TBC Guild Bank Logger

TBCGuildBankLogger — Changelog from v1.0.6 → v1.1.1

What's new

Cross-officer sync. Multiple officers running the addon now keep each other's bank logs in sync automatically. No dedicated bank-alt needed.

Sync

• All sync traffic uses WoW's hidden addon channels — nothing ever appears in guild chat, officer chat, or whispers. Other players see nothing.
• Delta broadcast. After every scan, any new entries discovered get broadcast to other addon users in the guild. They append them to their local DB automatically.
• Bulk catch-up. /gbl sync requests a full copy of another user's DB. Useful for first install or after a long absence.
• Version ping. A low-frequency check that warns you if a newer version exists somewhere in the guild.
• Per-sender cooldown (60s) on incoming bulk requests so the addon can't be spammed.
• Sync stats tracked: deltas sent, deltas received, entries merged, last sync from/at. View with /gbl sync status.

Cross-client deduplication

• Entries are now hashed on resolved absolute UTC hour-bucket (YYYY-MM-DD HH) instead of relative time offsets. Two officers seeing the same transaction at different times now hash identically and dedup correctly.
• Each entry stores its resolved bucketKey for stable display across clients.
• Each entry stores a sourceCharacter field — who originally scanned it.

Automatic DB migration

• On first load with v1.1, existing v1.0.x DBs are walked and rekeyed under the new hash format.
• Prints a one-time confirmation: "Migrated N item and M money entries to v1.1 format. Your old logs are preserved."
• TBCGBL_DB.dbVersion is stamped to prevent migration from running twice.
• Fresh installs are unaffected.

New slash commands

• /gbl sync on|off — toggle sync (default ON)
• /gbl sync — request full sync from anyone online with the addon
• /gbl sync status — show sync stats
• /gbl status now also reports sync module readiness

Internals

• Bundles libraries for chunked, throttled message delivery (LibStub, CallbackHandler-1.0, AceAddon-3.0, AceEvent-3.0, AceComm-3.0 + ChatThrottleLib).
• New Sync.lua module, entirely wrapped in pcall — sync failures can't take down the rest of the addon.
• New defaults in TBCGBL_DB.settings: syncEnabled = true, showSyncMessages = true.
• Version ping fires once per session instead of on every zone change.

Display changes

• Synced entries display their timestamp in UTC hour-bucket form (YYYY-MM-DD HH:00).
• Sort order uses the bucket key when available, falling back to the legacy numeric absolute time for pre-v1.1 entries.
