ZugBeastSniffer

# ZugBeastSniffer 0.17.0

Changes since 0.14.6:

- Refreshed the Field guide and observations interface with grouped facts, clearer source labels and shared creature details. Five pages remain cached, with frequent updates limited to the visible page.
- Added Research gaps and saved Hunt lists. Track missing tame, pet-speed, starting-ability and location evidence, then save goals, priorities and private notes.
- Added My level to the Field guide and shortened Rares only to Rares.
- Compress older observation history without losing data. Details unpack on demand through a bounded cache; idle compression pauses while moving, in combat or browsing. Larger ordinary-user retention limits are included.
- Expanded the source-labelled Field guide to 902 entries, 839 NPC IDs and 121 rares. Added build-70938 tameability flags for 174 existing entries, preserving conflicting tame evidence.
- Added RareScanner locations for Barnabus, Zaricotl, Greater Firebird and Old Rusthowl. Sister Rathtalon and Snarlflare have labelled non-beast reference entries with locations and reported respawn estimates of 20–38 and 21–46 minutes.
- Added best-known summaries and Compare tame, preserving wild and early pet readings alongside later scans. Starting abilities keep watched-tame provenance; recorded ability ranks appear in tooltips, such as Web 2.
- Added Ctrl + mouse wheel minimap icon sizing in 0.1 steps, with a default-on Settings toggle and remembered size.
- Added Recent detections, source-labelled death/identity history, compact rare notices, map/area tracking and user-clicked Target / Mark actions. Session-only /zbs test previews are excluded from research exports.
- Fixed browser, history, inspector and export issues found during review. Hidden views stay idle, and wider movement/data reordering remains coalesced to five-second intervals.

Locations are search areas or external references. Respawn ranges are reported estimates, without a countdown or current-presence guarantee. Reference data stays separate from personal observations. No other addon is required; Services optionally uses QuestieDB. Third-party terms and attribution are included in LICENSE.

Close WoW before installing this update so the new history modules load. Older addon versions cannot read compressed history. Keep backups and expanded exports if you need external access. Offline tests passed on Lua 5.1 and 5.5; broader native UI, timing and gameplay checks remain separate.
