Changelog

All notable changes to Scrolling Chat Text are documented here.

[1.5.1] - 2026-08-22

Changed

• /sct test now loops until you stop it (/sct stop) instead of ending after 30 seconds; the sample messages repeat, so it doubles as a live preview of the colored prefixes.
• /sct on its own now opens the options window (previously only /sct config did).

[1.5.0] - 2026-08-21

Added

• Chat-type prefixes ([Guild], [Party], etc.) are now colored to match their channel — guild green, party blue, raid orange, and so on.
• Frame Height can now be set as high as 1000 (previously capped at 500), for large displays.

Changed

• Updated interface versions: Retail 12.1.0 (120100) and Classic Era 1.15.9 (11509).
• Clarified in the options that Text Scale takes effect immediately, without a /reload.

[1.4.1] - 2026-08-06

Changed

• Updated Burning Crusade Classic (Anniversary) interface version to 2.5.6 (20506).

[1.4.0] - 2026-06-14

Added

• Font and Font Outline selectors in the options panel (/sct config → General). The font list is populated from LibSharedMedia, so fonts from other font-pack addons appear automatically.
• Party leader, raid leader, and instance leader messages now display. They fire separate events from normal party/raid/instance chat, so they were previously dropped — they're covered by the matching Party/Raid/Instance toggles.
• Battle.net whispers now display (covered by the Whisper toggle).

[1.3.0] - 2026-06-14

Fixed

• Messages not scrolling on World of Warcraft 12.0 (Midnight). The frame fade used UIFrameFadeIn/UIFrameFadeOut, which overflow the stack on frames with outlined text in 12.0; replaced with alpha animations.
• Font setup error on 12.0 caused by the "NONE" outline value no longer being accepted by SetFont; it is now normalized.

[1.1.0] - 2026-06-13

Added

• Support for World of Warcraft 12.0 (Midnight).

Changed

• Updated Classic flavor interface versions: Burning Crusade Classic (2.5.5), Mists of Pandaria Classic (5.5.4), and Classic Era (1.15.8).
