Changelog

Format: Keep a Changelog / Semantic Versioning. Sync protocol bumps are called out — mismatched clients ignore each other's messages.

[0.37.2] - 2026-08-20

Fixed

• /ho opt opens the options again on 2.5.6. The patch replaced the legacy Interface Options frame with the Settings panel, so the old InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory call led nowhere.
• Skin font swaps no longer risk an error on 2.5.6, which validates the SetFont flag argument strictly and rejects the nil that GetFont() returns for a font object without flags.

[0.37.1] - 2026-08-05

Fixed

• The cast bar was invisible for protection paladins on 0.37.0.

[0.37.0] - 2026-08-05

Added

• Protection paladins get a Righteous Fury slot on the cast bar: green while it is up, red while it is missing, click to cast.

[0.36.0] - 2026-08-05

Changed

• No-Salvation substitutes follow the member's requests and remembered likings (Salvation itself skipped) instead of a generic class default.

Fixed

• A per-member Salvation assignment is now substituted instead of dropped — that member used to end up with no blessing for the encounter.
• A class joining during No-Salvation mode can no longer be assigned Salvation.

[0.35.0] - 2026-08-02

Added

• Classes that join later are assigned automatically — every paladin row extends its existing coverage, no manual Auto needed. Also fills the gaps when you join a running group.

Fixed

• Tanks get Light when the paladin has no Blessing of Kings.

[0.34.0] - 2026-07-31

Added

• /ho peers lists legacy blessing-addon clients and their free-assignment state.

Fixed

• A request already covered by someone's plan no longer shows as outstanding.
• Solo-paladin auto blesses yourself talent-aware instead of self-Salvation.

[0.33.0] - 2026-07-31

Added

• /ho pets: shows who buffs which pet, with everyone's addon version.

Fixed

• The request window remembers its position.

[0.32.0] - 2026-07-30

Added

• ElvUI skin: uses your ElvUI profile's colors and font (requires ElvUI).
• Skins can change the font — third-party skins too.

[0.31.0] - 2026-07-30

Added

• Pre-planning: assign paladins before they join — + button or /ho expect <name>, with name autocompletion; applies on arrival.
• Lane swap: click two paladin names to swap their assignments.
• Sync indicator: the window locks with a spinner while a sync runs.
• Aura sync to legacy blessing-addon clients.

Fixed

• Might and Kings were swapped on the legacy wire.
• Pushed assignments no longer get overwritten by a legacy client's own row.
• Auras no longer flip after group joins.

[0.30.0] - 2026-07-29

Changed

• Clearer no-Salvation button labels (EN: mode state, DE: action).

[0.29.2] - 2026-07-27

Fixed

• No-Salvation mode reverts reliably, even after a lead change.

• No-Salvation mode ends when leaving the group.

Changed

• The update hint links to the download site.

[0.29.1] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

[0.29.0] - 2026-07-25

Relaxed party permissions apply fully once every client runs 0.29+.

Added

• Explicit "not a tank" mark — overrides role-icon and spec detection.

Changed

• Paladins without the addon are freely plannable.
• Switching a cell's blessing keeps its cast mode.

[0.28.0] - 2026-07-25

[0.27.0] - 2026-07-24

Added

• "biker" skin with a spinning wheel handle.
• Pets get multiple blessings with several paladins: Kings + Might, and Wisdom on mana pets (needs everyone on 0.27+).
• /ho peers lists incompatible clients and who must update.

Changed

• Buffs count as expiring under 5 minutes (was 2).
• No-Salvation swaps prefer the class chain and Kings; Light is last resort.

Fixed

• The peer list rebuilds after a mid-group /reload.
• Messages during raid formation are no longer lost.
• Buff requests reach freshly reloaded clients.

[0.24.0] - 2026-07-22

Added

• Configurable fly-out direction.
• Sanctuary is assignable to protection-tagged paladins without the addon.

Changed

[0.17.0] - 2026-07-19
