All notable changes to StatPanel are recorded here.

This project follows Semantic Versioning and the format of Keep a Changelog.

[2.0.1] - 2026-07-21

Fixed

• Opposing visibility rules could hide the panel for good. Hide during combat and Show only during combat were independent checkboxes, so ticking both left no state in which the panel was visible — it simply never appeared, with no error and nothing on screen to say which setting was responsible. Hide inside instances and Hide outside instances had the same problem. Each pair is now mutually exclusive: turning one on clears its opposite. Profiles already carrying a conflicting pair — from an import string, a hand-edited SavedVariables or a 1.x upgrade — are repaired when the profile loads.

[2.0.0] - 2026-07-21

A rewrite. Everything the panel draws is now read from saved settings instead of hardcoded constants, and the addon is split into focused modules.

Fixed

• Movement speed capped near the mount's rated maximum. The code read the 2nd and 3rd return values of GetUnitSpeed, which are the mount's configured maxima rather than actual velocity, and halved the result in some branches. Skyriding dives go far past those numbers. Speed is now taken from real velocity, preferring C_PlayerInfo.GetGlidingInfo() forward speed while gliding, so ground, flight, swimming and skyriding all work without special-casing the mount.
• Hundreds of errors per minute on patch 12.0 from expanding value templates with gsub, which is forbidden for secret values. See Changed below.
• Text could draw past the panel and over the game world. Nothing bounded the fontstrings; every text element is now clamped and truncated, and auto-width accounts for the priority line.
• The options panel could not be opened by ID — category.ID was being set to the addon name, overwriting the numeric ID the game assigns.
• Auto-scaling bar ceilings were written into the saved profile. They are session state; they are now runtime-only, and stale copies are cleared on load.
• The live preview could render behind its own backdrop: Rebuild re-applied the saved frame strata, which outranks frame level.
• Closing the options could raise a taint error, because the canvas OnHide runs inside Blizzard's secure panel teardown.

Changed

• Formatting rebuilt around patch 12.0 secret values. A $token template is compiled into a printf format string, and the secret is passed as an argument to SetFormattedText — one of the APIs permitted to receive one. Secrets can no longer reach gsub, arithmetic or a comparison. Widths are verified at the point of use, because a widget that has held a secret reports a secret width afterwards. Smoothing, auto-scaling and value gradients degrade instead of erroring.
• Options controls are built from raw frames rather than Blizzard's option templates, several of which have been removed across expansions.
• Stat values now default to the total effect shown on the character sheet; the previous rating-only behavior is still available as an option.

Added

• Full appearance control: colors, textures, transparency, borders, fonts, sizes, padding, alignment and layout.
• A text-only row style (Mastery: 285 - 10.65%) alongside status bars.
• Token-based value formats per stat, and for the panel title.
• 21 presets, including two that match a live ElvUI installation's theme.
• Optional LibSharedMedia-3.0 support, soft-detected; nothing embedded.
• Parry, Block, Strength, Agility, Intellect, Stamina, and a "Primary" row that resolves to the character's actual scaling attribute.
• Sections can be renamed, reordered, and stats moved between them.
• Per-character profiles with import/export strings.
• Automatic profile switching by specialization or content type.
• LibDataBroker feed and a minimap button (defers to LibDBIcon when present).
• Right-click context menu on the panel and minimap button.
• Live preview docked beside the options window while configuring.
• Gear audit: per-slot item level, missing enchants, empty sockets.
• Chat announce, user-initiated and throttled, which omits any field the game protects and explains why.
• Session peak movement speed, with a $peak token.
• Visibility rules for combat, death, vehicles, pet battles and instances, plus mouseover fading.
• Slash commands: /sp with toggle, lock, reset, preset, profile, gear, announce, peak and minimap.

Migration

Settings from 1.x are migrated automatically into a profile named Default on first load. The old global entry points (CreateStatPanel, ToggleStatPanel, SPAddon_ApplyVisibility) still work.

[1.0.0] - 2024-10-22

Initial release: secondary stats in spec priority order, armor damage reduction, movement speed and framerate, with a small options panel.
