Kill Bragging Addon - Changelog

[1.1.0] - 2026-02-25

Added

• Class & Race Support: Updated to the Burning Crusade Classic API (GetPlayerInfoByGUID). The message templates now support a fourth %s variable to broadcast the victim's Class, in addition to Name, Level, and Race.
• Assist & Recent Damage Tracking: Bragging rights are no longer strictly limited to getting the literal killing blow! The addon now passively tracks all damage you deal to enemy players. If a player dies within 15 seconds of taking damage from you, the addon claims the "assist" kill and announces it as usual.
• Dynamic Message Tags: Completely replaced the rigid %s formatting with named tags {name}, {level}, {race}, and {class}. Users can now freely arrange their announcement structures and sentences without worrying about format order. Backwards compatibility is included for old %s templates. Additionally, {name} now automatically renders wrapped in brackets (e.g. [PlayerName]).
• Advanced Victim Level Caching: Radically improved level memory by listening to NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED in addition to target and mouseover events. The addon now passively records the level of any enemy whose health bar appears on your screen, and permanently saves this data to KB_CONFIG across play sessions, guaranteeing nearly perfect level tracking on kills.
• Improved Configuration UI: Completely redesigned the /kb configuration window. It now uses standard Blizzard stylized borders (ButtonFrameTemplate) and features a much cleaner, organized layout separating settings toggles from the message edit box.
• Login Message: A welcoming chat message is now printed to the local player's chat window when they log in to the game, featuring the addon name and instructions (/kb).
• Login Message Toggle: Added a "Show login message" checkbox to the /kb configuration window so users can disable the welcome message if they find it annoying. This preference is saved automatically to KB_CONFIG.
• Login Message Delay: The welcome login message now uses a 2-second delay (C_Timer.After) to ensure the chat window is fully loaded and capable of displaying text when the player logs in.

Fixed

• Level Display Limitations: Combat log API natively returns ?? for targets, which is now successfully mitigated by our targeting and mouseover cache memory.
