YippYapp Helper — Changelog

v1.3.0 — Consumables Guide, Loot Browser & More (2026-03-26)

Consumables Guide (new)

• Full enchant, gem, and consumable recommendations for every class and spec (all 40 specs)
• Three-tab layout: Enchants, Gems, Consumables — each with item icons, quality-colored links, and tooltips on hover
• Class dropdown and spec buttons to browse any spec's recommendations (defaults to your class/spec)
• Guide text below each tab with detailed reasoning (flask choices, potion tradeoffs, weapon buff notes, food comparisons)
• Alternative items shown inline with "or" label (e.g. flask alternatives)
• Accessible from dashboard, app nav bar, and integrated as full page in the app shell

Loot Browser (new)

• Browse all dungeon, raid, and world boss loot by slot
• EJ-based scanning with spec and secondary stat filtering (Crit/Haste/Mastery/Vers)
• Two-row slot tabs: armor on top, accessories + weapons on bottom
• Difficulty columns (Normal/Heroic/Mythic for dungeons, LFR/N/H/M for raids)
• Item icons with difficulty-colored borders, tooltips on hover, shift-click to link
• Trinket tier badges (S/A/B) cross-referenced from SimC rankings
• Spec dropdown to browse loot for any spec
• Remembers selected slot across open/close (defaults to Head)
• Accessible from dashboard, app nav bar, and /yh loot

Raid Tools

• Group display reordered: top row shows groups 1, 3, 5 and bottom row shows 2, 4, 6 for split visualization
• DK Grip distribution: suggests splitting Death Knights across raid splits for Mass Grip coverage
• Healer stacking fix: only suggests swaps when source split has 3+ healers (5-healer raids handled correctly)

Profile System Simplified

• 6 profiles → 3: Normal (Casual/Delves/M+ up to 8), Heroic (Heroic Raid/M+ 10), Mythic (Mythic Raid/M+ 10+)
• Old profile IDs auto-migrate (heroic_raider → heroic, mplus_high → heroic, etc.)
• Each profile defines farmable track for smarter recommendations

Recommendation Engine Improvements

• SAVE_FOR_DROP: "Hero drops from M+6-10 / Heroic raid — save Champion crests, wait for replacement"
  • Only triggers for low-rank items (1-3/6) with precious crests
  • Shows source hint (M+ key range + raid tier)
• CREST_CAPPED: "Need 20 Champion — capped until next reset"
  • Detects both weekly caps (Hero/Myth) and season cumulative caps
• Myth 2/6+ always recommended for upgrade (top track, nothing replaces it)
• Myth 1/6 still suggests using Hero crests for free promotion via overlap

Trinket Rankings Refreshed

• Fresh SimC data: 60,000 iterations, 30 specs (ST + AOE), latest nightly profiles
• New spec: Rogue Assassination
• Item level shown on all trinket rows (Myth 6/6 = 289)
• Tooltips now show Myth 6/6 stats; shift-click links the Myth 6/6 version
• Removed legacy trinkets not in current loot pool

UI Polish

• Unified underline tab style across all panels (Raid Tools, Consumables, Loot Browser)
• Dashboard app nav buttons in a 3x2 grid instead of single row
• Magisters' Terrace trinket sources corrected

v1.2.0 — Raid Tools, Data Overhaul & Polish (2026-03-25)

Recommendation System Reworked

• Crests can only be spent on their own track — addon no longer suggests "hold crests for higher track gear"
• Items now show explicit upgrade priority: "Upgrade 1st of 5 Champion", "Upgrade 2nd", etc.
• Priority based on slot value (weapons/chest/legs first, neck/wrist last)
• Crest scarcity calculated from total season budget (current + still earnable), not just inventory
• Overlap zone fix: "Use cheaper crests" only shows at rank 1 (not rank 2 where free ranks are already used)
• Profile changes instantly refresh all recommendations on the dashboard

Raid Tools — Performance Tab (new)

• DPS rankings from Blizzard's built-in Damage Meter API (C_DamageMeter)
• Average DPS per player per split (A vs B) with imbalance detection
• Avoidable damage taken leaderboard
• Death count tracker
• Interrupt count tracker
• Uses current combat segment, falls back to overall

Raid Tools — Overview Improvements

• Two-column layout: groups + swaps on left, composition + consumables on right
• Consumable checker: flask, food, augment rune status per player (spell ID based, taint-safe)
• Missing players listed by name next to each consumable type
• Raid buff list: one per line, cleaner layout
• Composition shown in large font with role breakdown
• Swap suggestions now show player names in bordered badges with class-colored borders
• "Swap All" button executes all suggested swaps via SwapRaidSubgroup API (raid leader/assistant only, out of combat)
• Debuff class distribution: suggests spreading Monk (Mystic Touch) and DH (Chaos Brand) across splits
• PI targets need same split (not same group) — corrected from 40yd range
• Player count balance: suggests moving healer if it fixes both size and healer imbalance
• Auto-refreshes on GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE (instant update when players are moved)
• Group display always reserves 2 rows (no layout shift with fewer than 4 groups)

Season 1 Data Updated

• Gear tracks: Champion 249/252/255, Hero 262/265/268, Myth 275/278/281 (ranks 2-4 corrected)
• Champion free ranks from Veteran: 2 (was 1)
• M+ crests: Heroic=Adventurer, M0=Champion, +2-3=Champion, +4-8=Hero, +9-12=Myth

• "What's New" window shows on version update with profile selector built in

Trinket Panel — ChonkyCharacterSheet Support

• Trinket tab and panel now anchor to the actual visual right edge of the character frame
• Detects ChonkyCharacterSheet and anchors to CharacterFrameBg instead of CharacterFrame
• Panel inherits CharacterFrame scale when Chonky is active
• OnSizeChanged hook re-anchors on dynamic resize
• "All Specs" button collapses sidebar then opens app (no more panel stealing)

Minimap Button — LibDBIcon

• Replaced custom minimap button with LibDBIcon-1.0
• Works correctly with ElvUI square minimap, SexyMap, and other minimap addons
• Draggable, position saved automatically by the library
• Embedded libraries: LibStub, CallbackHandler-1.0, LibDataBroker-1.1, LibDBIcon-1.0

Visual Polish (inspired by Plumber addon)

• DisableSharpening on all frame borders for smooth edges at any UI scale
• ADD blend mode highlights on hover (subtle glow instead of flat color change)
• Text shadows on all headers and titles for depth
• Consistent color hierarchy: primary (0.92), secondary (0.55), tertiary (0.35)
• All frames adapt to screen resolution (dynamic sizing via GetAppFrameSize)
• All popups clamped to screen (trinket detail, PI picker, profile dropdown)
• Frame z-ordering fixed: sub-panels normalized when inside app, no addon interleaving

• Tier tracker rows pooled (memory leak fix)
• Tainted aura name strings handled via spell ID lookup + pcall fallback
• Dashboard.lua removed call to nonexistent RefreshRaidTrinketDisplay
• quickBtnText dead references removed
