VeevHUD Changelog

[1.0.40] - 2026-02-05

Added

• Summon Stack Count — Spells that summon multiple pets (like Force of Nature) now display the number of living pets as a stack count. When treants die, the count decrements so you know how many remain active.

[1.0.39] - 2026-02-05

Added

• Keybind Text on Icons — Shows keyboard shortcuts on cooldown icons, similar to default action bars. Scans action bars (including macros) to find matching spells and displays abbreviated keybinds (e.g., Shift+X → SX). Supports Bartender4, ElvUI, Dominos, and default UI. Toggle in options.

Fixed

• Spell Ordering — Fixed a bug where disabling some abilities in a row could cause the remaining abilities to display in the wrong order

[1.0.38] - 2026-02-05

Improved

• Mana Tick Timer ("Next Full Tick") — Major accuracy improvements for the 5-Second Rule countdown:
  • Now correctly shows 5-7 second countdown to first full tick after casting
  • Progress bar only jumps forward on recalibration, never backward
  • Stays pinned at 100% until the full tick actually arrives (no premature resets)
  • Each observed partial tick automatically refines the prediction

[1.0.37] - 2026-02-05

LibSpellDB Updates

• Faerie Fire (Feral) — Now tracked separately from caster Faerie Fire (usable in cat/bear form)
• Mangle (Bear) — Now shows cooldown instead of debuff timer (you spam on 6s CD, debuff lasts 12s)

[1.0.36] - 2026-02-05

Added

• Show at Full Energy option — Energy ticker continues running at full energy, useful for timing openers (default ON)
• Druid Powershifting Support — Energy tick timer correctly resets when entering Cat Form, matching TBC mechanics

Changed

• Ready glow threshold — Reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds before abilities become usable (felt too early)
• Ready glow for Resource Timer — Now triggers when resource prediction shows <0.5s until affordable
• Energy ticker only shows after observing a real tick (prevents inaccurate display after reload/zone change)

Fixed

• Duplicate racial icons (Blood Fury, Arcane Torrent) no longer appear when multiple spell variants exist

LibSpellDB Updates

• New TEMPORARY_SUMMON tag for short-duration pet abilities
• Added missing Hunter abilities (Multi-Shot, Volley, Arcane Shot, etc.)
• Fixed Maul missing ROTATIONAL tag

[1.0.35] - 2026-02-04

Fixed

• Spell reordering — Fixed drag-and-drop to allow dropping spells at the end of a category
• Ready glow for lockout spells — Ready glow now correctly triggers when a target lockout debuff (like Forbearance) is about to expire, even though the spell appears unusable during the lockout

[1.0.34] - 2026-02-04

Added

• Cooldown Finish Sparkle — WoW's native sparkle/bling effect now plays when cooldowns finish (per-row configurable, defaults to all rows). Note: Also triggers on GCD finish, matching default action bar behavior.
• Smooth Dim Transition — Icons now smoothly fade to 30% alpha when going on cooldown, synced with cast feedback animation timing. Can be disabled in Animations settings.

Changed

• More row options — All row-based dropdowns now offer 6 choices: None, Primary Only, Primary + Secondary, All Rows, Secondary + Utility, Utility Only. This allows more flexible configurations like usable glow on primary row but sparkle on secondary/utility rows.

Fixed

• Prediction spiral cleanup — Resource prediction spirals now clear immediately when you gain enough resources (e.g., zoning and gaining full mana)
• Aura spiral cleanup — Buff/debuff spirals now clear immediately when switching targets (instead of lingering from the previous target)
• Dim alpha on reload — Icons on cooldown now correctly show 30% alpha immediately after /reload (previously showed full alpha until state changed)

[1.0.33] - 2026-02-04

Changed

• Migration popup improvements — Now shows for all users affected by UI scale auto-compensation (not just those who manually scaled down). Message explains whether your HUD is now smaller or if manual settings are stacking.
• Migration popups are now skipped for brand new users (they get the correct behavior from the start)

[1.0.32] - 2026-02-04

Added

• UI Scale Auto-Compensation — VeevHUD now automatically adjusts for your in-game UI Scale setting, so the HUD looks the same size whether you use 65% or 100% UI scale. No more oversized icons at default settings!
• Migration popup — If you previously adjusted Global Scale to compensate for a high UI scale, a one-time popup will offer to reset it to 100%
• Reusable MigrationManager — Framework for future migration notices when addon behavior changes

Changed

• Popups now appear 30% from the top of the screen (instead of center) to avoid covering the HUD
• Improved popup title centering

LibSpellDB Updates

• New auraTarget system for explicit buff tracking targets (self, ally, pet, none)
• Added GetAuraTarget() API function

[1.0.31] - 2026-02-03

Fixed

• Aura cache invalidation — Fixed an issue where auras could fail to update when the same player was referenced by multiple unit tokens (e.g., "party1" and "targettarget"). Cache is now keyed by GUID for correct invalidation.

LibSpellDB Updates

• IsSelfOnly() now correctly identifies HAS_BUFF and CC_IMMUNITY tagged spells as abilities that can target others

[1.0.30] - 2026-02-01

Changed

• Range indicator during cooldown — The out-of-range indicator now shows while abilities are on cooldown, as long as you have the resources to use them. This gives you a heads-up on positioning while waiting for the cooldown to finish.
• Cleaner visual priority — When you lack resources for an ability, the grey/resource indicators take priority and the range indicator is hidden. This prevents overlapping visual states and keeps feedback clear.

