What's new

Changelog

v0.3.1 (2026-09-25)

No changes to the addon. This release is the first one published on CurseForge and Wago, so the CurseForge and Wago apps can install and update it.

v0.3.0 (2026-09-25)

The first public release. For WoW: Forever beta build 1.60.1.70009 and later.

New

  • Your settings are saved. Build 70009 keeps addon saved settings across /reload and a full restart, so each character's zones, areas and toggles are now stored and survive a relaunch. The client writes them to disk at /reload and at logout, so a crash loses that session's edits.
  • The editor, /amb ui. A window with the zone's map: draw polygon, circle and named-subzone areas, set contrast, brightness and gamma for each, order them by priority, and preview the result live. Every edit is saved as you make it. Undo and redo, delete a zone, and revert a zone to its last export. The window hides in combat and comes back afterwards.
  • Gamma is a third setting beside contrast and brightness.
  • Sharing. Export a zone as a text string and import one from another player, from the editor's Export and Import buttons or with /amb export and /amb import. An import shows the values on your screen first and applies nothing until you accept. /amb ignore blocks a player, or everyone.
  • Instance auto-toggles. The addon steps back in dungeons, raids and battlegrounds, each switchable with /amb set.
  • /amb status says whether your build keeps saved settings. If a later build stops, the addon warns you at login and the editor offers a Save to file fallback.

Removed

  • The self test, the in-game probes and the separate AmbianceCost measurement addon. They were development instruments; their results are kept in the repository.
  • The old copy-paste flow for saving zones to Zones.lua. It is no longer needed on build 70009, and comes back on its own only on a build that stops saving.

Known limits

  • Sending a preset to your party or raid directly is not built yet. Share the export string instead.
  • The zone that ships with the addon, Elwynn Forest, uses deliberately exaggerated values to show that the addon works. Change it or delete it in the editor.
