Changelog

0.6.4 - 2026-03-03

• Add: Reset Minimap Zoom module — automatically zooms the minimap back out after a configurable delay
• Add: Skip Cinematics module — automatically skips movies, cinematics, and cutscenes (hold pause modifier to watch)
• Add: Flight Path Line module — draws a dotted directional line on the world map while flying
• Add: Flight Path Line style options — solid, dotted, and thick styles with color picker and length slider
• Fix: Auto Quest no longer runs in instance map 2513 to avoid taint

0.6.3 - 2026-03-01

• Fix: Custom fonts (Roboto) showing as default WoW font — for real this time. SafeSetFont now uses Font Objects (CreateFont + SetFontObject) instead of direct SetFont calls, letting WoW handle late-loading font files transparently
• Add: Secret value utility (IsSecret, SafeValue) with polyfill — centralizes WoW 12.0 secret value guards
• Add: German (deDE), Spanish (esES), French (frFR), and Italian (itIT) translations
• Fix: Auto Sell no longer gets stuck when selling many stacks of the same item — sells one item at a time with a short delay instead of all at once
• Chore: Tooltip module now uses shared IsSecret helper instead of raw issecretvalue calls

0.6.2 - 2026-02-27

• Fix: Tooltip no longer errors on unit tooltips when the unit value is secret (WoW 12.0 taint guard on UnitIsPlayer)
• Add: Auto Quest now auto-selects single gossip dialog options to progress through NPC dialog chains leading to quests (toggleable in settings, enabled by default)
• Remove: Item Info module temporarily removed for rework
• Add: Module status dots on the splash page are now clickable toggles — quickly enable or disable any module without navigating to its settings page
• Chore: Consolidated duplicate widget helpers (moduleEnabled, moduleToggle, refreshPage) into shared Utils/WidgetHelpers.lua
• Chore: Consolidated duplicate GetFontPath into shared Utils with SafeSetFont retry helper (RangeCheck, CombatTimer, CombatAlert, MissingPet)
• Remove: Disable Loot Warnings module — core APIs are protected in WoW 12.0 making auto-confirm unreliable

0.6.1 - 2026-02-25

• Fix: Tooltip no longer crashes on secret tooltip text in instances (WoW 12.0 secret string guard)
• Fix: DisableLootWarnings no longer errors when confirming loot rolls, bind-on-pickup, and merchant refund popups
• Fix: Range Check now uses Pummel for all Warrior specs instead of Slam/Shield Slam
• Fix: Range Check now uses Death Strike for Death Knights instead of pre-spec Rune Strike
• Fix: Range Check now uses correct Blackout Kick spell for Windwalker Monk

• Add: Tooltip module — shows mount names, item IDs, spell IDs, and talent node IDs on tooltips with Ctrl+C copy support (all features individually toggleable, disabled by default)

• Add: Cursor Ring trail sparkle effect with two modes — Static (fade in place) and Twinkle (shimmer with upward drift)
• Add: Cursor Ring rainbow trail now shifts its starting color as you move, instead of always starting from red
• Add: Full localization support — all user-facing strings extracted to locale files with English as the base, 10 additional languages ready for community translations
• Add: Automated release pipeline — GitHub Actions with BigWigs packager for CurseForge uploads, localization substitution, and GitHub Releases
• Change: Cursor Ring Preview is now a button ("Start Preview" / "Stop Preview") instead of a toggle, so it reads as a tool rather than a setting
• Change: Cursor Ring renamed to Cursor Ring & Trail
• Change: Cursor Ring trail max points increased from 80 to 400
• Change: Cursor Ring trail performance improved — dot positions set once on placement instead of every frame, dormant mode when cursor is idle, and hitch recovery after loading screens
• Fix: Preview mode now loops continuously in Cursor Ring, Combat Timer, and Combat Alert (was checking wrong panel frame property, causing auto-disable after 0.5s)
• Fix: Tooltip module no longer errors on unit tooltips inside instances (secret value guard)
