What's new

Changelog

[0.2.8] - 2026-10-07

Removed

  • GatheringTooltip: the skill line on the tooltip of fishing poles is gone as well (the bobber was done in 0.2.7); Glimpse: Professions shows the fishing skill. FishingRow and its texts are removed

[0.2.7] - 2026-10-07

Removed

  • GatheringTooltip: the tooltip of the fishing bobber (the line "Angeln 1/75") is gone; Glimpse: Professions shows the fishing skill there now. The fishing rod keeps its skill line

[0.2.6] - 2026-10-07

Fixed

  • luacheck warnings: IsFishingLoot declared as a read-only global, unused variables and assignments removed (Collect.lua, Tooltip/Skills.lua)

[0.2.5] - 2026-10-06

Changed

  • GatheringDB: kills are no longer stored: the per-creature kill counter (GetNPCKills, RecordKill, the kill count in GetStats, the line in the debug tooltip and in /gli gatheringdb stats) is removed; a kill is only used as an event for an attempt (API_VERSION 10). Old kills values are dropped when the data is checked
  • GatheringDB: kills without a loot window are recognized by the PARTY_KILL event (killer and victim): every kill of yours or your pet counts, also after a target switch and without loot; the death of the target stays as a fallback for clients that do not know the event

[0.2.3] - 2026-10-06

Added

  • GatheringDB: fishing is recorded per zone with the place you stood at; every cast is an attempt, a loot window makes it a catch (GetFishing, GetFishingDrops); included in export and import; data version 6, API_VERSION 8
  • GatheringTooltip: the tooltip of the fishing bobber shows your fishing skill (e.g. "Fishing 1/75"), and so does the tooltip of a fishing pole; the debug tooltip shows the casts and catches of the zone
  • GatheringTooltip: the tooltip of a fish shows where it was caught, with chance and amount
  • GatheringTooltip: required gathering skill on herb and ore nodes and on skinnable creatures, with your own skill and the colour (red, orange, yellow, green, gray); four options in the Target tab
  • GatheringDB: static skill tables (GetRequiredSkill, GetSkillColor, GetPlayerSkill), /gli gatheringdb skill; API_VERSION 7

[0.2.2] - 2026-10-06

Added

  • GatheringDB: separate kill counter per creature (GetNPCKills, shown in the debug tooltip and /gli gatheringdb stats)
  • GatheringDB: kills without a loot window count as an attempt after 2 minutes, only as a fallback
  • GatheringDB: records where loot was found (zone and coordinates, or the instance); option "Record locations"
  • GatheringDB: uses node locations from GatherMate2 if installed; one switch per outside source in the options
  • GatheringDB: export and import of all data (/gli gatheringdb export | import), merge or replace
  • GatheringDB: GetLocatedItemSources orders the sources of an item by where you can farm it best
  • GatheringDB: /gli gatheringdb gm2 helps to find problems with the GatherMate2 data
  • GatheringTooltip: the places of a crafting material are ordered by distance, with options for number and minimum chance
  • GatheringTooltip: the best place of each source is shown in brackets (coordinates, zone, distance, addon name)
  • GatheringTooltip: marker for your own place (five symbols, five colours), credits for the icons
  • GatheringTooltip: a key (default Ctrl+G) sets a waypoint (TomTom or game marker) to the best place
  • GatheringTooltip: source icons or headings per kind, hits and attempts behind the chance (option "Show attempts")

Changed

  • GatheringTooltip: nodes and creatures show their drops like the sources of an item (chance, hits/attempts, average)
  • GatheringTooltip: places that only come from another addon show no chance and average
  • GatheringTooltip: distances use the unit of the Glimpse options
  • GatheringDB: nodes count once per gathering cast, creatures again after 10 minutes
  • GatheringDB: drop lists carry an attempts field; data version 5, API_VERSION 6
  • Maps, position and distances moved to the Glimpse module Locations (needs Glimpse 0.2.2)

Fixed

  • GatheringDB: GatherMate2 matching by node name also finds copper veins and nodes with another spelling or category
  • GatheringDB: the data version was lost at logout, so migrations never ran
  • GatheringDB: kills without loot are detected more reliably (target health, corpse, end of combat)
  • GatheringDB: respawned nodes and repeated mining of one node are recorded again
  • GatheringDB: a gathering cast without a success event no longer hides the node
  • GatheringTooltip: the distance option no longer says "yards" (the unit is selectable); gm2 is listed in the command help
  • GatheringTooltip: the waypoint key listener is not touched during combat (no "Interface action failed" message)

[0.1.0] - 2026-10-05

Added

  • GatheringDB: records nodes and creature loot (crafting materials and gems), account-wide, with a public API
  • GatheringDB: data version, cleanup of damaged entries and a size limit (2000 nodes, 6000 creatures)
  • GatheringDB: debug mode shows the raw recorded numbers in the tooltip
  • GatheringTooltip: chances and averages for nodes, creatures (loot and skinning) and crafting materials
  • GatheringTooltip: best source(s) in item tooltips, creature level, only-learned-professions filter
  • GatheringTooltip: options in tabs, optional Shift/Ctrl/Alt requirement
  • GatheringDB, GatheringTooltip: addon icons (Media/Icon.tga) shown in the addon list
