TastyfishExtravaganza Changelog

v1.1

Stats & Tracking

• Session / All-Time tabs — clickable tab toggle replaces the old fixed two-column layout. Click SESSION or ALL-TIME to switch views full-width.
• Session now resets on login — session stats (casts, catches, time, fish/hr) properly clear on each login. /reload preserves them.
• Fish / hr fixed — now counts actual successful catches, not individual loot items. One catch = one fish, regardless of how many items drop.
• Unique Fish (renamed from Species) — filtered to real fish only. Uses WoW item class detection (Trade Goods > Meat & Fish, Quest items) to exclude junk, mats, and lockboxes.
• All-Time tracking — added lifetime Catches and Casts counters. Event Wins now properly increments when you hit 40 Tastyfish.
• Rares — confirmed filtered to rare prize fish only (Keefer's, Brownell's, Dezian Queenfish).

Bobber Meter

• Average marker always visible — the rolling average line now shows in all phases (idle, casting, waiting, bite), not just while the bobber is in the water.
• Average marker fixed — resolved a bug where LOOT_READY zeroed the channel start time before LOOT_OPENED could record it. The average never had data.
• Event ordering fix — CHANNEL_STOP now delays the idle/missed transition by 0.6s, giving LOOT_READY time to fire first on clients where event order varies.
• Last / Best display fixed — was reading from a stale location after the session persistence change.

Themes

• Lure bar now themes — switching themes updates the lure bar colors. Previously it stayed green regardless.
• Silver (replaced Stone) — polished metallic gray with a subtle cool blue tint.
• Ember reworked — warmer orange tone throughout to match its accent color. Clearly distinct from Oak.
• Oak reworked — warm tan tone throughout to match its golden-tan accent color.
• Theme buttons — now show color names (Forest, Ocean, Ember, Oak, Midnight, Silver) rendered in each theme's own colors.

Options Window

• Double-click bug fixed — Options button now opens on the first click after /reload.
• Window scaling — sliders replaced with +/- buttons. Added separate scaling for Options window.
• WoW Tips section — added quick-reference tips for recommended WoW settings.
• Slightly wider — text like "Cast / Loot Bobber" no longer wraps.
• Author signature — "..fish on, Archong" in the bottom-right corner.

UI Cleanup

• Emoji rendering fixes — removed all multi-byte emoji that rendered as small boxes on many WoW clients. Section headers, status text, and chat messages now use WoW-safe characters only.
• Arrow characters — replaced all right-arrows with > for compatibility.
• Expanded window — prize names (Arcanite Fishing Pole, Hook of the Master Angler) display cleanly with word wrap. Rare Prize Fish section has more breathing room.
• Skill effective value — lighter font color, matches the Skill label.
• Fishing icon — switched to Trade_Fishing (the profession icon) for clearer visibility in the title bar, minimap, and WoW Options panel.

Settings Panel (WoW Options > AddOns)

• Alerts / Automation sections — checkboxes organized into two labeled groups, sorted alphabetically.
• Recast label shortened to "Double Click to Recast while Fishing".
• Fishing pole icon — matches the main window icon.
• Slash commands — added /tfesettings and /tfeoptions to open the panel directly.

Other

• Lure bar — removed preferred lure / right-click features. Left-click apply only.
• Gear Up — fixed UseContainerItem nil error on modern WoW clients.
• Bindings.xml — fixed "Unrecognized XML" error. Matches Better Fishing's proven pattern (auto-discovered, not in TOC).
• Version — updated to v1.1 in TOC, Core, main window, and minimap tooltip.
