[1.9.4] - 2026-05-02

Added
- Blizzard Cooldown Manager (Retail 11.1.5+) — Optional scan of `EssentialCooldownViewer`, `UtilityCooldownViewer`, `BuffIconCooldownViewer`, and `BuffBarCooldownViewer` (depth-limited tree) so ping-adjusted timers can attach to the built-in Cooldown Manager icons. Enabled by default; toggle Hook Blizzard Cooldown Manager in settings.
- Draw text above Cooldown Manager — Checkbox that raises overlay `FrameLevel` into a high band so numbers stay visible above Blizzard’s Cooldown Manager layers when they were previously hidden behind it.
- `Cooldown` widget detection — `findCooldownForButton` also checks Blizzard’s PascalCase `Cooldown` parentKey used by Cooldown Manager slots.
- `CVAR_UPDATE` — When cooldown viewer / cooldown manager related CVars change, the addon rescans bars after a short delay (viewer frames may load late).

[1.9.3] - 2026-05-02

Added
- `/gcdp status` — Prints a short summary (addon on/off, GCD overlay, ping panel, Home/World detail line, average ping, effective countdown shift, font size, text opacity, decimals, approximate hooked button count).
- `/gcdp alpha <20-100>` (alias `opacity`) — Sets cooldown text opacity from chat, same range and 5% steps as the options slider; refreshes the options panel when it is open.
- Ping panel: Home & World — Optional checkbox (default off): when the ping panel is visible, appends a second line with Home and World latency in milliseconds under the average ping. Panel height adjusts automatically (`SyncPingPanelFrameSize`).
- `PLAYER_SPECIALIZATION_CHANGED` — Registered when the event exists; triggers the same action bar scan as other bar-related events (helps after specialization swaps on Retail).

Changed
- Ping panel default size — Slightly wider/taller frame so optional two-line ping text fits; layout stays backward compatible when the new option is off.
