Changelog

All notable changes to Legacy Vendor will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[2.3.0] - 2026-08-27

Added

• Bag highlight style picker in Settings, with 10 options: Pulsing Glow (default), Marching Ants (Classic), Solid Border, Flash Pulse, Full Icon Wash, Soft Corners, Corner Brackets, Double Ring, Spinning Accent, and Dashed Border. A live-animated preview swatch next to the dropdown shows exactly what the selected style looks like before committing to it.
• Highlight color picker next to the style dropdown - a clickable swatch opens the standard color picker (works on both the modern retail API and the older Classic one) and updates the preview and any currently-highlighted bag items live.

Fixed

• Declared ## Interface versions in every .toc were stale, which could make the client flag LegacyVendor as out of date depending on client settings. Updated to match current live patches: Retail 12.1.0 (120100, verified against the installed client's own build info), Classic Era 1.15.9 (11509), TBC Classic Anniversary 2.5.6 (20506, the Phase 3 client patch), and Mists of Pandaria Classic 5.5.4 (50504). This is metadata only - Compat.lua already detects the actual running client version at runtime via GetBuildInfo(), so expansion-detection logic itself was never affected.

Changed

• Redesigned the bag highlight: the rotating orange "marching ants" border is replaced with a slow, smooth-pulsing light purple glow frame (a soft outer wash plus a crisp thin border on each edge). Same detection/sell logic, just a calmer, more modern look. Existing saves still on the old red default are migrated to the new color automatically; anyone with a genuinely customized color keeps it.

[2.2.5] - 2026-08-26

Fixed

• Opening bags or the vendor could freeze the client for several seconds once bag highlighting actually had items to highlight. The button-finding fallback did two whole-UI scans (every frame in the game, every global variable) and was redoing both from scratch for every single sellable item, on every highlight retry - up to hundreds of full UI walks per vendor visit.
• Added a scoped scan of EllesmereUI's own bag window (its frame tree only, not the whole UI) so its item buttons are found directly, the same way ElvUI's already were - the expensive whole-UI fallback is no longer reached at all during normal use with EllesmereUI installed. Also fixed a gap where, even after finding an addon's own button pool, the code could still fall through to the expensive scan if nothing in that pool happened to be sellable in a given pass.

[2.2.4] - 2026-08-26

Fixed

• The 2.2.3 fix only isolated the final ApplyHighlight step; the same unrelated-addon crash (Blizzard_BuffFrame.lua indexing a nil buttonInfo, from another addon's hook) was still hitting earlier, inside the button-finding scan itself - specifically while walking every frame in the UI looking for the right bag slot's button, which inevitably touches other addons' buttons (buff icons, etc.). That walk now isolates each candidate frame it inspects, so one unrelated addon's broken hook only skips that one frame instead of failing the whole search for that bag slot.

[2.2.3] - 2026-08-26

Fixed

• Bag highlighting could still silently apply to zero items in a pass: an unrelated addon crashing inside Blizzard's own BuffFrame code (seen triggered by another UI's aura/skin hooks reacting to a shared texture's SetVertexColor call) was propagating up through the highlight scan's single outer guard and aborting the entire batch, even though it wasn't caused by LegacyVendor. Each item's highlight is now applied in its own isolated try, so one unrelated crash only skips that one item instead of cancelling the whole pass (which retries every 0.25s anyway while the vendor is open).

[2.2.2] - 2026-08-26

Fixed

• Bag item highlighting could silently fail to appear entirely (not just with EllesmereUI - any setup exercising this code path) whenever an item actually qualified to sell. The button-finding scan crashed on a Blizzard API whose iterator now returns (index, frame) pairs instead of a bare frame; the scan only captured one loop variable, bound it to the index number, then errored indexing it - aborting the whole highlight pass before any item got marked. Fixed the iterator usage and wrapped the scan in a guard so a future API surprise degrades to "no highlight" instead of silently killing the pass.

