Changelog

[1.1.0] — 2025-05-28

I know that AI is a bit of a loaded term when it comes to communities we care about, I want to be transparent that as a software engineer as my day job, I do fold the use of Github Copilot into my workflows typically. I used it for elements of this add-on. Mainly from a learning perspective, I've never quite had the time to really dig into WoW's API and Lua, so I leaned on it to help me understand how to do certain things in the WoW environment. I also used it to help generate some boilerplate code for the UI, and to help me refactor the original monolithic file into a more modular structure. That being said, I wrote the overall architecture and design of the add-on myself, and I did all of the testing and debugging. I also wrote all of the documentation and comments. So while I did use AI as a tool in my development process, I don't think it would be accurate to say that this add-on was "created by AI". It was created by me, with the help of AI as a tool.

Architecture

• Modular refactor: Split monolithic Disenqueue.lua (~2900 lines) into 8 focused modules: Core.lua, Theme.lua, SlotMap.lua, UI_Main.lua, UI_Locked.lua, UI_Export.lua, UI_Minimap.lua, Settings.lua
• Callback system: Introduced ns.RegisterCallback / ns.FireCallback for loose coupling between modules (events: ADDON_LOADED, QUEUE_UPDATED, LOCKED_UPDATED, STATE_CHANGED, CAST_START, CAST_STOP)
• Shared namespace: All modules communicate via local _, ns = ... pattern
