All notable changes to StatPanel are recorded here.

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

[2.1.0] - 2026-07-22

Added

• Paste a stat weight string to set your priority. Options → Priority has a new box that takes a Pawn string -- from Raidbots, a sim, or a stat site -- or a plain order like Mastery > Haste > Crit > Versatility, and sets the priority for your current specialization. It reads the four secondaries, orders them by weight (or takes the order as written) and fills in any it doesn't see, so the result is always a complete order. The built-in table is a general baseline that drifts with the meta and can't know your gear; this is the authoritative-for-your-character answer, for any spec, from whatever source you trust. It writes the same per-spec override the dropdowns do, so "Use the built-in order" still resets it.

[2.0.3] - 2026-07-22

Fixed

• The gear audit reported missing enchants on every slot, even on a fully enchanted character. parseLink read item links with a gmatch pattern that, in WoW's Lua 5.1, emits an empty capture after every colon -- so the fields came out shifted and the enchant always read back as 0. Every enchantable slot showed "no enchant", and /sp announce with gear broadcast a phantom "8 missing enchants" to chat. Links are split with strsplit now, which keeps the fields aligned.
• A render error could freeze the panel until /reload. Panel:Rebuild set a re-entrancy flag and cleared it only at the very end, with nothing protecting the span between. Any error in that stretch left the flag stuck, turning every future rebuild into a permanent no-op that not even switching to a good profile could clear. The body runs under pcall now, so the flag always resets and the cause is reported instead of the panel silently dying.
• A pasted import string with a wrong-typed value could brick the panel for good. Imported and hand-edited profiles are type-checked against the schema on load: a value of the wrong type -- a string where a width belongs, a color channel that isn't a number -- is coerced back to its default before it can reach a Set* call and crash the render. With the freeze fix above, a bad string can no longer lock the panel across logins.
• "Import into profile" shared its text box with "New profile name." Typing an import target overwrote the create name, so the next Create made a wrongly-named profile. They are independent fields now.
• The $yards value token could error every frame when movement speed is delivered as a protected value, because it was formatted directly rather than through the secret-safe path. It degrades to 0 like the other guarded reads.

Changed

• Presets apply as complete looks. A preset is a sparse table, so switching between two left behind any key the new one didn't mention -- Neon's spark and pink crit bar survived a switch to Modern Bars. Applying a preset now resets the look to defaults first, preserving only your position, visibility rules and account preferences. Per-stat color overrides are deep-copied too, so two profiles on the same preset no longer share (and mutate) one color table.
• Spec-change and vehicle events are filtered to the player. They carry a unit and fire for every group member, so an ally respeccing or taking a vehicle was forcing a full relayout on your panel.
• The rank and footer format strings -- free-text, and formatted every frame -- are guarded: a stray specifier falls back to the default instead of erroring continuously.
• Import strings are capped in size, and the database version stamp is now read to gate migration instead of being written and never looked at.

[2.0.2] - 2026-07-22

Fixed

• Announcing your speed never announced it. The Include peak speed option called SP.GetPeakSpeed, which was never defined anywhere — the call short-circuited to nil and the field was dropped from the message with no error and nothing to indicate the setting did nothing. Speed is one of the few figures patch 12.0 does not protect, so it should always have been getting through. The accessor now exists.
• The addon memory readout was the most expensive thing on the panel. UpdateAddOnMemoryUsage() re-tallies memory for every loaded addon, not just this one, and it was being called from the footer build — which runs on the update loop, ten times a second at the default interval. It is now sampled every five seconds and reused in between. This only affected the footer's Addon memory use option, which is off by default.

Added

• Delve and Mythic+ dungeon rules for automatic profile switching. Neither is its own instance type — a delve reports as a scenario and a key reports as an ordinary party dungeon — so both were previously indistinguishable from their untimed counterparts and fell into the generic rule. They are now told apart by difficulty and can carry their own profile. A specific rule falls back to its general one, so an existing Dungeon rule still applies inside a key unless you deliberately set a separate Mythic+ dungeon rule.

Changed

• The LibDataBroker feed refreshed its text from an OnUpdate handler that ran every frame purely to discover it had nothing to do. It uses C_Timer now, and can no longer be started twice.
• resolvePrimary picks the largest of Strength / Agility / Intellect, which is a comparison — forbidden on a secret value, and the one read in the file that was not guarded against becoming one. Primary stats are readable today; if a patch ever protects them the row now displays under its own label instead of erroring and taking the panel down with it.

[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.
