KwikTip

v3.5.0 (2026-09-11)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• release: v3.5.0 — support link in settings and /kwik support
  Adds a way to say thanks. A muted "Support KwikTip" line sits above the
  logo in the settings sidebar, and /kwik support prints the same link.
  Nothing is gated, nothing is added to chat on login, and every feature
  stays free.
• Add a support link to the config window and /kwik support
  KwikTip has ~19k downloads and has never had a way for anyone to say
  thanks. This adds one, in the least intrusive form available: a muted
  "Support KwikTip" line above the logo in the config nav pane, plus a
  /kwik support command matching the existing /kwik feedback idiom.
  No chat message on load, no nag, no gating — the addon stays free and
  every feature stays free, as Blizzard's addon policy requires. Donation
  links are permitted; charging is not.
  The client cannot open a browser, so the button raises a popup holding a
  selectable edit box instead. Any edit rewrites itself back to the URL, so
  a stray keypress cannot leave someone copying a broken link, and the
  popup uses preferredIndex 3 to avoid tainting Blizzard's popup slots.
  Strings are localized in both enUS and deDE, with tests asserting the
  German message resolves and that the URL survives localization.
  Localization suite 52 -> 54, validate_data.py clean.
  Ko-fi rather than Patreon: a one-off tip suits a free utility better than
  a subscription, and Ko-fi takes 0% of tips. Patreon remains the recurring
  home on KwikShack.
• Ignore Python bytecode from the tools/ scripts
  tools/*.py generate __pycache__ on every run; it was untracked-but-visible
  and easy to sweep into a commit by accident.
