v1.4.9-beta1 (2026-05-12)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• beta: split Options/Panel.lua — factories → Widgets.lua, tabs → Pages/
  Panel.lua is now strictly the section system + tab strip + search +
  side tabs + build() (1127 lines, was 2967). The widget factories
  (addTooltip, markAsNew, makeSlider, makeCheck, makeDropdown, makeMedia-
  Dropdown, makeColorPicker, makeSpellList, makeNameList, ANCHOR9 +
  their helpers POPUP_, ROW_H, getSpellInfo) live in Options/Widgets.lua
  and register themselves onto TW._OptHelpers. Each tab builder lives
  under Options/Pages/<Tab>.lua. Page modules read TW._OptHelpers at file
  top, TW._OptPanel lazily for the runtime panel reference.
  Load order in both .toc files: Panel.lua → Widgets.lua → Pages/.lua,
  so each consumer sees a fully-populated TW._OptHelpers at file load.
  User-facing behaviour unchanged (verified by navigating every tab in
  game). Bumped to 1.4.9-beta1 — refactor ships alongside the death
  overlay + global aura ticker + /tankw bugreport from the previous
  beta commit.
• beta: death overlay + global aura ticker + /tankw bugreport
  • Death indicator: skull overlay + 45% alpha when UnitIsDeadOrGhost
    returns true; PLAYER_DEAD / PLAYER_UNGHOST / PLAYER_ALIVE / UNIT_FLAGS
    wired so the visual flips immediately.
  • Single global 10 Hz ticker replaces per-icon OnUpdate handlers (up
    to 40 of them) for the aura countdown text. Buttons opt in by
    setting b._exp on bind; cleared on rebind/hide.
  • /tankw bugreport pops a read-only EditBox prefilled with version,
    client, build, screen size, active profile + modes, DB counts,
    visible tanks, and last Lua error (when BugGrabber is loaded).
    ESC-closable, draggable. v1.4.9 entry added to the in-app changelog;
    toc bump deferred until release.
