Skyriding HUD

v2.1.7

• Icon Layout expanded from 3 to 7 options for Above/Below modes:
  • Above Bars — Ends (existing behavior)
  • Above Bars — Side by Side — both icons adjacent at center
  • Above Bars — Centered with Gap — both icons centered with one icon-width (48px) gap between them
  • Below Bars variants of the same three options

v2.1.6

• Removed the 1px tip row from the dropdown triangle arrow — was rendering off-center at certain UI scales; triangle now ends cleanly at 2px

v2.1.5

• Dropdown arrow replaced with stacked horizontal textures forming a smooth filled triangle — eliminates diagonal rendering and pixelation entirely
• Close button redesigned: X is now two rotated textures (font-independent), danger-colored background fades in on hover, X brightens to white on hover

v2.1.4

• Dropdown arrow line thickness increased from 1.5 to 2.5 for better visibility

v2.1.3

• Dropdown arrow (▾) replaced — FontString rendered a rectangle because Expressway/FRIZQT lack the Unicode character; replaced with two Line objects forming a geometric V shape

v2.1.2

• Theme.lua font loading wrapped in pcall — in 12.0.5, SetFont() throws on missing font paths instead of returning false silently; this crashed Theme.lua at load time and prevented the entire addon from loading
• MakeFont calls wrapped in SafeMakeFont — font objects can no longer be nil, safe fallback to FRIZQT guaranteed
• Nil guards added for C_ActionBar and IsFlying upvalues

v2.1.1

• GetBonusBarOffset() → C_ActionBar.GetBonusBarOffset() — Blizzard removed the global wrapper in 12.0.5 and moved it to the C_ActionBar namespace; caused the HUD to never activate
  • Common root cause: WoW patch 12.0.5.67088 removed or relocated several global APIs. v2.1.1–2.1.3 collectively address all confirmed breakages from this patch.

v2.1.0

• Icon Layout — 3 layout modes: Left & Right (default), Above Bars, Below Bars
• Icon Swap — Swap Second Wind and Whirling Surge positions independently of layout
• Version display — Addon version shown in top-right corner of settings panel

v2.0.7

• Second Wind cooldown swipe is fully transparent when charges > 0; dark swipe returns only at 0 charges. Sweep line always visible
• Tick color picker moved to Display section
• Renamed to "Settings Checkbox Tick Color"

v2.0.6

• Second Wind: desaturates only at 0 charges — stays colored at 1 or more
• Whirling Surge: stack number removed, cooldown swirl + desaturate only
• Removed unused upvalues (C_Spell_IsSpellUsable, unpack)

v2.0.5

• Stack numbers now show 0 when empty (both icons)
• Second Wind stack moved to top-right corner of icon
• Stack text and timer now render above cooldown swirl (overlay frame)
• Tick color picker added to settings (WoW native ColorPicker)
• Settings panel resizable from bottom corners
• ESC menu mode: drag and resize locked, panel anchored in place
• /skyhud and ESC menu settings are fully in sync

v2.0.4

• Checkbox tick color changed to soft ice-blue — visible but harmonious with dark theme

v2.0.3

• Checkbox tick now renders as a proper checkmark (Blizzard texture) instead of a rectangle
• SUI.db write guard — prevents DEFAULT_PROFILE corruption before SavedVariables loads
• Nil guards added to all profile mutation functions

v2.0.2

• Blizzard's "3m" countdown removed from Second Wind — replaced by our M:SS timer
• /skyhud "Config panel not loaded" error fixed — CurrentProfile() now nil-safe before MigrateDB runs

v2.0.1

• /skyhud command no longer stays in chat / causes error (nil rest crash fixed)
• Vigor timer now counts down in real-time every tick
• Black icon flash after /reload or login while mounted fixed
• Second Wind cooldown shows M:SS format
• UNIT_POWER_UPDATE ALTERNATE filter restored

v2.0.0

• Modern flat UI — no BackdropTemplate, UIPanelButton, UIDropDownMenu
• Expressway font embedded (4 font objects, fallback protected)
• Void/Light Midnight color theme
• Profile system with /skyhud profile commands
• UIDropDownMenu replaced with MenuUtil (11.0+ menu system)
• GetPlayerMapPosition secret-value crash guard
• RegisterUnitEvent for player-only events
• ConfigPanelInit.lua removed (was a dead stub)
• All deprecated APIs replaced (C_Spell, C_UnitAuras, C_AddOns, C_ActionBar)
