GRIP-EMS WoW Default v1.0.6

Compatibility Update & Stability Fixes

Fixed

• Fixed a script ran too long error that could occur when opening the GRIP-EMS interface from the minimap button.

• Removed expensive synchronous UI traversal from the GRIP window's initial ToggleMainFrame() / Show() path.

• Added caching for Sequence Editor header/background discovery so the same GRIP UI regions are not repeatedly inspected every time the interface is opened.

• Added cycle/visited-object protection and strict traversal limits to recursive GRIP UI frame discovery.

• Removed unnecessary GetAtlas()-based header inspection from the affected opening path.

• Changed cosmetic UI discovery to fail open if GRIP's internal frame layout cannot be identified safely, preventing optional skinning from blocking the GRIP interface.

• Fixed a v1.0.5 regression where Core.lua exceeded WoW Lua's 200-local-variable limit, preventing the addon from loading.

  • v1.0.4 was already near the limit at approximately 199 top-level locals.

  • v1.0.5 exceeded the limit after the compatibility changes.

  • v1.0.6 consolidates new compatibility and runtime state, bringing the main chunk safely back below the limit.

GRIP-EMS Compatibility

• Updated compatibility for the latest GRIP-EMS 2.4.x releases.

• Added explicit support for GRIP-EMS Plugin API v4 introduced with GRIP-EMS 2.4.

• Retained fallback compatibility for supported older GRIP Plugin API behavior where possible.

• Updated UI integration for changes to the modern GRIP-EMS editor and frame hierarchy.

• Preserved GRIP-EMS's native sequence execution, keybind handling, secure buttons, import/export behavior, and saved sequence data.

World of Warcraft Compatibility

• Updated for World of Warcraft Retail 12.1.0.

• Retains compatibility with Retail 12.0.7.

• Updated addon metadata for dual-client support.

Performance

• Reduced work performed when opening the GRIP-EMS interface.

• Previously discovered GRIP UI controls are reused instead of repeatedly rescanning the interface.

• Recursive UI discovery now uses bounded traversal to prevent excessive execution time on large or changed GRIP editor layouts.

• Nonessential skinning work is deferred until after the main GRIP window is available.

Preserved

• Existing GRIP-EMS WoW Default visual styling.

• Sequence Editor styling and layout customizations.

• Existing GRIP window and editor skinning where compatible.

• Existing user configuration and saved settings.

• No changes to GRIP-EMS combat execution or sequence logic.

Notes

This release primarily addresses compatibility and stability issues exposed by changes in the current WoW and GRIP-EMS UI environment. The UI skinning layer is now more defensive so future GRIP frame-layout changes are less likely to prevent the base GRIP interface from opening.
