Decursive 12.1 Compatibility Patch - Changelog

v10.37

PvP Mode Chat Transitions

• Added chat/output notifications when Decursive enters or leaves PvP protected-aura mode.
• Added transition messages:
  • Decursive: PvP protected-aura mode ENABLED
  • Decursive: PvP protected-aura mode DISABLED
• Messages are only printed when the effective mode actually changes.
• Prevents repeated zone events from spamming the same message.
• Uses Decursive's existing output path so current chat/custom-frame output settings are respected.
• Manual changes between:
  • Automatic
  • Always On
  • Always Off can also announce a transition when the effective PvP mode changes.

---

v10.36

PvP Restricted Aura Mode

• Added a dedicated PvP protected-aura mode for WoW 12.1.
• Added a new configuration option:
  • Automatic (Battlegrounds / Arenas)
  • Always On
  • Always Off
• Default mode is Automatic.
• Automatic mode enables restricted PvP handling when WoW reports the instance type as:
  • pvp
  • arena
• Added mode refresh handling for entering/leaving PvP instances.
• While PvP restricted mode is active:
  • Legacy Decursive debuff coloring is suppressed.
  • Blizzard-managed strict priority indicators become the live affliction-color authority.
  • Priority #1 only displays for cure types mapped to Priority #1.
  • Priority #2 only displays for cure types mapped to Priority #2.
  • Priority #3 follows the same model when configured.
  • No generic protected-aura fallback to Priority #1/red.
  • Protected aura details are not directly inspected by addon Lua.
• Updated tooltip/status behavior for PvP restricted mode to avoid misleading legacy aura interpretation.
• Designed to reduce false positive red squares caused by protected PvP aura state.

---

v10.35

Strict Priority Filtering

• Reworked managed aura filtering so each priority only lights for the dispel types actually assigned to that priority.
• Removed fallback behavior where protected or generally dispellable auras could incorrectly appear as Priority #1/red.
• Priority filtering now follows Decursive's configured cure assignments.
• A protected aura that does not match a configured cure priority remains unlit instead of defaulting to red.
• Removed the broader managed priority-curve fallback from the live color path.
• Preserved Blizzard-managed protected aura handling without adding legacy aura scanning.

---

v10.34

Cure Range Fix

• Fixed the out-of-range color state not reliably appearing.
• Replaced generic UnitInRange()-only logic with checks based on Decursive's actual configured cure spells.
• A unit is treated as out of range when the relevant cure spell cannot reach that unit.
• Raised the Decursive-owned range overlay above the managed priority fill so the range state can visibly override the priority color.
• Preserved protected aura handling and avoided modifying Blizzard-managed aura buttons.

---

v10.33

Yellow Out-of-Range Default

• Changed the default out-of-range overlay color to yellow.
• Preserved all configurable range settings.
• Resetting the out-of-range color now restores yellow.
• Existing saved custom colors remain unchanged until reset.

---

v10.32

Configurable Out-of-Range Dimming

• Added configurable out-of-range visual settings under:
  • Micro Unit Frame Settings -> Display Options
• Added:
  • Dim MUFs when out of range
  • Out-of-range dim amount
  • Out-of-range overlay color
  • Reset out-of-range color
• Implemented the range visual with Decursive-owned overlay frames.
• Did not modify Blizzard-managed aura objects.
• Initial default used a dark overlay before changing to yellow in v10.33.

---

v10.31

Protected Aura Yellow

• Changed the protected-state tooltip color to yellow.
• Protected-state tooltip wording remains:
  • Aura state protected (WoW 12.1)
• No changes to curing, priority detection, or cooldown behavior.

---

v10.30

Protected Aura Purple

• Changed the protected-state tooltip color to a distinct purple/magenta.
• Used a unique protected-state color to separate it from normal status text and priority colors.
• This color was later changed to yellow in v10.31.

---

v10.29

Protected Aura Tooltip Fix

• Fixed misleading tooltip behavior where WoW 12.1 protected aura states could still display:
  • Normal
• Replaced the misleading legacy status with:
  • Aura state protected (WoW 12.1)
• Prevents Decursive from claiming a unit is normal when Blizzard-managed aura handling may still indicate a protected dispellable state.
• Left priority-color and cooldown behavior unchanged.

---

v10.28

Shared Priority Timer Fix

• Fixed the shared cooldown timer not appearing on other afflicted MUFs.
• Removed reliance on reading AuraSlot:IsShown() from Blizzard-managed aura objects.
• Reworked the shared cooldown display to use Blizzard-supported duration binding behavior.
• Added DurationTextBinding for the shared white countdown text.
• Continued using Blizzard engine-side priority filtering.
• Preserved:
  • Cleansed target clears its priority visual.
  • Cleansed target does not keep a stale faded cooldown square.
  • Other afflicted MUFs using the same priority can show the shared cooldown state.
  • Different-priority MUFs remain unchanged.
  • Clean MUFs remain unchanged.

---

Current PvP Behavior

Automatic Mode

When PvP protected-aura mode is set to Automatic, Decursive enables the restricted path in:

• Battlegrounds
• Arenas

and disables it outside those PvP instance types.

Restricted PvP Rules

While restricted mode is active:

• Blizzard-managed strict priority filtering controls the live affliction indication.
• Legacy Decursive aura coloring does not override the managed state.
• No generic protected aura is allowed to fall back to Priority #1/red.
• Exact protected aura details are not read directly by addon Lua.
• Tooltip/status text avoids claiming the aura is normal when the state is protected.

Chat Notifications

When the effective PvP mode changes, Decursive reports:

Decursive: PvP protected-aura mode ENABLED

or:

Decursive: PvP protected-aura mode DISABLED

These messages only print on actual state changes.
