Change log:

Revision v4.0.1 (Dec 1, 2010)

Summary:

• See quests for any one character quickly, to help find quests you know you did
  
• See quests for all characters in all realms, to help find quests you know you did
  
• See quests completed on the server
  
• Sort by quests completed on the server
  
• Export any quests to copy/paste, though slow
  
• ALT-Left click a quest in the blizzard quest log, to search for quests
  
• ALT-Left click a quest in the MonkeyQuest addon if installed, to search for quests
  
• No repair button at this time, still testing
  
• Not saving to the MapNotes addon at this time, still testing
  
• No completed quest button (>>) above the completed column. Instead sort by "completed server" and use the export button, or use slash, /qh completed

Details:

• New, option to select a character in the main window, instead of going to the option window
  
• New, option to show all characters in the main window, including a status message for reference at the top and bottom of the main window
  
• New, automatically add completed quests from server to the list when available after login or turning in quest to an npc, including a status message for reference at the top of the main window above the completed column (might take 60 seconds to get quests)
  
• New, manually add completed quests from server to the list by sorting by "completed server", or using slash, /qh completed
  
• New, color of completed quests from server shown in cyan, while regular quests from npcs still blue
  
• New, option to sort by "completed server" to see just completed quests from server that are already in the list
  
• New, option to export the currently displayed quests for the currently displayed character, then select all and copy
  
• New, option to export and select all results so we can copy and paste, instead of using CTRL+A to select all
  
• New, slash, /qh completed, to get the raw completed quests from the server and not use what is shown in the main window (for testing only)
  
• New, the search feature can search the quest ID of a quest if it exists (e.g. 4974 finds "For The Horde!")
  
• New, the search feature has a history, by using cursor-up/down when typing (see, AddHistoryLine())
  
• New, ALT-Left click a quest in the blizzard quest log, and it searches here (see, QuestLogTitleButton_OnClick)
  
• New, ALT-Left click a quest in the MonkeyQuest addon if installed, and it searches here (see, MonkeyQuestButton_OnClick)
  
• New, option to select the modifier that the blizzard quest log and other addons use to search for quests (see option window)
  
• New, tooltip shows additional info in quest detail window over the time completed or quest ID fields (for reference only)

• Major bug fix, now the search feature ignores symbols to find any quest title, text or number that is related (see, searchText_filtered)
  
• Major bug fix, now accepting a quest that was abandoned will update and overwrite most of the quest data again in case missing, damaged or just really old. However, completed ones like dailies will not be abandoned nor updated. However, if the title, objectives or description change, then a new quest is just added from scratch and nothing is overwritten. This is likely after an expansion or patch where quests change slightly.
  
• Major bug fix, now SHIFT-left click on a quest in the main window will post to the chat window without errors
  
• Major bug fix, now cache the quest ID and links from the server at least once in case the \World of Warcraft\Cache\ folder is erased, so that the completed quest titles and descriptions are always available (see, QuestHistory_QIDCache())
  
• Major bug fix, now search faster to handle lists > 10000 quests and avoid lag, including a status message for reference at the bottom of the main window

• Minor bug fix, now a different sort dropdown interface in the main window
  
• Minor bug fix, now a different character dropdown interface in the main window

• Minor bug fix, now quests are sorted by title for quick reference if sorting on other columns
  
• Minor bug fix, now remove reference to QuestHistoryAll used for testing
  
• Minor bug fix, now a larger box when editing accepted & completed order to see easier (to see all 5 digits, instead of 4)
  
• Minor bug fix, now a larger box when editing accepted & completed time to see +365 days (to see all 13 digits, instead of 11)
  
• Minor bug fix, now a larger box when editing location coordinates to see easier (to see all 4 digits plus decimal point, instead of 3)
  
• Minor bug fix, now searching for a quest now uses a checksum on both the quest objective and description, cause completed quests from an npc only have descriptions, and completed quests from the server only have objectives
  
• Minor bug fix, now search faster, by rebuilding checksum earlier at login, or rebuilding checksum after editing a quest
  
• Minor bug fix, now more space for the title and headers in the main window (see, HelpFrame-Top, QUESTHISTORY_ITEMS_SHOWN, QuestHistoryListFrame1)
  
• Minor bug fix, now use highlightDetailedRealm, highlightDetailedCharacter, instead of relying on sorted table
  
• Minor bug fix, option to search quests in other addons if they use the script, QuestHistoryFrameSearch(YourVariableWithQuestName), instead of using, QuestHistoryFrameSearchEditBox_OnEnterPressed_External(text)
  
• Minor bug fix, now verify the accepted or logged time is always saved when accepting quests from npcs
  
• Minor bug fix, now save the logged time when adding quest manually in the option window
  
• Minor bug fix, now verify the time accepted/logged is always saved with each quest
  
• Minor bug fix, now save the absolute time for accepted/logged/completed quests too, not just the played time; absolute time accuracy is +/1 minute, played time accuracy is +/-1 second; initially all quests currently in the list are logged with today's date and sorted by accepted order
  
• Minor bug fix, now generate quest links automatically from the quest ID and quest level, instead of saving the whole link with each quest which is slow and wastes space
  