Fixed

• Range indicator after cooldown ends — Fixed an issue where the range indicator wouldn't appear immediately when a spell like Bloodthirst came off cooldown (was incorrectly suppressed by the spell's healing buff)

[1.0.29] - 2026-02-01

Fixed

• Config visibility — HUD now stays visible at full opacity when the options panel is open, so visibility settings (Out of Combat Opacity, Hide on Flight Path) don't make it hard to configure

[1.0.28] - 2026-01-31

Added

• Range Indicator — Out-of-range spells now display a desaturated icon with a red range indicator at the bottom
• Smooth fade animations for range indicator transitions

Changed

• Improved buff tracking — Rotational spells now track auras on your current target, while cooldown-only spells always show in the HUD
• Code cleanup: removed unused RangeChecker API methods

LibSpellDB Updates

• New IsSelfOnly() and IsRotational() API functions for smarter buff tracking behavior

[1.0.27] - 2026-01-31

Fixed

• AoE CC tracking — When a CC effect breaks on one target (e.g., Psychic Scream), icons now correctly continue tracking remaining affected targets
• Spell Configuration panel — Utility row positioning now updates correctly when spells are reordered
• Various bug fixes and code cleanup

Changed

• Major refactor — Extracted modules and removed ~1700 lines of unused/dead code
• All spell IDs now normalize to canonical (base) ID for consistent tracking across ranks

LibSpellDB Updates

• Added Priest Chastise as soft CC for all specs
• Fixed duplicate spell ID warnings and nil access bugs

[1.0.26] - 2026-01-31

Changed

• New Layout System — Completely refactored how HUD elements (combo points, resource bar, health bar, proc tracker) are positioned
  • Elements now register with a central layout manager instead of calculating positions based on other modules
  • Automatic repositioning when any element's visibility changes (e.g., Druid entering/leaving Cat Form)
  • Cleaner architecture: modules no longer need to know about each other's positions
  • New /vh layout debug command to inspect element positions
• Icon Row Gap setting — New slider in Appearance section to control the gap between the icon row and the first bar above it

Fixed

• Discord release notifications now use the description field (supports up to 3500 characters) instead of embed fields (which had a 1024 character limit)

[1.0.25] - 2026-01-31

Added

• Font customization — New global font setting lets you change the font used for all HUD text (cooldowns, stack counts, health/resource values, proc durations)
  • Integrates with LibSharedMedia-3.0 to discover fonts from other addons
  • Scrollable dropdown with font preview (each font rendered in its own typeface)
  • Fonts update instantly without requiring a UI reload
  • Default: Expressway, Bold (bundled with VeevHUD)
• New FontManager module (Core/FontManager.lua) — Centralizes font registration and utilities

Changed

• Text display options — Replaced "Show Text" checkbox with a "Text Display" dropdown for Health Bar and Resource Bar
  • Options: Current Value, Percent, Both, None
  • More intuitive than separate toggle + format settings
• Font setting placed in Appearance section (after Vertical Offset)

Removed

• Cleaned up unused font constants (FONTS.DEFAULT, FONTS.BOLD)

[1.0.24] - 2026-01-30

Fixed

• Blood Fury GCD tracking bug — Orc racial spell power variants (33697, 33702) no longer briefly show as "ready" when triggering a GCD while on cooldown
• Spell ID discovery — Now correctly tracks the actual spell ID from your spellbook instead of the library spell ID (fixes issues where class-specific spell variants weren't tracked properly)

Changed

• Options UI consistency improvements and better user-friendliness

LibSpellDB Updates

• Added all Orc Blood Fury variants (20572, 33697, 33702) for proper class-specific tracking
• Added Fire Nova Totem (all ranks)

[1.0.23] - 2026-01-30

LibSpellDB Updates

• Hemorrhage now shows cooldown display instead of debuff tracking (more useful for rotation)

[1.0.22] - 2026-01-30

Added

• Resource Timer — A new resource cost display mode that extends the cooldown spiral to show when you'll actually be able to cast, factoring in both cooldown AND resource regeneration
  • Icons show max(cooldown_remaining, time_until_affordable) as a unified countdown
  • Energy: Highly accurate tick-aware predictions (2-second ticks), accounts for Adrenaline Rush
  • Mana: Tick-aware with 5-second rule tracking, measures in-combat vs passive regen rates separately
  • Rage: Falls back to vertical fill (rage generation is unpredictable)
  • If prediction is wrong (resources spent mid-countdown), automatically falls back to deterministic vertical fill
  • Configure via "Resource Cost Style" → "Resource Timer" in settings
• Mana Tick Indicator for mana classes (Mage, Priest, Warlock, Paladin, Druid, Shaman, Hunter)
  • Shows a spark overlay on the resource bar indicating progress toward the next mana tick
  • "Outside 5SR" mode: Shows the 2-second tick cycle only when regenerating at full spirit rate
  • "Next Full Tick" mode (recommended): Intelligently combines 5-second rule AND tick timing — calculates exactly when your first full-rate tick will arrive and shows a seamless countdown. Cast right after it completes to maximize mana efficiency.
• New core modules: TickTracker.lua, FiveSecondRule.lua, ResourcePrediction.lua

Changed

• Default energy ticker style changed to "Spark" (overlay on resource bar)
• Default resource cost display changed to "Resource Timer" (prediction mode)
• Increased debug log buffer from 200 to 500 entries

[1.0.18] - 2026-01-29

LibSpellDB Updates

• Vampiric Embrace now correctly tagged as debuff (was incorrectly tagged as buff)

[1.0.16] - 2026-01-28

Changed

• Dynamic Sort now deprioritizes conditional spells (Execute, Victory Rush, etc.) when they're not usable
• Unusable conditional spells sort after spells with cooldowns up to 60s, rather than always appearing first

Fixed

[1.0.14] - 2026-01-28

Added
