Hated Premades / Epics — Changelog

v8.0.4 — Cleanup

• Removed two old, unused modules that had been disabled for a while and were still shipping as dead weight in the package.
• Trimmed some internal dev files that had no business being in the download.

v8.0.3 — Fixed repeated errors from BG Queue Counts / Guild PvP Activity

• Fixed a Lua error that could repeat rapidly while /hgq (BG Queue Counts) was running, caused by a Blizzard restriction on reading certain cross-player data.
• BG Queue Counts and Guild PvP Activity now both stand down completely while you're inside a dungeon, raid, battleground, or arena, instead of continuing to scan in the background.

v8.0.2 — Fixed BG-entry warning popup

• Fixed a "HatedEpics has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI" popup some players saw when entering a battleground. Blizzard has locked auto-promoting a Raid Leader behind an action addons can no longer perform at all — the addon now tells you who to promote instead of trying to do it for you.

v8.0.1 — Game version bump

• Updated for game version 12.1.0.

v8.0.0 — The Big One 🏆

A major reliability and polish pass across the whole addon. If you queue, link up with your Raid Leader, or run HG Count for callouts, this update's for you.

🔗 Linking & Coordination — way more reliable

• Auto-pass Raid Leader on BG entry now actually works. This was silently broken before — if you had it turned on, it just never fired. Fixed for good.
• Your link to your Raid Leader no longer drops on a UI reload. Reconnects itself automatically instead of leaving you disconnected until you manually re-pick your leader.
• Multi-queueing? Approving a second BG pop while you're still inside your first one now actually reaches you, instead of leaving your Enter Battle button stuck until Blizzard's own timer kicks you out of the queue.
• Raid Leaders now get a real heads-up (sound + chat line) the instant a linked player's queue pops — no more relying on a status row that quietly resets itself after 20 seconds.
• Tightened up who can act as your Raid Leader/linked players behind the scenes — blocked and removed players stay blocked and removed.

🖱️ Minimap Menu

• New: right-click the minimap icon → Extra Windows to open/close HG Count, BG Queue Counts, and Guild PvP Activity without typing a single slash command.

🎛️ HG Count — now fully customizable

• New: Edit Macros button. Change the label and text of every raid-marker button — or add your own — right from the HG Count window. No more digging through the addon's files to change a callout.
• Fixed the Channels list running off the bottom of the window with no way to scroll to the rest.
• Window position and channel picks now actually stick across a reload.

🪟 Windows that finally remember themselves

• BG Queue Counts (/hgq) and Guild PvP Activity (/hgpvp) now remember whether you had them on and where you put them, instead of resetting to off/centered every single login.
• All three now have a real on/off switch and "reset position" button in Options → Extras.

🏘️ Communities show up by name again

• Fixed community pickers (Post-to-Communities, Community Discovery, and HG Count's channel list) sometimes showing a raw ID or "Unknown Community" instead of the actual community name.

Older versions weren't tracked in this file — this is where we start keeping score.