Added

• /lv exportlog opens a copyable text window with the full debug log (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C), plus a Clear Log button. Debug Mode no longer prints to the chat frame - it buffers into this window instead, so a report can be pasted as plain text rather than cropped screenshots.

[2.2.1] - 2026-08-26

Fixed

• Bag item highlighting now works with EllesmereUI (EllesmereUIBags) installed. Its bag buttons use the retail "ItemButton" widget type, which the bag-scanning fallback didn't recognize (it only matched "Button"/"CheckButton"), so highlights silently never appeared.

[2.2.0] - 2026-07-08

Changed

• Simplified filtering: one clear choice — "Sell everything from enabled expansions" or "Only sell items matching my filters". No more hidden meta/detailed modes.
• Filters (rarity, source, slot, type, bind) are now one global set applied to every enabled expansion. Per-expansion tuning moved to an optional "Advanced" section (off by default).
• The settings panel now shows a plain-English summary of exactly what will sell, plus a detail line, and greys out filters that aren't in effect.

Fixed

• Source filtering now works as expected. Ticking a source under "Don't sell from these sources" (e.g. Consumables) reliably stops those items from selling — previously the toggle could do nothing. Fixes the reported inability to stop selling PvP potions / consumables.

Notes

• Your existing settings are migrated automatically; nothing new will sell without you seeing it in the summary. Use /lv reset to start fresh.
• If you previously used source filtering, upgrading may conservatively skip a rarely-used source (it only ever sells less, never more) — glance at the summary's "(skipping …)" note and re-enable anything you want by unticking it under "Don't sell from these sources".

[2.1.0] - 2026-04-30

Added

• Complete per-option in-game tooltip guidance for the custom config window:
  • Every checkbox now has explicit hover help text
  • Tooltip titles now include scope tags ([Global] or [Per-Expansion])
  • Tooltips include an always-visible filter evaluation order so users can understand precedence without guessing
• Animated bag preview highlighting for sellable items while a merchant window is open:
  • Automatic refresh on merchant open
  • Automatic refresh on bag updates while merchant is open
  • Automatic clear on merchant close
• New visual "cut-here" style highlight language for sellable bag items:
  • Marching rectangular border dots (clockwise loop animation)
  • High-visibility tint/fill to improve discoverability
  • Slimmer ant size refinement for better readability at real bag scale

Changed

• Major filter behavior clarification and precedence consistency improvements:
  • Source filtering now participates correctly in expansion meta flow so unchecked sources are not accidentally sold through meta short-circuiting
  • Expansion meta behavior and detailed profile behavior are now explained directly in UI copy to reduce ambiguity
• Configuration UI readability overhaul (large quality-of-life pass):
  • Improved section hierarchy and spacing
  • Better grouping and clearer labels around expansion profile editing
  • Scope-aware phrasing to distinguish global toggles from per-expansion profile toggles
• Expansion profile UX refinements:
  • Profile editor language now explicitly communicates what overrides what
  • Option text updated to reduce interpretation errors around "sell all" vs nested filtering

Fixed

• Fixed critical load-order regression where profile default construction was referenced before function definition, which prevented full addon initialization (slash commands, minimap button, and merchant button could fail to appear)
• Fixed custom settings window anchor behavior in modern clients where frame inset assumptions could cause content to render outside the window bounds
• Fixed source precedence confusion in edge paths that caused users to see items sold despite source filters being disabled
• Fixed consumable filter duplication confusion by removing redundant consumable control from non-equippable type paths and keeping consumables under source filtering where they belong
• Fixed bag highlight system reliability in modern container UIs by replacing brittle frame-name assumptions with safer bag/slot mapping and container enumeration fallbacks

Notes

• This release focuses on two themes: filter predictability and visual trust.
• If an item is highlighted, it is expected to be sell-candidate under current settings and merchant context.
• If an item is not highlighted while merchant is open, it is expected to be protected by at least one active filter gate.
• A follow-up pass is planned for deeper offhand-slot debugging based on live user reports.

