v12.0.9 (2026-04-10)

Rebrand: Nem: HoT Alerts → Nem: Healer Alerts

The addon has been renamed from Nem: HoT Alerts to Nem: Healer Alerts to better reflect its scope — the addon tracks far more than just Heal over Time effects (beacons, procs, cooldowns, shields, etc.). This is a cosmetic rename with zero gameplay changes.

What changed

• All user-facing text updated: title, options panel, chat messages, addon compartment, Settings category
• Internal identifiers renamed (NemHotAlertsSV → NemHealerAlertsSV, _G.NemHotAlerts → _G.NemHealerAlerts, frame names, slash command keys)
• Existing settings migrate automatically — your saved variables carry over on first login, no action needed
• New slash command /healeralerts added; /hotalerts kept as a legacy alias
• Addon folder renamed from NemHotAlerts to NemHealerAlerts

All Healer Specs Now Supported

Nem: Healer Alerts now works for every healer specialization in the game. Each spec has its own alerts, sounds, glows, and options — the addon automatically detects your class and spec and activates the right module.

Discipline Priest (new)

Architecture

The addon was completely restructured behind the scenes. Each healer spec is now a fully independent file — adding or changing one spec can never break another. Druid players will notice zero differences from v12.0.8.
