Release Notes

[1.0.0-beta.1] - 2026-09-20

Added

  • Interface support for World of Warcraft: Forever (1.60.1, interface 16001), alongside current retail (12.1.0, interface 120100).
  • SuperTracking: a marker, distance, and ETA readout on the compass banner for whatever you're currently super-tracking - quests, user-placed waypoints, area POIs, taxi nodes, and your own corpse.
  • Configurable compass detail levels (0-3: none, cardinals, intercardinals, or a full ring of pips).
  • A draggable, lockable compass banner (/wayfinder unlock/lock/resetposition), with its position remembered.
  • A native in-game Settings panel (Escape > Options > AddOns, or /wayfinder settings), including an About page with the addon's icon and info.
  • A minimap Addon Compartment entry for quick access, plus a proper addon icon shown there and in the addon list.

Fixed

  • SuperTracking marker never appearing (was using the wrong texture API for its atlas-based icon).
  • SuperTracking failing to resolve a destination for older, pre-modern-navigation-system quest content.
  • Updated the embedded HereBeDragons-2.0 library, whose vendored copy only indexed map IDs up to 2500 and would silently fail to resolve coordinates (breaking SuperTracking) in any zone added since then.
  • A crash in the ETA readout when reading player speed while in combat, under WoW 12.0+'s "secret values" addon-disarmament system.

Changed

  • General code cleanup for idiomatic Lua/WoW addon conventions.

Known issues

  • WoW: Forever beta does not reliably read SavedVariables back on reload/restart (a confirmed upstream client bug, not a Wayfinder issue - see DEVNOTES.md). Compass detail, tracking toggles, and banner position may silently revert to their defaults until Blizzard fixes this.

  • Initial (alpha) release of Wayfinder.
  • The main compass banner
