DeathNotificationLib

V9 — 2026-03-06

Bug Fixes

• Fixed HardcoreDeaths channel displacing General/Trade/LocalDefense to higher slot numbers — the channel is now joined with a delay and only if not already a member, so system channels keep their default positions
• Death alert messages now fall back to locale defaults when the user hasn't customized them, preventing nil errors
• Death alert frame initialization guards prevent errors when the frame hasn't been created yet
• Fixed protocol escape/unescape to properly handle nil and return correct types
• Fixed safeSendChannel to use C_ChatInfo.SendChatMessage instead of the deprecated SendChatMessage global

Improvements

• NPC ID lookup now handles multi-ID entries via resolveId() (for NPCs with multiple IDs across expansions)
• Watchlist icon is now provided by host addon via watchlistIconProvider callback in AttachAddon, instead of accessing host globals directly
• AttachAddon accepts a new watchlistIconProvider callback field
• Death alert options parent category is now configurable via the death_alert_options_parent setting
• Faster channel join on login (0.5s delay, down from 5.0s)
