Release Notes

[1.0.1] - 2026-09-26

Fixed

• Changing Nameplate Style (Options > Nameplates) could throw a Lua error every frame while the preview cast bar animated. Wayfinder's options page was built from Blizzard's shared Settings controls, and that left Wayfinder's "taint" on control frames Blizzard later reused for its own settings. Thanks to u/xJayoftheDeadx on Reddit for the detailed report and suggested fix.

Changed

• The options page is now a single page built from Wayfinder's own controls. The About info (icon, version, author) is at the top, and there's no separate About page anymore.
• Compass detail is now a set of radio buttons instead of a dropdown.

[1.0.0] - 2026-09-24

Changed

• Promoted from beta to a stable release. No functional changes since 1.0.0-beta.2 - the only blocker was the WoW: Forever beta's SavedVariables-not-read-back bug (see 1.0.0-beta.1's "Known issues" below). Blizzard has since fixed it upstream (Forever beta build 70009), it's been verified in-game against Wayfinder's own settings, and 1.0.0-beta.2 confirmed the automated release pipeline (CurseForge, Wago, and WoWInterface) publishes cleanly.

[1.0.0-beta.2] - 2026-09-24

Changed

• Docs/comment cleanup: removed the SavedVariables-bug notes from code comments, Wayfinder.toc, and DEVNOTES.md now that it's fixed upstream (Forever beta build 70009) - see 1.0.0-beta.1's "Known issues" below for the original context.
• Packaging: verifies the WoWInterface publish target added after 1.0.0-beta.1 (X-WoWI-ID) publishes correctly via the automated packager, ahead of the next stable release.

[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.
