Guild Message Manager - Changelog

[2.1] - 2026-02-14

Added

• Style module split: Added GMM_Style.lua as a dedicated style registry for textures and UI style options.
• TOC metadata in header: Added dynamic version/date display in the main header by reading addon metadata from the TOC version field.

Changed

• Load order update: Updated .toc load order so style data is initialized before the main UI.
• Header refresh and layout:
  • Removed the extra divider/accent line under the header title area.
  • Increased and tuned header spacing for improved subtitle fit.
  • Centered the main title and adjusted header/subtitle color treatment.
• Footer modernization:
  • Split footer into left/right zones.
  • Left side now keeps server/local time text pinned to the left.
  • Right side now supports branded footer visuals with images/Cata_Logo.png.
  • Footer spacing and frame height were tuned to better fit large logo layouts.
• Time/footer copy update: Updated footer labels to Server Time / Local Time and updated copyright year to 2026.

Fixed

• Communities sidebar tab jump: Removed delayed re-anchor behavior that caused the GMM sidebar icon to shift downward after opening Communities.
• Sidebar tab spacing consistency: Standardized tab anchor gap so the GMM tab stays aligned under the final visible sidebar tab.

Internal

• Refactored main UI file to consume style APIs from the shared style module instead of owning duplicated local style tables.

[1.3.2] - 2025-01-27

Changed

• Officer Threshold Compatibility: Updated officer rank threshold from 3 to 4 to improve compatibility with guilds that use different numbering systems for officer ranks. This allows more guilds to properly utilize the addon regardless of their specific rank structure.