[2.0.0] - 2026-04-30

Fixed

• Fixed consumables being grouped into broader source paths by introducing a dedicated source bucket for food, oils, flasks, and potions
• Strict seasonal M+ guard now only targets dungeon/raid gear logic and no longer overrides consumables
• Sell button count now updates live while merchant is open when bags change (manual sells, buys, loot changes)

Added

• New item source category: Consumables (Food, Potions, Oils)
• New expansion meta mode: checked expansions can sell all items in that expansion bucket
• In expansion meta mode, current-season M+ legacy dungeon gear is mapped to current expansion filtering
• New slash command: /lv meta
• New per-expansion profile engine with nested filters:
  • Bind type filters per expansion
  • Item source filters per expansion
  • Rarity filters per expansion
  • Equipment slot filters per expansion
  • Item type filters per expansion
  • Per-expansion "only sell lower item level" toggle
• New in-game expansion profile editor in the LegacyVendor config frame
• New always-visible expansion sell-state summary in config (SELL ALL / DETAIL / GLOBAL / KEEP)

Changed

• LegacyVendor config now always opens the in-game frame to expose the full expansion profile editor

[1.4.3] - 2026-04-02

Fixed

• Seasonal M+ dungeon protection completely reworked (1.4.2 single-threshold approach was insufficient)
  • New primary check: instance table — items are cross-referenced against a maintained list of Encounter Journal instance IDs for legacy dungeons in the current M+ rotation (Pit of Saron, Skyreach confirmed for TWW Season 3). Works for WoD and Legion where pre-squish ilvl peaks make ilvl comparison unreliable
  • New secondary check: per-expansion ilvl ceiling — replaces the broken single global threshold (554) with historically accurate per-expansion maximums; reliably catches scaled-up items from Classic through MoP and post-squish BFA/SL/DF
  • Enable debug mode (/lv debug) to see Item source instanceID: output and help identify seasonal dungeons not yet in the table
• Unrecognized non-equippable item types now default to protected (skip, do not sell) instead of potentially passing through filters depending on other settings

Added

• Crafting & Profession Items — new dedicated section in the addon settings
  • Gems (item classID 3) now tracked and protected by default (was missing from filters entirely and could slip through)
  • Reagents, Trade Goods (Vellums), and Recipes grouped under a clear "Crafting & Profession Items" header in the UI with an explicit "never sell by default" note

[1.4.2] - 2026-03-23

Fixed

• Items from refreshed M+ dungeons (Skyreach, Pit of Saron, etc.) are no longer auto-sold
  • Old expansion dungeons in the seasonal M+ rotation drop current-ilvl gear
  • Addon now detects items with legacy expansion IDs but current-content item levels (554+) and protects them from being sold

[1.4.1] - 2026-03-04

Changed

• Reduced chat spam when selling items — per-item messages ("Attempting to sell...", "Sold successfully!") now only show when debug mode is enabled
  • Previously each item sold generated 3 chat messages; now only the final summary is shown
  • Enable debug mode with /lv debug if you want verbose per-item output

[1.4.0] - 2026-03-01

Added

• Item Source Filtering: New filter category to sell items based on where they came from
  • Dungeons, Raids, Outdoor/World, Professions, Vendors, PvP, Reputation, Housing/Delves, Unknown
  • "Enable Source Filtering" master toggle to activate/deactivate source filtering
  • All sources disabled by default for safety
  • Uses C_ItemSourceInfo API on Retail with tooltip-based fallback for Classic

Fixed

• Fixed minimap button moving to center of screen when FarmHud or similar minimap-replacing addons are active
  • Button now properly parents to Minimap frame when in attached mode, so it follows the minimap
  • Freeform mode still parents to UIParent for free placement anywhere on screen

[1.3.1] - 2026-02-28

Fixed

• Fixed /lv exclude command doing nothing — GameTooltip:GetItem() returns name, link but only the first value (name) was being captured, causing the item ID match to silently fail with no output
