Changelog

All notable changes to Explorer's Footprint are documented here.

The project follows Semantic Versioning.

[0.2.3] - 2026-10-10

Changed

• Replaced the map-relative intensity scale with an absolute logarithmic scale.
• Set purple, blue, green, yellow, and red anchors at 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, and 100,000 samples.

[0.2.2] - 2026-10-09

Fixed

• Assigned heatmap pins to Blizzard's registered area-POI frame level so zone-map detail layers do not hide parts of the overlay.

[0.2.1] - 2026-10-09

Added

• Added /footprint debug map diagnostics for current map IDs, parent relationships, projection success/failure counts, and rendered coordinate bounds.

[0.2.0] - 2026-10-09

Added

• Render source-map samples on related parent and child World Map views.
• Convert source cell positions through world coordinates when building a target-map overlay.
• Aggregate projected source cells that land in the same target cell.
• Prefer storing new samples under a resolvable child zone when the position API returns a broad parent map.

Changed

• Keep source-map data unchanged and derive hierarchical overlays at render time.

[0.1.1] - 2026-10-08

Fixed

• Removed the invalid MapCanvasPinTemplate inheritance that caused the World Map pin warning.
• Refresh heatmap pins when Blizzard changes the selected World Map ID.
• Refresh the provider when it is registered while the World Map is already open.

Changed

• Replaced the blue-to-red scale with a purple-to-blue-to-green-to-yellow-to-red gradient.
• Treat the first recorded visit as 0% intensity and the most visited cell on that map as 100%.
• Keep positive first-visit cells visible instead of filtering them by intensity.

[0.1.0] - 2026-10-08

Added

• Initial Retail-only addon structure.
• Account-wide sparse map-cell database with schema versioning.
• Throttled outdoor player-position sampling.
• World Map heatmap using Blizzard's MapCanvas data-provider and pin APIs.
• Retail Settings checkbox for toggling the overlay.
• English localization table prepared for additional locales.
• Slash commands for settings, status, and confirmed data reset.
• User and developer documentation.
