Changelog

All notable changes to MegaKill Announcer will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

1.2.0 - 2026-04-19

Added

• Community sound pack registry — third-party packs can now register via MegaKill_RegisterPack() as standalone addons; see PACK_AUTHORING.md
• Built-in packs split into Packs/Unreal_Theme.lua and Packs/Flamboyant_theme.lua — same API as community packs
• Milestone vs Random pack types — milestone packs map sounds to kill counts; random packs pick from a flat pool every kill
• Streak bar and spree announcements automatically disabled for random packs; controls grey out in Config UI
• WoW item quality colors on Unreal Tournament pack — white (common) → blue (rare) → purple (epic) → orange (legendary) as streak builds
• Rainbow labels baked into Flamboyant pack entries via WoW color escape codes
• Font size slider in Config UI (range 16–128) with live on-screen preview while dragging
• Pack type shown as subtitle under pack selector in Config UI

Changed

• ShowAnnounce() now takes a single label string — packs own all text formatting including colors
• Config UI pack selector reads dynamically from registry — community packs appear automatically

Fixed

• local db declared before GetPack() — scoping bug caused GetPack() to always return nil
• local announceFrame declared before MegaKill_SetFontSize() — same scoping bug
• TOC file paths use forward slashes — backslashes broke pack loading on Mac
• SetEnabled() replaced with Enable()/Disable() — SetEnabled does not exist on WoW CheckButton frames
• Font path uses hardcoded Fonts\FRIZQT__.TTF — GameFontNormalHuge:GetFont() can return nil before UI loads

1.1.0 - 2026-04-19

Added

• Events split by version — Events_Retail.lua loaded by Mainline TOC, Events_Classic.lua loaded by Classic TOC
• MegaKill = {} shared namespace — OnKill, OnPlayerDead, OnPlayerAlive, GetDB exposed for event files

Changed

• Core.lua no longer registers any events — all event registration moved to version-specific files
• Removed IS_RETAIL_PRECHECK version check hack from Core

Fixed

• Version bleed impossible — Classic cannot accidentally register UNIT_DIED; Retail cannot register COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED

1.0.8 - 2026-04-18

Removed

• Chat broadcasting feature removed entirely — sounds and screen text only

Fixed

• Classic: syntax errors from orphaned code after chat removal
• Classic: WOW_PROJECT_MAINLINE constant unreliable — switched to WOW_PROJECT_ID == 1
• Classic: UNIT_DIED no longer attempted on Classic (Retail-only event)
• Wago Addons: release now uploads as Stable (was Alpha due to untagged commit)

1.0.7 - 2026-04-18

Added

• Heroes of Newerth Flamboyant announcer sound pack (22 audio files)
• Rainbow text rendering for HoN Flamboyant pack — per-character cycling colors
• Sound pack selector in Config UI (prev/next arrows)
• Config UI uses ScrollFrame — nothing cut off on small panels
• Two-column checkbox layout in Config
• Preview buttons use selected pack sounds and matching text

Fixed

• Retail 12.0: COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED now only registered on Classic
• UNIT_DIED now only registered on Retail 12.0+

Added

1.0.1 - 2026-04-17

Added

• Streak timer progress bar — shows kill count and countdown timer after each kill

Fixed
