    gLib2
    Version: 2.442
    by: Goldpaw [More]
    What is this?

    gLib2 is a function library. It doesn't do anything by itself, but provides a set of very useful functions for the addon environment. It includes no textures or graphics, so the memory usage is minimal, and it has no running processes or re-occurring event calls, so the CPU time used is 0 when idle.

    gLib is specifically designed to be a part of the full UI package gUI, and provides functionality specifically used by most of the addons included in it, but has been written to allow any other addon to use it's functionality as well.


    Where is the documentation?

    It's a work in progress. More info soon.
    2.442
    - Further expanded the tag database

    2.441
    - Added "Lib: " to the .toc visible name

    2.44
    - Added new tags for short and smart display of time and values

    2.43
    - Fixed a bug with the :Slash() function causing several addons to register slash commands under the same names

    2.42
    - Slightly modified how the task scheduler works

    2.41
    - Removed str:split(), this function already exists in WoW! /doh....

    2.4
    - New functionality for addons, as gLib now handles events and scheduled tasks
    - New addon creation functions:
    addon = gLib:newAddon( name ) -- creates a new addon. This is NOT a frame, but a table!
    addon:OnInit() -- called upon ADDON_LOADED
    addon:OnEnable() -- called upon PLAYER_LOGIN
    addon:OnDisable() -- called upon PLAYER_LOGOUT
    addon:RegisterEvent( event[, func] ) -- register an event for this addon with gLib's event handler
    addon:RegisterEvents() -- register multiple events
    addon:Schedule( task[, interval] ) -- schedules the function <task> to be called every 0.1 <= interval <= 999 or 0.5 seconds
    newclass = addon:newClass( name, parentClass ) -- creates a new class <name> which inherits from <parentClass>
    - New API calls added for frames, fontstrings and textures:
    :Place(point[, anchor[, relativepoint[, offset x, offset y]]]) -- as SetPoint, but also ClearAllPoints() for you
    :Size(width[, height]) -- height = width if height is omitted
    - New api calls for strings:
    str:tag() -- replaces select tags in the given string; string.tag("[tagname:arg1,arg2,etc]")
    str:split( separator ) -- splits a string into a table of substrings based on a separator
    - Removed:
    :Coin() -- string.tag("[money]") replaces it.

    2.3
    - Unreleased, reverted

    2.2
    - Upgraded the :Coin() function further
    - Removed all libraries, kept the shortcuts for backwards compability
    - Now embeds all functions into created addons (Except :New(), :AddLocale() and :FetchLocale())

    2.01
    - Now supports embedding into other addons

    2.0
    - Rewrite of the original gLib. Fully backwards compatible.
    - DropDown menus are now supported in the gLib.Menu:CreateOptionsPanel() function
    - Menu options are now sorted by their key/index

    1.11
    - Added a fail-safe to counter some SetPoint errors

    1.1
    - Added a replacement function for the default OnUpdate timers

    1.02
    - Now unregisters functions and events no longer needed

    1.01
    - Changed the manner of a fail-check in gLib:CreateCheckButton() and gLib:CreateText()

    1.0
    - Release version

    Hello, I'm not using your UI but I just thought to give you some ideas on how you can improve things and maybe make it more efficient.

    You already created a frame in your library, you can have one event handler to handle all your addons events, you don't need to set an event handler per addon.

    This will require some events management functionality.

    Most of the time formats are already handed to you with the built-in methods date(format), time(format) so maybe you can use these instead.

    Currently when you want to create a timer, you make a new handler for the provided frame, you can reuse the same frame you created in your library, and have a scheduler that prioritize the execution by certain time frame, there are few algorithms you can use to do so, such as the Binary heap, you can search in google the following words "priority queue time heap lua wow" and see what you get.

    You can define all your tables at the top locally, and at the end reference them to 'gLib'.

    Best Regards!

    Thanks for the good ideas. I'll definitely look into them.

    Update to match curse?
    Will your g*.* (lib, media, buff, etc.) files be updated to match curse?

    Also, as I can't login to curse anymore (they've stopped supporting IE as a browser ) here're are a bunch of errors:

    Probably won't, no.
    By glancing through your error list, most of it should be fixed btw. On Curse.
