Supported Versions

  • 4.0.1

Version 1.1a

- Full support for frames that are loaded anytime after login. Kong will no longer unregister frames that it can't find initially.
- Improved support for saving unnamed frames between game sessions. See the 'Advanced' section in the GUI for frames that could not be saved previously.
- Added a "/kong reset" command that can be used to clear all settings from the current profile.
- Fixed a bug that would prevent frames from appearing on mouseover the first time Kong was loaded.

Version 1.0a

- Added a configuration GUI that can be accessed by typing /kong
- Fixed an issue with addons that continually set frame alpha (e.g. Dominos)
- Added the word "Automatic" to the addon name in an attempt to better describe the addon's functionality and prevent confusion among those who might think "Kong UI" is a UI compilation

Version 0.9c

- Fixed a bug that was preventing users on from being able to manipulate the default profiles for characters on realms with spaces in their names.
- Fixed an error that would occur when using /kong show on a frame that was part of a mouseover group.
- Fixed an error that would occur when the in and out alpha of a frame or trigger were set to the same value.
- Fixed an error that would occur if a user omitted the word "in" or "out" when setting fade speed.
- Fixed an error that could occur when Kong attempted to fade a frame that was already being faded using the UIFrameFadeIn/Out methods.
- Kong will now be able to find some additional late-loading frames.

Version 0.9b

- Fixed a bug that would cause frames to remain on screen after a member of a mouseover group was unregistered with /kong show.

Version 0.9a

- Fixed a bug introduced in version 0.9 that could prevent a frame's configuration from being saved between game sessions.

Version 0.9

- Added "/kong profile" for managing Kong configurations and sharing them between characters.
- Added "/kong casting" to configure frames to appear while casting.
- Fixed a bug that could cause frames to disappear when faded in and out at the same time.

Version 0.8a

- Minimap icons will now be hidden along with the minimap itself.
- Minimap terrain should now always be visible when the minimap is at least 88% alpha.  This is a workaround for a Blizzard minimap bug that causes the minimap contents to disappear when it is faded out in certain areas of the world.
-Fixed a bug that could cause frames to remain either hidden or shown after entering certain vehicles or being picked up in a boss fight (Chopper sidecar, Archavon, Kologarn, Lord Jaraxxus, etc.).
-Fixed a bug could cause frames to remain hidden after zoning in or out of an instance.

Version 0.8

- Added "/kong group" to configure frame grouping. This allows multiple frames to appear when a single frame is moused-over.
- Fixed a bug that was preventing "/kong nocombat" from working correctly.

Version 0.7

- Added "/kong macro" to configure frames to appear when a given macro condition is met.
- Added alpha commands for individual triggers (ie. "/kong combat alpha") to allow for different frame alphas under different conditions.  Default frame alpha can still be set using "/kong alpha".
- Added speed commands for both frame defaults ("/kong speed") and individual triggers (ie. "/kong combat speed") to control the rate at which frames fade in or out.

- Added "/kong mouseover" to support customizations to the fade speed and alpha of frames when the mouse is moved over them.
- Added "/kong enable" and "/kong disable" commands and entries for these commands in the Key Bindings screen.
- Due to significant code structure changes, user settings from previous versions will be lost.

Version 0.6a

- Update for patch 3.1 compatibility.

Version 0.6

- Added an entry in the Key Bindings screen to allow quick toggling of UI fading on/off.
- Fixed a bug that would cause Kong to fade frames after reloading the UI even if Kong was disabled.

Version 0.5

- Added "/kong nocombat" to configue frames to appear when out of combat.
- Added "/kong vehicle" to configure frames to appear when in a vehicle.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a frame to fade out when it shouldn't.
- Fixed a bug that prevented "/kong combat" from working when not in combat.

Version 0.4

- Fixed a bug that would cause frames to be hidden at login when Kong was disabled.
- Fixed a bug that would cause frames to reappear after they had been removed from the screen (party frames out of party, etc).
- Fixed an "Interface action failed because of an AddOn" bug.
- Fixed a bug that caused registered frames to be permanently shown on screen when /kong combat was used in combat.
- Renamed to Kong UI Hider to (hopefully) make the addon more visible to those searching for its functionality.

Version 0.3

- Added the ability to control faded and shown alpha.
- Added the ability to toggle Kong on or off.
- Fixed a few nil index errors related to saving data between sessions, and added warnings to the default chat log when these issues occur.

Version 0.2

- Added the ability to configure frames to either appear in combat or stay hidden until mouseover.

Version 0.1

- Initial version.
