• 7.3.3 - discord requests
  -Individual frame alphas
  -Text Anchors for Name / Power

  Fixed a Retail Blizzard Edit Mode taint issue that could break compact party and raid frames with the outOfRange error.
  Matt’s Minimal Frames now pauses its live frame update systems during Blizzard Edit Mode and shows clear in-game guidance to use MMF Edit Mode for personal frames while reserving Blizzard Edit Mode for party and raid frames.

  Aura sync second pass: aligned Retail aura handling with Blizzard packed updates and added stronger transition resyncs to eliminate ghost/wrong auras during combat swaps, zoning, and group changes.
  Fixed channel-to-cast handoff drops by resyncing live cast/channel state before hide (e.g., Ray of Frost into Glacial Spike).

• 7.2.5 - stability update
  Added a combat-lockdown guard to auxiliary frame visibility, deferring updates with MMF_RunAfterCombat until combat ends. @BernCarney
  Fixed random ghost buffs/debuffs by hardening Retail aura reads (safer packed aura handling + secret-value sanitization) and adding a brief post-UNIT_AURA resync pass to clear stale icons.
  Fixed new-profile class resource bar desync by replacing generic force-show logic with class/spec/form-aware visibility refresh (e.g., Arcane bar only on Arcane spec, Druid combo only in Energy forms).

  Added a full frame center-position layout system (per-unit Center X/Y controls, drag/save/reset integration, and profile-aware persistence), adapted from the PR (credit: BernCarney).
  Fixed a profile regression where some users’ frame layouts could reset or shift during migration/profile application due to the new PR.
  Fixed target aura accuracy/caching and restored reliable buff/debuff tooltip behavior.

• 7.2.1 - quality-of-life ui polish / other fixes
  Added Popup Inactive Fade (default ON), so the settings window gently dims when your mouse is not over it.
  Added an alpha slider beside that setting, so you can choose exactly how much it fades.
  Improved fade behavior: it now works right after login/reload and starts full opacity until you first mouse off.
  Updated Player/Target Auras: Blizzard Anchor now auto-disables unless both Buffs and Debuffs are enabled, with helper text shown under it.
