What's new

# Changelog

## 1.5.0

- **The list now shows which boss drops each item**, in a column of its own beside the
  name. A BiS list reads as a plan for the night — which bosses actually matter to
  you — instead of a set of names you have to look up elsewhere.
- **Tier rows name the boss that drops the token.** Blizzard's own data credits the
  Pandaria Celestials with several tier pieces, because they dropped some outright; the
  column follows the *token* instead, so a tier row points at the raid boss that can
  actually give it to you.
- Hovering a row adds the boss and the raid to the tooltip in full, since a long name
  truncates in the column. Items shared by two bosses read as both, and where too many
  bosses share one item to name a single culprit it names the instance instead — never a
  guess at one of them.
- An empty column is information too: it means the item is not a boss drop at all.
  Crafted gear, vendor purchases and the questline cloaks all read blank.
- The window is wider to make room. Squeezing the column in at the old width would have
  cost the item name half its space.
- Built from Blizzard's Encounter Journal data, generated offline like the rest — no
  runtime lookup, no other addon involved, and no measurable cost per refresh.

## 1.4.0

- **Tier pieces are swapped for the token that actually drops.** Paste
  "Helmet of Celestial Harmony" from a BiS guide and the list stores
  "Helm of the Cursed Protector", because the piece itself never drops — the
  class token does, and a wishlist naming the piece could never fire. The swap
  is always announced, so the list never quietly holds something you did not
  type.
- Every spec variant of a slot maps to the same token, so it does not matter
  which one your guide names. Two pieces sharing a token stay one row.
- Covers all three Mists tiers, generated from Blizzard's own game data. A piece
  that cannot be resolved to exactly one token is left alone rather than guessed
  at.
- Faster list sorting. Gear-slot order resolved each item's slot on every
  comparison; it is now worked out once per refresh. A 15-row list went from
  0.37ms to 0.12ms, and a 150-row list from 13.8ms to 1.1ms.

## 1.3.0

- Add items from inside the list window. A box and an Add button sit under the
  rows; Enter submits, and focus is kept afterwards so you can add several in a
  row. The box only clears on a successful add, so a typo stays there to fix.
- **Shift-click an item anywhere in the game** while the box has focus and its
  link drops straight in. It only captures while the box is focused and the
  window is open, so it never swallows a link meant for chat.
- Names, item links, item ids and a trailing `x2` all work in the box, exactly as
  they do in `/sir add` — both now run the same code.

## 1.2.1

- **Fixed: the roll popup could silently fail to appear.** It waited for the item
  link, which the client does not always have ready when the roll starts, and gave
  up after a single retry. It now matches on the item name, which arrives
  immediately and is what the wishlist matches on anyway, and keeps trying for
  about a second. Seen in the wild: a wishlisted ring rolled with no popup, and
  the loot message crossed it off seconds later.
- **Right-clicking a row no longer deletes it.** The whole row was a large target
  with nothing to say it was destructive, and there was no confirmation and no
  message. Right-click now steps the count *back*, which also undoes a stray
  left-click that marked something collected — and a collected item stops
  alerting, so that mattered more than it looked.
- Removing an item now prints the exact command to add it back.

## 1.2.0

- Per-spec lists. Items can be tagged with the specs that want them, and a button
  above the list filters to one spec at a time.
- **Alerts always fire on every spec's items, whichever spec you are in.** The tag
  filters the window only — loot does not care what spec you are playing, so an
  item tagged for your off-spec still alerts, still lets you roll, and still
  crosses off.
- Add or import while filtered to a spec and everything is tagged for it, so you
  can paste one BiS list per spec. An item both specs want stays a single row
  carrying both tags rather than becoming a duplicate.
- Ctrl-click a row to tag or untag it. Items with no tag at all show under every
  spec, which is what an item you want regardless of spec looks like — so lists
  made before this update are unchanged and need no migration.
- `/sir spec [all|<name>]` does the same from chat, and exporting follows the
  filter so a single spec's list can be copied out on its own.
- The spec button only appears once you have dual spec, since with one spec every
  item would carry the same tag. Nothing is lost in the meantime: tags survive, so
  a list tagged earlier works again the moment a second spec is back.
- The addon version now shows in the top-left corner of the list window.

## 1.1.0

- Sort the list by gear slot instead of alphabetically. A button in the footer toggles
  between `Sort: Slot` and `Sort: A-Z`, and `/sir sort [slot|name]` does the same from
  chat. Slot order runs helm down to off-hand, the way a BiS list reads.
- Crossed-off items still sink to the bottom in either mode, so the top of the list is
  always what you still need.
- Tier tokens sort into their real slot. They are not equippable and report no equip
  location, so the slot is read from the item name instead — `Helm of the Cursed
  Protector` files under helm rather than dropping to the end.

## 1.0.0

First release. Same code as 1.0.0-beta, promoted after the roll popup was confirmed
working in a live group loot roll — item dropped, popup came up, roll cast from the
popup, won.

- Import a wishlist by pasting item names, one per line. Item links and item IDs work
  too; leading bullets and numbering are stripped.
- Sound and a movable popup when a wishlisted item drops.
- Need / Greed / Pass buttons on the alert, wired to the live group loot roll, with a
  countdown bar and ineligibility reasons.
- Automatic cross-off when you win a roll, receive loot, get personal loot, or buy the
  item from a vendor.
- Items you want twice (a main-hand and off-hand of the same weapon) show `0/2`, tick to
  `1/2` on the first win while still alerting, and cross off at `2/2`.
- Per-character or account-wide lists.
- Icons and quality colours resolve before you have ever seen the item.
- Adjustable window background opacity and border shade.
