Parley

0.23.18

• Profession links open when clicked: the game only opens them from its own code, so the click now goes through it.

0.23.17

• A link the game refuses to open (a profession link, for instance) now says so on screen, with the reason when the game gives one, instead of a click that does nothing.

0.23.16

• The note shown when scripts are not yet allowed gives the way that works: the game refuses the "Allow custom scripts" answer while an addon is active in its chat box, so it is given once with Parley unticked.

0.23.15

• The elite dragon is the game's own: the golden winged dragon that wraps around an elite's portrait on the target frame, around the picture in the left column, the header and the profile.

0.23.12

• Smileys are sent the way everyone reads them: <3, xD, :), :D... stay as typed, and an emoji chosen in the picker or typed from the system goes out as its text face (no more :heart: for players without Parley). Parley still shows them as pictures. Emojis with no text face (:dragon:) keep their code.

0.23.11

• /run, /script, /dump and /reload typed in Parley stay in Parley's typing line: handing them to the game's box made the game block its "Allow custom scripts?" answer.
• Monster emotes show the monster's name instead of %s.

0.23.10

• /run typed in Parley follows the game's "Allow custom scripts?" choice: while scripts are not allowed, Parley does not run them and explains how to allow them from the game's own chat box (answering from Parley was blocked by the game).

0.23.9

• Communities whose messages read Unknown (the game gives them only as a code) are shown like in the Guild & Communities window: the game's own message box, which reads them, with their history and new messages.

0.23.8

• /run, /script and /dump typed in Parley no longer get Parley blocked by the game: Parley runs them itself, and what they print shows in Parley.

0.23.7

• Communities whose messages read Unknown: the game gives them only as a code. Those lines are no longer shown; a line explains it, and one click on Add to chat adds the community to the chat so Parley reads its new messages from there.

0.23.6

• A message hidden by the game's filter (may be inappropriate, [Show message]): the link works in Parley and the real text replaces the warning.

0.23.5

• Names no longer show a server's inner name (Poulbo Podchambre instead of Poulbo Podchambre-CAMWOWEU5Realm8PvP); real realm names still show, and whispers still go to the full name.

0.23.4

• Communities: messages the game gives as a session reference were kept after a reload and read Unknown, and blocked the fresh copy. They are now taken out and read again from the community's history.

0.23.3

• A player's picture works like their name: a left click writes to them (in the Whispers round, right there); a click on your own whisper's picture answers the person you wrote to. Right click: the message menu.

0.23.2

• The arrow between you and the person you whispered showed as an empty box (the game's font has no arrow): it is now the game's own arrow picture.

0.23.0

• Whispers round: a left click on a name answers that person right there (no new tab). Your own whispers in a window show to whom (You » Name).

0.22.0

• Auction house messages (sold, won, outbid, expired, cancelled...) show in small in every conversation (Me, in every conversation, on at first), and have their own Auction house box in Game info. In the guided tour too.

0.21.0

• Whisper from the game's menus (a portrait, the friends list, a name): the conversation opens in Parley, ready to write, instead of the game's box (setting, on at first). In the guided tour too.

0.20.1

• Guided tour: a step about your own lines, your friends logging in and bubble colors in every conversation.

0.20.0

• Logins and logouts in every conversation, split by who: your friends (on at first), your guild, and the others (communities...). Settings or a conversation's menu, Me, in every conversation.

0.19.0

• Me, in every conversation: your own skill-ups, experience and reputation show in small in any conversation (on at first); also your loot, quests and money if you tick them (settings, or a conversation's Also show what they do). They never push the conversation's messages away.
• Sounds even in the open conversation (setting, on at first).

0.18.1

• Whisper notifications show again while Everything or the Whispers round is open; only the conversation you are reading stays quiet.
• In a conversation's Also show what they do, the progress box is named Their achievements (the game never sends other players' skill-ups).

0.18.0

• Sounds: one for every whisper (settings, Sound for whispers), or one per conversation or place (right click, Sound): the game's whisper, Battle.net, map ping, ready check, group invite, raid warning, boss whisper, alarm clock, coins. Heard once when you choose it; never twice within a second and a half.
• The guided tour shows notifications and sounds.

0.17.0

• Bubble colors: the ones you send and the ones you receive, in the settings (8 colors or the design's), or for one conversation (right click, Bubble colors), which wins over the settings.

0.16.1

• A game icon or mount chosen as a round's picture now fills the whole round (cut round, its square border trimmed), like the people's pictures.

0.16.0 — the big update

Everything added over the last releases, in one place. The release-by-release details are in HISTORY.md.

Whispers

• Whispers in one round: only the people you keep have their own round (right click → Keep a round in the column). Everyone else is in the Whispers round: one thread, and you reply right there.
• A conversation you start with + gets its own round at once.
• Next (n) button in the header, or Tab in the empty typing line: opens the next conversation waiting for you. Made for whisper floods.
• A tab appears for each new whisper, without leaving what you read.
• What a player does, in their conversation (right click → Also show what they do): when they log in and out, what they write in guild, group and channels, their loot, rolls, crafting, achievements.
• Player actions on any name: invite, ask to join, add friend, invite to guild, /who (the answer shows in the conversation), copy name, ignore.
• Delete a conversation without confirmation; bring it back with the + round.

Left column

• Choose the rounds you want: Group, Guild, Everything, channels, game messages, saved (settings and welcome). A place where someone writes your name shows up anyway.
• Pin any round to the top (groups, communities, people, folders).
• Red arrows jump straight to the round with something new.
• Rounds from tiny to large; names under them.
• Pictures for rounds: any emoji, game icon or mount, with a search, in a bigger chooser.

The whole chat

• Everything can be trimmed (gear → What it shows): untick Trade, General, loot, crafting… Other players' crafting and tipsy players are out of it at first.
• Search filters beside the search: only your quests, your loot, all loot, money, experience, item links, messages with your name, your own messages — from everywhere.
• Quests accepted and completed are kept with the game messages.
• Game characters get their face or a plain portrait, no more question mark.
• Red-number badges on tabs (or a dot, or nothing); tabs can be hidden.
• “Unknown” community lines are gone.

Title bar

• Titan Panel-style information: gold, experience, clock and durability by default; bags, honor, reputation, latency and FPS on demand. Icons only or with labels. Click opens bags, character, reputation; drag to move the window; right click to choose.

Look and layout

• Layout page with a live preview: ready-made presets (Recommended, Normal, Compact bubbles, Compact lines, Rounds on top) and your own presets.
• Messages as bubbles, small bubbles or lines; rounds on the side or on top; tabs under the title or in it; slim header and typing line.
• Emoji picker closes after a pick (Shift+click for several); emoji preview above the typing line.

Replacing the game's chat

• /p, /g, /2, /w Name, /r sent by Parley itself; “/s ” switches where the next line goes, like the game's box; optional jump to that place.
• Other commands and macros go through the game's box in one Enter.
• Important group messages (already in a group, invite declined…) raise a notification with a proper icon.
• The welcome recommends replacing the chat and lets you choose your rounds.

Help

• Guided tour (skippable): a bubble on each part of the window — /parley tour, the settings, or What's new.
• What's new window once after each update (/parley news).

Speed and fixes

• Fewer redraws during big pulls (at most a few per second, less in combat); views read only the lines they show.
• The resize corner follows the mouse; the send button no longer sits under it.
