FriendGroups Version 12.1.06 Changelog

Tooltip & UI Polish (The Collision Fixes)

• Resolved Panel & Tooltip Overlap: Fixed an issue where the native game hover tooltip would collide with or get buried behind the "Known Alt Characters" panel for friends with many alts. The native tooltip now reliably docks directly beneath the alt panel, ensuring both boxes remain completely readable at all times.
• Consistent Roster Positioning: Tooltip placement is now unified. Whether you are hovering over a player in the Contacts (friends) list or the Guild & Communities roster, the tooltip will reliably appear in the same predictable spot directly under the alt panel.
• Dynamic Screen-Edge Handling: If the combined height of the stacked alt panel and tooltip would run off the bottom of the screen, the tooltip now intelligently flips to grow upward. This ensures everything stays fully visible at smaller resolutions or higher UI scales.
• Third-Party Addon Compatibility: The docking logic is fully dynamic. The tooltip correctly recalculates its position and stays attached beneath the panel even when other addons (like Raider.IO) append extra lines of text to it on the fly.
• Zero-Footprint Disabled State: Addressed complaints about the addon altering layouts even when turned off. If the "Known Alts" feature is disabled in your settings, FriendGroups completely steps out of the way and Blizzard's default tooltip positioning takes over entirely.
• Isolated Scope: These positioning updates are strictly isolated to roster member hovers. All unrelated tooltips (action buttons, bag items, general UI) remain completely untouched and behave as normal.

Bug Fixes & Localizations

• Russian (ruRU) Translation Fix: Corrected a formatting error from the 12.1.05 update where stray characters (自由) were accidentally injected into the DEBUG_SECRET_GUID telemetry debug string.

Crash Fixes & Technical Refinements

• Resolved Guild Roster Lua Errors (The "Secret Values" Crash): Fixed an intermittent, repeating Lua error that occurred when hovering over guild members in the roster. This was caused by Blizzard's new "secret values" system introduced in Patch 12.0 (Midnight), where the game occasionally returns a protected string that crashes addon string-parsing functions (like :find or strsplit) upon contact.
• New "Secret Value" Fallback System: The "Known Alts" tooltip now intercepts protected strings using issecretvalue() before attempting to read them. When a name is safely readable (99% of the time), normal logic applies. When a name is protected, the addon safely routes around the restriction by resolving the player via a new, automatically populated GUID index and renders the alt list straight from your Battle.net cache. If resolution fails, the tooltip now cleanly hides itself instead of throwing a crash. Note: This fallback relies on the target having been hovered previously in a normal context to populate the index, and they must be in your Battle.net cache.

New Features & Diagnostics

• BattleTag Display in Tooltips: By request, the "Known Alts" tooltip now displays the owning Battle.net BattleTag (e.g., Name#1234). It appears as a secondary line directly under the title, matching the familiar Battle.net light blue text format.
• Built-in Telemetry Diagnostics: Added a new debugging tool to help monitor the new secret-value fallback system in the wild. Running the /fg debug command will now print a telemetry report to your chat window, showing exactly how many secret-name hovers have occurred, how many successfully resolved via the GUID index versus failed, and whether the GUID itself was protected.
