MapNotes

Release notes for MapNotes version 6.04.40300 - 05-Dec-2011
-----------------------------------------------------------

After encouragement to update this addon, I am releasing a beta so that any
major bugs can be ironed out. This release does little more than update the
interface number so that it will load without enabling 'Load out of date
AddOns'. I have also removed the MapNotesForAtlas component as I have no
evidence that anyone is using it.

As always, PLEASE back up the saved variables file before trying this version,
and stop WoW completely before you install the new version. This time you
should also delete the folder called

  World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\MapNotesForAtlas

If you have any issues with installation, or any bugs that remain please let me
know and I will try to fix them promptly. I have been told about very slow
startup, but have been unable to reproduce it. But bear in mind that several
addons are still not ready for the 4.3.0 release of WoW and you should test
with 'Load out of date AddOns' DISABLED for now, and ideally with MapNotes
running alone if you come across any issues.

I have a fix to make the facility to draw lines between notes work properly,
and I have done some design for a number of other improvements. But please let
me know what you want from this addon as I nearly let it drop assuming there
was no longer any interest. It will do anything and nothing, according to what
you want!

If you know of any other players who might be interested in this addon then
please encourage them to try this out and talk to me. A favourite feature is
the party note (ctrl-shift-rclick on the map) which is automatically set as a
minimap note for the entire party, and is even useful solo to show a general
direction to fly without constant reference to the world map.

This note from the previous release also applies.

See you at the Faire :)

== Map Note Information ==

- Added minimap scaling data for a couple of zones. If you can't make a note
  visible on the minimap then it is because it has no scaling information for
  that zone. Please let me know the value of

    /run print(MapNotes_GetMapKey())

  if this is happening to you somewhere and I will get it fixed

- Shared map note information for all phases of the same zone

This is a beta release for testing on the 4.3 update of WoW in preparation for a few fixes I have ready.

I know it doesn't work in Firelands, and I'm working on that. In the mean time let me know about anything else you find.

As always, PLEASE back up the saved variables file before trying this version,
and stop WoW completely before you install the new version. This time you
should also delete the folder called

  World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\MapNotesForAtlas
