi-window chat setups.

  • Improved overall reliability of glow + tab alert behavior in real gameplay scenarios.

Behavior Changes

  • Tabs will no longer flash if you are already viewing the chat frame where the message appears.

  • Glow and tab alerts now behave consistently regardless of message order (e.g., Whisper → Instance → Party).
