Cooldown Master

1.12.0 (2026-08-21) — German makes six, and the potion that wore the wrong name

New Features

• German (deDE). Cooldown Master now ships in German, complete — every options label, tooltip, message and popup. It joins French, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, so six languages are covered end to end. Contributed through the shared translation store by Stonetwist.
• The translators are credited on the About tab. The people whose work Cooldown Master inherited through the shared store now appear by name under Translations, with a note about which part of the text is actually theirs.

Bug Fixes

• A potion could spend its whole cooldown wearing another potion's name. Every potion shares one cooldown, so Cooldown Master works out which one to show from the potion you actually drank. That knowledge did not survive a /reload or a login — so if a potion cooldown was still running, it fell back to picking whichever potion had the lowest item ID and kept that name for the rest of the run. It now remembers which potion started the cooldown and picks it back up.
• Unequipping an on-use trinket no longer announces it as ready. Taking the trinket off mid-cooldown popped a ready box for it, minutes early.
• /cm tracking no longer fills your chat with Lua errors on retail. It samples the global cooldown and swing timer, which are Classic-only features, and it asked you to be in combat to do it — where retail will not hand those numbers to addons at all. It now says so and stops.
• Closed a rare Lua error that could break cooldown tracking for the rest of a session. A cast whose spell ID retail declines to reveal was being used as a lookup key, which could poison the table Cooldown Master tracks your spells in.
• Corrected the Simplified Chinese credit in the v1.10.0 entry below.
