GuildSync

[2.0.4] - 2024-02-21

Simplified Synchronization Mechanism

• Initial PULL on Load: When the addon is loaded (PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD), a PULL request is now automatically sent to the guild to request current data.
• Push-on-Change: Data (lockouts and quests) is only sent to the guild when an actual change in your own status is detected.
• Optimized Triggers: A sync is triggered on login, zone changes (ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA), quest completions, and instance info updates – but only if the data has changed.
• Efficiency: A fast comparison of serialized data structures is used to detect changes and avoid unnecessary network traffic.

Version Checking & Update Notifications

• Version Tracking: The addon version is now included with every outgoing message.
• Update Notification: The addon now checks incoming messages to see if a newer version is available.
• Chat Notice: If a newer version is detected, a yellow system message appears in the chat once per session.

Refactoring & Cleanup

• Global Renaming: All internal references have been changed from GID to GS (GuildSync).
• Prefix Update: The communication prefix has been changed to GS.
• Command Cleanup: Outdated references to /gid update have been removed, as synchronization is now fully automatic in the background.
• Command Update: All slash commands have been unified to /gs (e.g., /gs show, /gs own, /gs all, /gs clear).

Bug Fixes

• Corrected a loop error in capturing instance IDs.
• Stabilized difficulty detection for TBC Anniversary (2.5.5).
