MageSphere Forever — Changelog

1.1.1 — 2026-11-09

Fixed

• Dragging the sphere, BuffHelper, DecurseHelper or SheepHelper stops when combat begins. Dragging is disabled during combat and available again afterwards.
• Category buttons no longer trigger a blocked interface action by trying to hide during combat. Automatic hiding resumes after combat, respecting mouse hover and open flyouts.
• DecurseHelper plays one alert per player with an ongoing curse. Combat transitions and leaving/re-entering range no longer repeat the same ping. A confirmed curse-free scan within range allows a new curse to trigger another alert.
• DecurseHelper red warnings and shared-target selection require confirmed Remove Lesser Curse range. Range is checked every 0.5 seconds while the helper is visible; unknown range does not trigger a warning.

Validation and limitations

• Local regression checks cover combat transitions during dragging and menu auto-hide, Decurse alert persistence, range changes, restricted/unknown data and both Decurse display modes.
• The reported combat-entry interface block was confirmed resolved by the user. Decurse alert/range changes still need confirmation in the Forever client.
• Restricted aura data cannot confirm that a curse ended or that a new one appeared during combat; it does not reset an existing alert.

1.1 — 2026-11-08

BuffHelper improvements for Forever 1.60.1 / Interface 16001.

Added

• Rebuff-threshold slider under BuffHelper > General: 0–60 seconds in 10-second steps, saved with settings profiles. The default of 0 suggests only missing buffs. Permanent buffs and restricted aura data do not trigger early renewal.
• /ms debug now saves a BuffHelper snapshot with the active profile, spell availability, mana-class eligibility, aura access and range results. Secret values are replaced with a marker.

Fixed

• Nearby mana classes are no longer excluded from Intellect recommendations when their maximum mana value is restricted. Eligibility uses the public class; warriors and rogues remain excluded.
• Party and raid recommendations and alerts now require confirmed range for the selected spell. Unknown range results are skipped, group-buff thresholds count reachable recipients, and mouse-wheel bindings refresh as movement changes the need.
• The floating BuffHelper button casts only on left-click. Right-click is reserved for dragging; mouse-wheel casting remains available.
• Combat casting uses a shared one-shot sequence for the prepared buff, intended to stop repeated casts after one successful cast until combat ends. Failed casts can be retried.

Validation and limitations

• Local regression checks cover restricted mana, recipient filtering, range, rebuff thresholds, protected-action setup, aura restrictions, startup and options construction.
• The combat cast sequence still needs confirmation in the Forever client. It does not provide live combat aura detection; use normal spell buttons if a buff is removed or expires again during the same fight.
• Existing SheepHelper and inherited TBC catalogue limitations remain documented in the README.

1.0 — 2026-11-05

First packaged Forever 1.0 release for CurseForge, including the fixes made after the initial 0.1 test archive. Target: Forever 1.60.1 / Interface 16001.

Fixed

• Removed the Blizzard-only AddLuaErrorHandler registration that raised an assertion during addon loading. Blocked/forbidden-action file logging remains available; automatic general Lua error capture is disabled.

• Check aura-access restrictions before querying buffs/debuffs. Prevent repeated DecurseHelper errors from UNIT_AURA refreshes and mouseover tooltips; unknown access remains unknown and readable data is checked again when restrictions end.

• Guard BuffHelper and debug aura scans through the same access check. The Decurse tooltip explains when aura status is unavailable.

• Removed SheepHelper's forbidden combat-log subscription at startup. The reported Blizzard block dialog no longer appears after this fix.

• Moved the close button and footer away from the decorative corners and adjusted the Forever label.

• Removed the duplicate current-page label beneath the options title.

• Shortened the German chat tab label to Essen&Mana.

• Replaced the fixed Classic minimap radius with positioning based on the current minimap dimensions; refresh the position after resizing and world entry.

Added

• Saved diagnostics for MageSphere blocked/forbidden actions, including early startup events.
• /ms debug reports recent blocked-action diagnostics and explicitly indicates that general Lua error capture is unavailable on Forever.

Documentation

• Reworked the README as a player-facing CurseForge description.
• Separated Forever release notes from the archived TBC changelog.
• Documented the remaining inherited spell catalogue and current validation limits.

Known issues

• The reported excessive Lua errors were traced to restricted DecurseHelper aura queries. The fix is included and regression-tested locally; in-game confirmation is pending.
• SheepHelper combat-log countdowns and automatic break warnings are unavailable.
• TBC catalogue entries, old API fallbacks and unused helper display logic have not yet been fully audited and removed.

0.1 — 2026-11-05

Initial Forever test release, targeting 1.60.1 / build 70790 / Interface 16001.

Added

• Arcane Compendium options theme with chapter navigation, violet panels, gold details and turquoise accents.
• Automatic options-window scaling for smaller UI viewports.
• Registration in the modern Settings menu.
• Adapters for modern spell, spellbook, item, merchant and tracking APIs.
• Handling for missing legacy aura APIs and restricted aura fields.
• Local checks for API adapters, aura handling and options-page construction.

Changed

• Retained the sphere, flyouts, profiles, restocking, chat settings and helper controls from the TBC addon for continued Forever testing.
• Enabled both key-down and key-up click registration for Decurse buttons.
• Read the main bank's actual slot count instead of assuming 24 slots.

The initial 0.1 archive predates the fixes included in version 1.0.
