EllesmereUI Build v8.0 WELCOME TO THE FULL LAUNCH!

This is the biggest EllesmereUI update we have ever shipped, headlined by a brand-new Raid Frames module, a full Click Casting (HoverCast) system, raid-frame buff tracking for healers, multi-language support, and a Bloodlust tracker.

**Raid Frames (NEW MODULE):**
- **NEW:** A complete, high-performance replacement for Blizzard's raid and party frames, built from the ground up with endless customization. Existing users get a one-time popup to keep or disable it.
- Set frame width, height, cell spacing, and group spacing, with independent group and unit growth directions (up, down, left, right).
- Show all 8 raid groups separately or merge everyone into one flat grid, and choose exactly which groups are visible.
- Create custom layouts for each raid size (10/15/20/25/30) that automatically switch as your group grows, with optional auto-resizing of icons and text.
- Sort by group or role with a drag-to-reorder role priority, and pin yourself first or last with Show Self First/Last.
- Choose whether raid frames appear while solo, in a party, or in a raid.
- Style health bars with any texture (SharedMedia supported), opacity, and a Class / Dark Mode / Classic gradient / Custom color mode, plus background darkness and color.
- Add optional per-role power bars with adjustable height, smoothing, background, and border style.
- Smoothly animate health and power bars between values.
- Customize unit name, health text (percent, number, and combined formats), and Dead/Offline/AFK status text, each with its own position, size, color, and offsets.
- Add a frame border (solid or textured) plus separate recolorable hover and current-target highlight borders and an aggro/threat warning border.
- Show damage absorbs (striped, clean, or Blizzard style), heal-absorb shields, incoming heal prediction, and a reduced-max-health overlay.
- Display role icons in 7 styles, raid target markers, ready-check and summon icons, a leader/assist icon, and group numbers.
- Highlight dispellable debuffs with a colored border and/or health-bar overlay, with per-type colors and an option to only highlight what you can personally dispel.
- Show debuffs with filtering (all / raid only / dispellable), stacks, cooldown swipe, and duration text, with an option to hide the Bloodlust/Sated debuff.
- Track personal and external defensive cooldowns as icons with swipe and duration text.
- Show Blizzard private auras (boss mechanics) directly on frames with countdown support.
- Fade out-of-range members with smart per-class range checks, including healer resurrection range.
- Show unit tooltips on hover (with a separate in-combat toggle) and stay compatible with addons like RaiderIO.
- Includes a full live preview plus a dedicated full-screen Test Mode that fills the frames with 20 fake members so you can configure every element without a real group.
- **NEW:** Fully separate Party Frames that can mirror your raid settings or be customized independently per section, with their own layout, horizontal mode, center-when-solo, and hide-self options.
- Both raid and party frames are freely movable in Unlock mode and saved per profile.
- A single toggle hides Blizzard's left-side Raid Manager panel.

**Click Casting / HoverCast (NEW):**
- **NEW:** A full click-casting system under Raid Frames > HoverCast that lets you cast spells, macros, and items by hovering and clicking unit frames. Off by default, and while off it never changes any of your clicks.
- Manage separate Global and per-Spec binding sets, where spec bindings override globals on the same key.
- Bind your spells, global and character macros, and usable items, with already-bound entries dimmed so you do not double-assign.
- Capture any key, mouse button (1-5), or scroll wheel with Shift/Ctrl/Alt modifiers, and right-click to clear.
- Use Quickbind mode to hover an ability and press a key to bind it instantly, plus an always-on spell strip docked to the options window.
- Smart presets that auto-pick the right spell for your class: Dispel, External Defensive, Dynamic Rez (battle rez in combat, normal rez out of combat), and Trinket 1/2.
- Per-binding options for cast-out-of-combat-only, cast on key down, true mouseover casting on world units (with friendly/enemy filters), and which frames respond.
- Warns you when a key is already bound, and passes your keys through to your action bars while mounted, dragonriding, or in a vehicle.

**Raid Frame Buff Tracking (NEW):**
- **NEW:** Healers can display the buffs they care about directly on raid frames, with a Simple Setup grid that auto-shows your spec's entire buff list, or a Custom Buff Display you build yourself.
- Configure indicators separately per healer spec (auto-detected), with sensible defaults pre-loaded for each spec so it works right out of the box.
- Build up to 20 indicators per spec as icons, colored squares, bars, health-bar tints, frame borders, or frame-dim effects.
- Each indicator can track multiple buffs, with a per-spell "only mine" filter, 9-position placement, growth direction, stacks, cooldown swipe, and duration text.
- Frame effects can trigger when a buff is present OR missing, so you can highlight people who are lacking a key buff.
- Tracks important hidden defensive buffs (such as Ironbark, Pain Suppression, Power Infusion, Guardian Spirit, and Life Cocoon) that the game normally hides.
- Includes a live preview with click-to-edit and per-spell size adjustment.

**Multi-Language Support (NEW):**
- **NEW:** The EllesmereUI options panel, Unlock Mode, and popups can now show in 10 languages plus English: German, Spanish (EU and Latin America), French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
- The interface language automatically follows your game client, with a new "EUI Options Language" dropdown to override it.
- Chinese, Korean, and Russian clients automatically use the correct font, and any untranslated text falls back to English so nothing ever breaks.
- Translations are community-driven, and anyone can contribute or improve a language.

**Bloodlust Tracker (NEW):**
- **NEW:** A Bloodlust/Heroism tracker icon that shows your Sated/Exhaustion lockout with a countdown until you can be lusted again, recognizing every lust variant.
- The moment lust is cast, a 40-second active-lust timer appears on top so you can see how much haste time is left.
- Choose when it appears (Mythic+ and raids, Mythic+ only, raids only, or never), and move and style it freely. It starts out matching your Battle Res icon.

**Profiles & Presets:**
- **NEW:** Popular Presets now open a full browser with screenshots, authors, tags, and separate "Import 1080p" and "Import 2K" buttons, and can set up a matching Blizzard Edit Mode layout.
- **NEW:** Several new curated profile presets to choose from, including healer and DPS/tank layouts.
- **NEW:** Choose exactly which modules to include when importing or exporting a profile, and importing now merges onto your current profile instead of replacing everything.
