LoreJournal Changelog

[1.2.1] — 2026-03-21

Added

• Better Quest Rewards view within the quest and better display of currency

Fixed

• Black Border is now gone, making the frame look a lot nicer

[1.2.0] — 2026-03-21

Added

• Massive lore expansion — LoreData.lua now covers 130+ entries: all 8 capital cities, 40+ Classic zones, 8 TBC Outland zones, 17 Classic dungeons and raids, 24 TBC dungeons and raids, and all 9 playable classes
• Currency icons on money rewards — gold, silver, and copper amounts now display with the game's official coin medallion icons (via GetCoinTextureString) matching the default UI's money format
• Item icons on quest rewards — each reward item displays its actual in-game icon using real SetTexture() frames, handling both texture path strings and numeric file IDs correctly
• XP reward styled in the game's purple experience color

Fixed

• Unicode rectangle on reward items — inline |T texture escapes in paginated text could not reliably handle numeric file IDs returned by GetQuestLogRewardInfo; replaced with actual Texture frame objects using SetTexture() which works with both paths and IDs
• Coin icons not rendering — replaced hand-rolled |T money texture strings with GetCoinTextureString(), WoW's built-in money formatter used by the default UI
• Rewards pushed below visible range — rewards were embedded in the paginated body text and would overflow to page 2 on long quests; rewards are now rendered in a dedicated panel anchored above the objectives section, always visible on the first page
• Objectives now match intended design — incomplete objectives show plain indented text; complete objectives show the ReadyCheck checkmark with no bullet icon

Changed

• Rewards panel is now a dedicated UI section (real frames) positioned between the body text and objectives, not embedded in the paginated text
• All 9 class lore entries rewritten from Blizzard marketing copy to historical narrative covering order founding, key figures, and cultural traditions (Paladin: Silver Hand / Blood Knights split; Warlock: Gul'dan and Shadow Council origin; Shaman: Ner'zhul's fall and Thrall's restoration; Mage: Sunwell loss and Kirin Tor; Druid: Malfurion and Cenarion Circle; etc.)

[1.1.3] — 2026-03-19

Fixed

• Abandon Quest function would sometimes fail. This is fixed

Added

• Quest Rewards shown in quests
• Quest Objectives have better tracking

[1.1.2] — 2026-03-18

Fixed

• Share and Abandon quest buttons were not showing. This has been resolved

[1.1.0] — 2026-03-18

Added

• Track checkbox — top-right of the right page; reflects live IsQuestWatched state; toggling calls AddQuestWatch / RemoveQuestWatch
• Share button — bottom of the right page; calls QuestLogPushQuest() to share the quest with party members; hidden when the quest is complete
• Tooltips on Share and Track controls explaining their function
• Lore entries for zone, dungeon, and class headers are now loaded from LoreData.lua and displayed on the right page when a header is clicked

Fixed

• Quest colors showed uniform gold for all entries — GetQuestDifficultyColor returns a flat band in the Anniversary client; replaced with a manual difficulty calculation using UnitLevel("player"): gray (trivial), green (easy), yellow (appropriate), orange (hard), red (very hard)
• \xE2\x9C\x93 UTF-8 checkmark literal appeared as xE2x9Cx93 on every row — Lua 5.1 does not support \x hex escapes; replaced with WoW's ReadyCheck-Ready texture escape for complete quests
• Header lore body remained empty after clicking a zone or dungeon header — paginated body was producing zero-height pages due to off-screen measureFS; lore is now set directly on detailBody bypassing pagination
• Share and Abandon buttons correctly hidden when viewing header lore or when no quest is selected

Changed

• Abandon button label shortened to Abandon Quest (was Abandon Quest) and moved to bottom-right alongside the new Share button
• README updated with full CurseForge-ready description, correct difficulty color table, and documentation for all slash commands including /lj debug, /lj api, and /lj testlore

[1.0.0] — 2026-03-18

Initial release for World of Warcraft TBC Classic 20th Anniversary (Interface 20505).

Added

• Open-book journal UI replacing the default quest log (L keybind)
• Left page: quest list organized by zone, dungeon, and class headers; scroll arrows; quest count label (X / 25)
• Right page: quest title with level, paginated description, live objectives with completion markers, Abandon Quest button
• Completed quest indicator (checkmark texture) and failed quest indicator ((Failed) suffix with red text)
• Questie compatibility — detects Questie on load and shows [Questie tracking active] note; no conflicts
• Combat safety — journal hides on PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED
• Window position saved per character in LoreJournalDB; /lj reset to re-center
• Slash commands: /lj, /lj reset, /lj debug, /lj logs, /lj api, /lj testlore, /lj help