• Minor bug fix, now editing the quest ID updates the readonly displayed link (for reference only)
  
• Minor bug fix, now convert any location coordinates after login to save space and memory (from 14 decimal places to 4) (see, QuestHistory_UpgradeData())
  
• Minor bug fix, now convert any quest links after login to get the quest ID and quest level (see, QuestHistory_UpgradeData())
  
• Minor bug fix, now all localization files have the same structure and variables for consistency
  
• Minor bug fix, now the windows scroll when typing in any window, updated ScrollingEdit_OnTextChanged() (for cata)
  
• Minor bug fix, now use global tables and wipe() not erase with {}, to recycle and avoid memory garbage collection in loops
  
• Minor bug fix, now localize value for tables in for-pairs() and for-do, to avoid memory garbage collection
  
• Minor bug fix, now refreshing list does not close edit window, unless switching characters, selecting options, closing the main window, etc
  
• Minor bug fix, search feature only on usable fields, not useless data

• Disabled feature, removed the completed quest button (>>) above the completed column. See sorting by "completed server" and using the export button, or using slash, /qh completed
  
• Disabled feature, repairing and removing duplicates has old and untested code (see, QuestHistory_RepairData())

Revision v4.0.0b (Nov 12, 2010)

• Updated TOC file for patch 3.3.0

Revision v3.2.0b (Sep 25, 2009)

• Minor bug fix. Using a generic marble background texture when editing quests. There is no generic parchment background texture. Affected by the blizzard questlog frame moving the parchment frame to the right. (forgot to do in august revision)

Revision v3.2.0 (Aug 7, 2009)

• Major bug fix. Using GetQuestDifficultyColor()
  
• Major bug fix. Using a generic marble background texture in details. There is no generic parchment background texture. Affected by the blizzard questlog frame moving the parchment frame to the right.
  
• Major bug fix. Repositioning textures in detail frame so not covered. Affected by the blizzard questlog frame size and layers changing.

Revision v3.1.0b (Apr 19, 2009)

• Minor bug fix. A few quests had special spell rewards that have messed up the title and notes in the log when completing the quest. An old bug. (thx Saur)

Revision v3.1.0 (Apr 17, 2009)

• Major bug fix, accept and complete quest buttons changed to use HookScript() for hooks to detect quests broken by patch
  
• Minor bug fix, shift-click a quest from the list to paste into chat without errors. Must already be typing something for it to work. E.g. LFG [80] The Rider of Frost in Icecrown

Revision v3.0.2e (Jan 5, 2009)

• Minor bug fix that affected the original blizzard quest log. Now the currently selected quest in the original blizzard quest log will remain highlighted as expected and not moved to the last quest in the log. (thanks for the fix, Luke1410)

Revision v3.0.2d (Dec 22, 2008)

• Minor bug fix where a quest was not added to the log and should have been. New quests will now compare the quest text when two quests have the same checksum information. Comparing quest text is slow but adding a quest still remains fast since very rare for two quests to have the same checksum information. Currently affected 2 quests out of 2000 quests. For example, a quest like, "The Power of the Elements" had the same checksum information as "The Last Barov", so both were considered the same quest and only one was added to the log. Now both will be added properly.

Revision v3.0.2b (Oct 27, 2008)

• Minor bug fix to use OptionsBoxTemplate and not OptionFrameBoxTemplate, to avoid error in FrameXML.log. Still has some annoying overlapping text using Blizzard default fonts. (thx brandmauer)

Revision v3.0.2 (Oct 24, 2008)

• Bug fix DisplayTimePlayed() parameters

Revision v3.0.0 (Oct 23, 2008)

• Updated TOC file for patch 3.0.0

Revision v2.3.0 (Nov 16, 2007)

• Updated TOC file for patch 2.3.0

Revision v2.1.2 (Jun 29, 2007)

• Bug fix, dropdowns anywhere in game no longer disappear in 2 seconds that you are trying to click on. Rebuilt the addon's sort dropdown on main screen, and character dropdown in options, so that it uses the secured template, UIDropDownMenu.lua, more reliably. So far tested a week and no issues.

Revision v2.1.1b (Jun 12, 2007)

• Escape can closes windows (thx thortok2000)
  
• Windows closer together to save space. Smaller gap (thx exie)

Revision v2.1.1 (Jun 08, 2007)

• Bug fix, be able to open windows even if dead
  
• Bug fix, so onupdate() stops hiding window if already hidden, and does not close game tooltips.
  
• Bug fix, so questhistory windows stay open and not docked with the blizzard interface windows anymore. Questhistory assumed two windows can be docked and juggled at the same time. I see conflicts and incompatible with Blizzard's secured template, uiparent.lua, that handles one window at a time and can close any one window without notice. Most other addons and blizzard interfaces use one window, so questhistory was unique. I gave up troubleshooting and docking the windows, assuming the secured template is trying to close everything automatically while questhistory tries to manually kep them open with no guarentee.

