Yipper Changelog

2.3.2

• Bump version to match game version

2.3.1

• Fixed a Lua error on every guild and officer message while execution is tainted (raid combat). The Discord payload that comes with those events is flagged secret field by field, and the check for it compared a secret boolean, which throws. The flag is now only read when it is actually readable; when it is not, the message falls through to the GUID checks, which already drop Discord-relayed chat.

2.3.0

• Rolls from other players are now attributed locally, without needing them to run Yipper. A roll only tells us a character name, so it is resolved to a GUID from the group or raid roster first - which also gives us the realm of a cross-realm member - then from the guild roster, so a guildmate resolves without sharing a group, and finally from a cache of everyone seen speaking, hovered or targeted in the last 15 minutes.
• Character names are only unique per realm. When a name resolves to more than one character the roll is not shown at all, rather than being attributed to the wrong person.
• Removed the addon-to-addon communication entirely. It existed only to share roll results, which are now resolved locally, so Yipper no longer sends or listens for addon messages and no longer needs anyone else to run it.

2.2.2

• Fixed rolls not being shared across a raid. The broadcast channel was picked with GetNumSubgroupMembers(), which only counts your own subgroup and never exceeds 4, so the raid branch was never taken and every roll was sent to PARTY - reaching only your own group of five. The channel is now derived from the group you are actually in (instance, raid or party).
• Roll broadcasts are no longer sent when you are not in a group, where the client discarded them anyway.
• Hardened parsing of received roll broadcasts: the payload separator is accepted as either "||" or "|", and the sender of the addon message is used as a fallback when neither survives, instead of dropping the roll. The format sent over the wire is unchanged, so 2.2.2 and 2.2.1 clients still understand each other.
• Added a /yip debug toggle that logs the roll send and receive path to the chat frame. Off by default.
• Note: as with every version change, stored messages are cleared on first login after updating.

2.2.1

• Ignore Discord-relayed guild/officer messages (Patch 12.1 integration). These arrive without a player GUID and cannot be tracked, which previously caused a "table index is nil" error.
• Harden message storage against messages without a GUID.
