Chat Monitor

<font color="blue">5.2.13</font> Bugfix: Custom searches should now work again.
<font color="blue">5.2.12</font> Adds a partial WoWUnit test suite.
Bugfix: Fuzzy word matches will no longer ignore the last letter of the word. Sensitivity has been adjusted to compensate. This should improve accuracy.
<font color="blue">5.2.11</font> Bugfix: Ticket 18 (error message when clicking a message in history window).
<font color="blue">5.2.10</font> Bugfix: Ticket 17 (error messages when monitoring WTB/WTS messages).
<font color="blue">5.2.9</font> Bugfix: Should now reliably appear when you log in, if enabled. Benign bugfix: No longer attempts to load non-existent Data.lua. <font color="blue">5.2.8</font> Bugfix: 2-word messages will now be matched.
Added: Your settings will no longer be reset unnecessarily when your cache is reset due to an update.
Added: The GetPlayerInfoByGUID cache is now persistent per realm. This should improve performance when playing on a realm you've played on before, when players post LFG or LFGuild requests without stating their class. For TradeForwarder and LFGForwarder users, it will also improve accuracy.
<font color="blue">5.2.7</font> Will now ignore messages filtered by other add-ons. This is accomplished through a post-hook to ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter. <font color="blue">5.2.6</font> Fixed: tickets 9 and 10.
Added: By default, monitors Firelands LFM messages that are seeking your class. This is intended to make LFMonitor functional "out of the box" for players who haven't configured it.
<font color="blue">5.2.5</font> Added: Option to ignore your own messages.
Now uses AceConfig and the LFMonitor.LOCALE_STRINGS table for the General panel.
<font color="blue">5.2.4</font> Emergency release to fix bugs involving external library embeds.
<font color="blue">5.2.3</font> Minor tweaks and bugfixes to keywords.
Removes some old debugging code.
<font color="blue">5.2.2</font> Emergency release to correct some packaging issues, per ticket 8. Also removes apostrophes from existing keywords. <font color="blue">5.2.1</font> Now uses link types to help identify message types.
Now associates LFG and LF Guild messages with the sending player's class if they don't specify a class or role.
Approximate word matching is now less sensitive on short words.
Apostrophes are now ignored.
New keywords have been added based on data mining that will improve message-type detection, especially for guild recruitment.
Further performance improvements to word matching.
<font color="blue">5.2</font> Added: Separate class/role/raid/profession watch lists for each request type.
Added: Support for services other than professions (Cooking, Lockpicking, mage portals, mount rides and [Have Group, Will Travel]).
Added: Support for the alchemical specializations.
Raid, class and profession option panels are consolidated into a new Filtering option panel, reimplemented using AceConfig to improve maintainability/extensibility.
Moves lists used by the Filtering panel to Options.lua to restore cohesion and maintainability in the locale file. Replaces most of the text in these lists with pre-localized global strings, and wraps the remainder with references to a new flat string table.
"Localizes" function references in LFMonitor.lua to further improve performance, especially on fuzzy matching of unrecognized words. In a benchmark, this decreased running time by 46% compared to version 5.1 and by 32% compared to version 5.1.2.
Allows the user to select larger cache sizes.
Adds the most common English words ("the", "and", "you", etc.) to the matching dictionary to increase speed and prevent false positives when they, or misspellings of them, are present in a message. <font color="blue">5.1.2</font> Fixes a regression bug that made the filter ineffective and greatly exaggerated the performance gain in version 5.1.1. <font color="blue">5.1.1</font> Performance refactor to wordSimilarity(). <font color="blue">5.1</font> Added: Guild Recruitment and LF Guild categories
Added: Type /lfmon history to see the classication of recent messages in a table form. Updates in real time, so it can be used as an alternate interface when watching chat.
Added: Now registers itself as a filter, so that messages filtered by other add-ons will be ignored where possible. (Won't always work, even if the other add-on loads first, but I have submitted a mod to SpamBayes that will avoid processing spam.)
Added: Dual cache (words & entire messages) to further reduce usage of the slow approximate-matching function.
Added: Options to configure cache size and filter sensitivity.
Many refinements to the filter keyword values in order to improve accuracy.
<font color="blue">5.0.2</font> Added: Option to explicitly choose what roles to monitor, rather than all roles the monitored classes can play
