What's new

## v1.1.0

**Added**
- Live best-guess yard estimate on the range status frame while your target is in ranged range (e.g. "Range (20-25yd)"), using the same distance-bracketing technique other range addons use.

**Removed**
- Spell Key Bind (the feature that let you bind a key to auto-cast a different spell depending on melee/range/dead zone/out-of-range). Testing showed this can't work reliably during combat on the current WoW client — Blizzard blocks any keybind action that both reads live custom addon state and casts a spell, the same restriction that already ruled out automatic action bar page switching. There's no working version of this that's better than binding the spell directly with a normal WoW keybind, so it's gone rather than shipping something broken.

**Fixed**
- A UI dropdown in the customization panel could leave the game's UI in a state where in-combat spellcasting got blocked. Not an issue anymore since the dropdown (and the feature it supported) were both removed/rebuilt.