Revision v2.1.0 (May 23, 2007)

• Updated TOC file for patch 2.1.0

Revision v2.0.12c (May 19, 2007)

• Bug fix GetQuestLogTitle() for compability with ExtendedQuestLog, thx tayedaen
  
• Remember last sort at login. See checkbox option next to dropdown and columns, thx Thortok2000
  
• Traditional Chinese localization, thx hiyiyi
  
• Verified new quests are adding most of the time to the log. Addon already scans the current quests in the blizzard quest log with a timer and adds to the addon if not already.

Revision v2.0.12b (Apr 27, 2007)

• Toc update (thanks IceHunter)
  
• Major bug fix to change event to always detect quests and then apply delay, rather than use delay before checking quest. Hopefully no more lost quests when accepted.
  
• Major bug fix to verified addon already scans the current quests in the blizzard quest log and add to the addon if not already. Added short delay so not instantaneous. Hopefully no more lost quests when accepted.
  
• Correct spelling error which blocked tooltip on item links. (thx Zidomo)
  
• Process negative sockets on item links properly.
  
• Synchronize two arrays SortedTable[] and QuestHistory_List[] after deleting quests with after QuestHistory_DeleteQuest() and stop crashing (thx Thortok2000)
  
• Tooltip to properly wraparound text from notes when mouseover quests in questlog.
  
• Stop crashing if quest categories and descriptions are broken by ExtendedQuestLog or other addons. (thx haradeas)

Revision v2.0.12 (Apr 14, 2007)

• Toc update
  
• Major bug fix to stop game from freezing and not loose quests all the time when accepted/completed. Rare but still a possibility to loose, so just abandon and accept quest again. Original problem was obvious when over 1000 quests in logs.
  
• Major bug fix to stop using the slow gsub when scanning and updating quest objectives, and stop freezing game.
  
• Major bug fix to add checksum to help compare decriptions faster, and stop freezing game.
  
• Bug fix GetQuestLogTitle() affected by patch
  
• Bug fix item links affected by patch
  
• Bug fix show/hide fields properly that are empty
  
• Bug fix to hide clear button after using it
  
• Bug fix tooltip in list of quests to show notes from that quest
  
• Bug fix save button for quest notes to save even if empty
  
• Bug fix to increase size to edit coordinates in quests since decimal
  
• Permanently disable, LOG_OBJECTIVES_STATUS, since slows down game after each objective updates. Not needed anyway since turning in completed quest can fix everything. And it's better to use MonkeyQuest addon for this feature or the automatic quest tracking in blizzard interface option (hint hint).
  
• Tooltip for LOG_OBJECTIVES_STATUS to indicate disabled
  
• Verify capability to search for quest from other addons (see notes above)
  
• (bug not yet fixed - showing quest level in the blizzard quest log window or npc dialog window)

Revision QuestHistory[FelStone] v20000-1 (Dec 10, 2006)

• Toc update

Revision v20000-1 QuestHistory[Emerald] v20000-1 (Dec 10, 2006)

• Updated for Patch 20000 by Raleran.
  
• Fixed frame problems.
  
• IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST backup your QuestHistory.lua (SavedVariables) file!
  
• QuestHistory by Jasters in 2004. Adopted by Dsanai as QuestHistoryEmerald, after Jasters left World of Warcraft, in late 2005. Adopted by Jtbalogh as QuestHistoryFelstone in April 07.

Revision v10900-1

• Added MetaMap support (as alternative to MapNotes).
  
• Fixed background graphic display issues (thanks to blankstare2@Curse)
  
• Added slash-command to enable/disable Quest Level display at NPC's. Type /qh levels to toggle.
  
• Forced current realm's characters to sort to top of the dropdown list.
  
• Fixed error that occurred with the dropdown list when you had a large number of characters on various servers.
  
• Changed version structure to match other projects.

Revision v2.8

• Added quest level display to Quest Selection window at NPC's. Only occurs when there's more than one quest available.

Revision v2.72

• Changed the WorldMap cycler to the zoning event, so hopefully the Blizzard 0,0 bug will be killed PRIOR to any Quest activity.
  
• Removed the circuit that was getting people stuck on quests in instances.
  
• Increased individual quest-accept delay to 1 second. This may not be long enough. Let me know!

Revision v2.71

• Removed the 0,0 traps, as I've only received reports of 0,0's inside instances since adding the traps. Since instances are ALWAYS going to be 0,0, we are going to assume that things are kosher at the moment.

Revision v2.7

• Changed Unknown Entity search string to a localized global (so all languages should be covered) (courtesy Asjaskan@Curse)
  
• Now strips any third-party quest level-adding addon text from the titles (courtesy Asjaskan@Curse)
  
• Added new trap for 0,0 coordinate bug.
  
• Added possible 0,0 fix, using a WorldMap show/hide cycler.
  
• Finally fixed the delay on subsequent accepted quests (speed-accept bug).
  
• Fixed errors that occurred upon login if you weren't an existing QH user.
  
• Updated to TOC 1800.

Revision v2.6

• Fixed Unknown Entity bug (more like, plague).
  
• Added Unknown Entity checks/fixes to the login procedure, and to the Repair module.
  
• Updated for Patch 1700.
