You can help translate PitBull for your language with the localization tool.
Changelog Highlights 
v4.1.20 changes
- Fixed frames getting stuck with incomplete unit infomation. This should fix things like the name getting stuck as "Unknown" and class colors being wrong.
v4.1.19 changes
- Update for 8.2
v4.1.18 changes
- Updated
ArtifactPowerBarto hide if your azerite item is not equipped. - Fixed
ResurrectionIconandSummonIcongetting stuck shown after zoning. - Updated unit and group selector dropdowns to show which items are disabled.
v4.1.17 changes
- Added
ResurrectionIconindictor to show incoming and pending resurrection spells. - Added
SummonIconindictor to show incoming and pending summons. - Updated
PhaseIconindicator to show on players with a different warmode setting. - Updated the vehicle swap handling to work like the default UI. For example, this fixes being able to click on the person in the pod in the Antoran High Command encounter from your raid frames. Unfortunately, it only works in raid, so things like selecting the player in the Tol Dagor cannon are still cumbersome.
- Added sorting and filtering party groups by role.
- Aura: Added Arcane Torrent for Blood Elves and updated purge filters.
v4.1.0 changes
- Frame anchoring. For example, you can anchor your
Target of targetframe to yourTargetframe so that it moves when you move yourTargetframe. In config mode, frames anchored to another frame will show a gray line connecting them at the anchor points set. -
Multiple unit frames
- Want a player cast bar that auto-hides and doesn't squish your other bars together? Create a new unit frame and set the unit to
Player, set a layout that only hasCast barenabled on it, and anchor it to your original player frame. - Due to how the indicator offset system works, it makes fine-tuning the position of secondary resource icons awkward. You can now create a duplicate unit frame for positioning your combo points exactly where you want.
- Frame names now use the unit frame label instead of the unit. For example, PitBull4_Frames_player is now PitBull4_Frames_Player, PitBull4_Frames_targettarget is now "PitBull4_Frames_Target's target". You'll need to update any addons (kgPanels) that anchor to your unit frames. You can check the name of the frame with
/framestack.
- Want a player cast bar that auto-hides and doesn't squish your other bars together? Create a new unit frame and set the unit to
- Default frame positions. Starting from scratch no longer dumps all of the frames in the middle of your screen. They will now show in a layout similar to the Blizzard layout.
- Added Masque support for auras. If you use Masque, you can set the skin for the layout under Aura->Display or in Masque under "PitBull4 Aura". Two PitBull skins are provided that will work with hiding/showing the border as set in the settings, or you can disable Masque support completely in the module options (Modules->Aura).
If you updated recently and PB4 stopped working, close and reopen the Twitch client to make sure you have the latest version of the client then make sure you have PB4 v4.1.20, not v4.1.20-classic2.
You can switch which version Twitch has downloaded by clicking on PB4 in your addon list, clicking the Versions tab, and then clicking the install icon in the Actions column for v4.1.20.

Thanks much! What's the difference between v4.1.20 and v4.1.20-nolib?
Like Hengrad, since the latest update I have no Pitbull unit frames, It shows in the addons list as enabled yet no options and no frames. Must be due to a change client side because SexyMaps is doing the same thing.
Pitbull's not loading at all since the recent update, despite having it enabled. Any idea what's wrong?
Hey, is there any chance we can ever get a "Growth Direction" option for "Column's Center, Rows Down" or however you would word it? Something a bit more advanced where Column's expand from the center outwards in both directions evenly instead from one side to another?
Sorry, the position options are limited by what Blizzard offers and the first unit frame isn't anchored in a way that allows that
In reply to nebula169:
Ah, fair enough, I found a work around. Thanks for the help/explanation though :D
If you don't mind I do have two more questions. Is there any way to show absorb shields on frames without the "Overshield"? A way to show absorb shields within the health bar frame instead of extending outside of the frame? And my second question, is there a way to make health percentages show only whole numbers and not include decimals?
Thanks again for helping with my questions and for such a great addon, been using pitbull for years but have just recently gotten around to customizing my layout a bit more and moving away from standard raid frames.
Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
Fellow Classic players, let's get this man some donations for his work.
I've been slowly getting PB4 working in Classic (https://github.com/nebularg/PitBull4/tree/classic) and figured it's usable enough to throw an alpha up. Feel free to create issues on GitHub for it.
I am having issues when joining a party where other members names are 'unknown' until a reload my UI; I've tried updating the name lua to various options but cant seem to get it to work
In reply to cwillms:
I have also been having this issue. Idk whats causing it, but to me it seems really random. Sometimes all 4 of the party members show as unknown, sometimes its only 1-3, and other times it doesn't happen at all.
As mentioned, a reload does fix it so I guess its not really a big issue. However, it is slightly inconvenient to have to /reload right after already loading into a random dungeon.
I'll look into this. I was aware that a Blizzard code change caused this, but I thought PitBull updated aggressively enough that it would fix itself (ie, it doesn't happen for me :P), but I guess not
In reply to nebula169:
No worries =) Pitbull is by far my most favorite addon. Its probably the most customizable unit frames addon that exists. Its kinda confusing at first, but its so worth it once you get the hang of it. I've been using it for years now and I still don't fully understand the more complicated stuff like the advanced aura filters. It truly is an amazing addon.
Sometimes there is a blue border around my target if its from the other faction. I dont know what it is and I disabled all modules that could generate such a border. Anyone know what it could be?
Probaly the Highlight module, showing you can dispel magic from the target
In reply to nebula169:
Sorry, I ment the "Highlights" option of the Aura module. You can disable it under Aura->Highlights or change it however you'd like.
Also, deleting things is pretty silly.
Is there an option to show character lvls, not finding it and feeling stupid.
With the update for adding in Res and Summon Indicators. The sorting and filtering for Groups is now very buggy. I can no longer filter by the group itself such as Group 1 raid. Instead it keeps reseting to Show all.
I changed filtering to reset to show all instead of allowing it to filter everything (never showing the group). So if the filter type has no boxes checked (ie, you uncheck the last checked box), it reverts to show all.
