[1.3.0] - 2026-03-21

Added

• Session navigation in the panel via < / > buttons in the footer
• Badge shows session name when browsing

Fixed

• Class colors: replaced RAID_CLASS_COLORS with hardcoded CLASS_COLORS table — reliable in TBC Classic Anniversary

[1.2.0] - 2026-03-21

Added

• Player names colored by class (RAID_CLASS_COLORS), class stored in RDTClassCache
• "Most Valuable Corpse" — title for the player with the most deaths, displayed below the ranking
• Session management: session is automatically saved when leaving a group (zone + date), max 5 sessions (FIFO)
• /rdt sessions — list all saved sessions
• /rdt session <n> — view session n read-only in the panel
• Total death count included in /rdt post output
• TOC: icon (Spell_Shadow_DeathCoil) and category (Hall of Shame)

Changed

• Post output always uses EMOTE channel (no more channel detection)
• PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD no longer triggers a data reset — only actual group join resets data

Fixed

• Hunter Feign Death detected via 3-second delay — only affects Hunters
• Party/raid members found via UnitExists() iteration instead of GetNumRaidMembers() (unreliable in TBC Classic Anniversary)
• Data was lost after /reload due to incorrect auto-reset on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD
• Only deaths of own group members are counted (no more open-world tracking)

[1.1.0] - 2026-03-21

Added

• Minimap button via embedded LibDBIcon-1.0 (LibStub + LibDataBroker-1-1 embedded)
• Post top-5 deaths to raid/party chat — /rdt post and post button in footer
• Test mode with dummy data — /rdt test / /rdt test clear; posts to /say in test mode
• Panel appears automatically when joining a group/raid
• Panel hides automatically when leaving the group/raid
• Death data automatically reset when joining a new group/raid
• Design palette D inspired by FishingKit (cyan accent, uniform colors)
• Helper function MakeFooterBtn eliminates duplicated button code
• Helper function GetSortedDeaths — shared sorted list for display and post
• /rdt debug — shows entries, panel size, and minimap angle

Changed

• /rdt alone toggles the panel (show/hide/toggle removed as separate commands)
• Minimap button position stored in RDTConfig.minimapPos (migrated from minimapAngle)
• Title color changed to cyan (#47bef5), red accent removed
• Close button and footer buttons redesigned in FishingKit style
• Header bar removed in favor of a single divider line below title and icon

Fixed

• Hunter Feign Death was incorrectly counted as a death — fixed via unconsciousKiller flag in combat log
• Deaths of other players in the open world were counted — now only own party/raid members (UnitInRaid / UnitInParty)
• Group events registered via pcall to prevent addon load errors on invalid event names
• FontString multiline issue in TBC Classic: two anchor points (TOPLEFT + BOTTOMRIGHT) prevented multiline — switched to SetWidth() + single anchor
• Debug artifacts (UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage, debug print in UpdateDisplay) removed
• Outdated minimapAngle field name in debug output corrected to minimapPos
