# TravelingMerchant Changelog

## Version 1.0.6 — October 10, 2026

1. Fixed storefront catalogs failing to populate after the latest WoW Forever update changed how realm-qualified player names can appear across addon channels and whispers.
2. Added canonical seller matching so `Player` and `Player-Realm` responses update the same open storefront.
3. Preserved the seller's current delivery address for catalog, purchase, service, and chat messages.
4. Added retry handling for addon-message throttling instead of silently dropping catalog packets.
5. Increased catalog request retries and extended the loading timeout for delayed whispers.
6. Applied the same player-name compatibility fix to crafting-service catalogs, purchase acknowledgements, and both framed chat systems.
7. Changed storefronts and service catalogs to display each entry as it arrives, so a delayed or missing final packet no longer hides received items.
