Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

0.4.1 - 2026-04-04

Minor patch introducing the ability to rename profiles and internal data optimizations.

Added

• You can now rename existing profiles in the profile switching dropdown by clicking the small gear icon when hovering over them (#63).

Fixed

• Optimized how data is stored locally, there should be no user-facing changes (#64).
• Resolved a rare issue where a player's name color would fail to load if their character data wasn't already cached (#67).

0.4.0 - 2026-03-28

Significant feature update introducing Group Windows, session persistence for dedicated frames, and various quality-of-life UI improvements.

Added

• Added Group Window support to combine multiple specific players into a single shared Eavesdropper window (#53).
  • Ideal for tracking small parties or specific "inner circles" in crowded RP hubs.
  • Create or manage groups by right-clicking a unit's portrait or chat name and selecting "Eavesdrop Group".
  • Includes a global setting (enabled by default) that remembers your Group Name, Player List, and Display Mode even after logging out or reloading.
• Improved how Dedicated Windows are saved across sessions (#55).
  • Includes a global setting (enabled by default) that automatically re-opens your active Dedicated Windows after a UI reload or game restart.
• Added the Beep and Poke sounds from the Listener addon as new notification options with proper licensing (#28 and #61).
  • Special thanks to Bitwise1057 for the initial implementation.
• Added confirmation popups for profile actions to prevent accidental clicks (#59 and #60).
  • "New," "Copy From," "Reset," and "Delete" profile options now ask for confirmation before any changes are made.
• The title bar button (which opens the window menu) now automatically resizes to fit its text.
  • Whether it shows "Eavesdropper," a target name, or a group name, the button will grow or shrink to fit the name while keeping a clean minimum width.

Changed

• Improved window dragging by allowing you to move windows by clicking directly on the title text (#54, by Peterodox).
  • You can now click and drag anywhere on the top bar to move any Eavesdropper window.
• New Dedicated or Group windows now automatically appear in front of existing ones when opened (#52).
  • This ensures that newly created windows are always on top and not hidden behind others.

Fixed

• Improved the title bar menu to prevent it from flickering or closing if you click the menu button while it is already open (#56).
• Resolved a rare issue where "Format Quest Text" would fail for certain NPCs that had no actual dialogue to show (#51).

0.3.0 - 2026-03-22

Significant feature update introducing Dedicated Windows for unique targets, RP name integration with Dialogue UI, and localized Russian support.

Added

• Dedicated Window support for unique targets (#26).
  • This feature can be toggled under the "Dedicated Windows" category.
  • Open a unique window by right-clicking a unit's portrait or their name in chat and selecting "Eavesdrop On".
  • Includes optional notification options (sounds and taskbar flashing) in the "Notifications" tab.
  • New messages will trigger a yellow message indicator on the respective window to help track conversations (enabled by default, can be disabled in settings).
• Eavesdropper can now replace your character's name with your RP name within quest text when using Dialogue UI (special thanks to Peterodox for his work on his side) (#36 and #44).
• Eavesdropper can now replace your character's name within NPC dialogue (Say, Emote, etc.) when a supported RP addon is used (#42 and #44).
  • Quest Text and NPC Dialogue features can be toggled under the "Advanced Formatting" category.
  • Note: Chat bubbles will still show your original name, as they cannot be modified by addons.
  • Includes three display modes:
    • Full Name: Displays your complete RP name.
    • First Name: Displays only the first part of your RP name.
    • Original (OOC) Name: Reverts to your standard character name.
• Eavesdropper window visibility is now saved per character rather than per session (#25).
  • Allows the frame to be shown or hidden independently across different characters.
  • The most recent visibility state is now remembered across logins and UI reloads.
• Russian translation added thanks to Hubbotu / ZamestoTV (#32).

Changed

• Standardized terminology across the addon; all instances now consistently use "Settings" instead of a mix of "Options" and "Settings".
• Refined the keyword highlighting system to improve overall consistency and resolve rare occurrences of missed keywords (#31).
• Implemented various improvements to the Keywords multi-line editbox (#30).
  • Escaping or clicking out of the editbox will now properly sanitize and save your changes.
  • Scrolling while hovering over the editbox (without focus) will now correctly scroll the Keywords tab itself.
  • Improved the scrollbar logic to reveal more intuitively when the content exceeds the editbox height.
  • Clicking anywhere within the editbox now properly focuses the text, removing the need to click specifically on existing text.
• Total RP 3 NPC Speech Emotes once again support keyword color highlighting for users on TRP3 v3.3.3; for users on older versions, support remains limited to keyword notification sounds (#40).

Fixed

• Resolved another issue where TRP3 NPC Speech emotes (which typically begin with | ) could appear invisible for certain users after using a standard Blizzard emote (e.g., /point, /wave) (#40).
• Resolved an Eavesdropper conflict with RP addons in specific rare circumstances when using completely empty profiles (#43).
• Resolved an issue where the Eavesdropper window would sometimes randomly hide when entering instances (dungeons, Trial of Style, etc.) (#25).
