EasyGuildInvite – World of Warcraft: Forever

0.2.1-forever

• Replaces the message-only workaround with a full EasyGuildInvite backup/restore format.
• Full backups now include all addon-owned SavedVariables: EasyGuildInviteSettings, EGI_DB, and EGI_MemberHistory.
• This covers custom Whisper/Welcome messages, addon settings, counters/database values, and member history insofar as they are stored by EasyGuildInvite.
• Adds a visible Backup / Restore All Data button to both the Whisper and Welcome settings panels on Forever, so users do not need to know the /egibackup command.
• Adds an in-panel explanation that the Forever client may reset SavedVariables after login.
• Keeps /egibackup as an optional shortcut to the same full backup window.
• Keeps Blizzard's normal SavedVariables mechanism enabled; the manual backup is a defensive fallback rather than a replacement.

0.2.0-forever

• Promotes the Forever package from beta labeling to a normal release channel.
• Adds /egibackup, a dedicated manual backup/restore window for custom Whisper and Welcome messages.
• The backup format is text-based so users can copy it outside the game and restore it after login if the Forever client fails to reload SavedVariables.
• Keeps normal Blizzard SavedVariables enabled; the workaround does not replace or corrupt the standard persistence mechanism.
• Shows a one-time session notice on Forever explaining the current client-side SavedVariables restore problem and pointing users to /egibackup.
• Keeps all prior Forever hardening: Interface 16001, level cap 60, modern secure guild actions, click-assisted invites, guarded /who, secret-value handling, and protected API isolation.

Important persistence note

World of Warcraft: Forever currently has a client-side issue reported across multiple addons where SavedVariables can be written to disk but are not reliably restored after login/reload. EasyGuildInvite cannot force the game client to load those files. Version 0.2.x therefore provides an explicit external-copy backup/restore workflow so users can protect their EasyGuildInvite data until the client issue is fixed.

0.1.1-forever-beta

• Adds an explicit load-time Forever/Camelot flavor marker instead of relying on runtime project/API heuristics.
• Keeps the modern secure Retail-derived controllers while treating Forever as its own client flavor.
• Pins recruitment/search level handling to the Forever level cap of 60.
• Expands secret-value helpers so unsafe numeric/string coercion can be rejected defensively.
• Keeps guild invites click-assisted and synchronous with a real hardware event; no timer-driven protected invite fallback is introduced.
• Keeps /who on the guarded modern C_FriendList path and avoids replacing Blizzard global APIs.
• Retains guild sync exclusively over the GUILD addon-message channel.
• Adds diagnostics metadata for the expected Forever Interface 16001 target.

0.1.0-forever-beta

• Initial beta support for World of Warcraft: Forever 1.60.1 (Interface 16001).
• Based on the hardened modern/Retail code path because Forever exposes the modern secure addon API surface.
• Adds explicit Forever client detection and a level-60 recruitment/search cap.
• Keeps protected guild actions behind user hardware events and avoids recreating or replacing Blizzard API globals.
• Adds secret-value detection helpers for future Forever-specific hardening.
• Reuses the existing localization, guild roster, recruitment, diagnostics, minimap, quick-message, welcome-message, and raid-tool modules where their APIs are available.
