🌟 New Features & Enhancements

  • Smart Word Matching: The addon now strictly looks for exact words instead of partial matches (e.g., highlighting "Nic" will no longer trigger on "Nice").
  • Multiple Highlights: If a keyword is mentioned multiple times in a single message, all instances will now be highlighted.
  • Custom Highlight Color: Added a built-in Color Picker! You can now choose any color for your chat highlights, and the screen flash will dynamically match your chosen color.
  • Beautiful Screen Flash: Replaced the basic yellow flash with a smooth, pulsating edge-glow animation (using the native WoW LowHealth texture) that matches your selected color.
  • Extended Tracking: Added support for Instance chat (/i), Instance Leader (/il), and Boss/NPC whispers & yells. You'll never miss a boss calling you out again!
  • Simulate Button: Added a "Simulate" button in the options panel to instantly test how your chosen color and screen flash will look in action.
  • Global Toggle: Added an "Enable Addon" checkbox at the top of the settings to quickly pause the addon without logging out.

🛠️ Fixes & Under-The-Hood Improvements

  • Link Protection: Fixed an annoying issue where the addon would accidentally highlight part of an Item or Spell link (|H...|h), breaking its clickability.
  • Self-Ignore Logic: The addon will no longer trigger if you type your own name or keywords in the chat.
  • UI Redesign: Completely rebuilt the Sound Selector menu. It's now a clean, standalone window instead of a buggy popup, preventing UI overlapping and memory leaks.
  • Sound Previews: You can now preview sounds directly from the Sound Selector before assigning them to a keyword.
  • Removed Obsolete Sounds: Cleaned up the sound list to remove outdated SOUNDKIT IDs that were causing Lua errors on certain WoW client versions.
  • Instant UI Refresh: Adding a new keyword or ignored player will now instantly update the options panel list without needing to close and reopen it.
  • Cross-Version Support: The settings panel now correctly registers in both modern Retail (using the new Settings API) and Classic clients.
  • Removed Cooldown System: The cooldown slider has been removed in favor of a simpler, always-ready approach. The addon will intelligently play the alert sound only once per message to prevent ear-rape.
  • Fixed Lua Errors: Resolved the attempt to index field 'editBox' (a nil value) error when adding keywords, caused by recent Blizzard API changes to StaticPopupDialogs.
