v. 5.2 - 2013/03/05
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 5.2.

v. 5.1.1 - 2012/12/28
- *Actually* updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 5.1. Oops.
- Fixed an error that could occur if you had a caged battle critter in your bags.

v. 5.1 - 2012/12/19
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 5.1.
- Includes updated PeriodicTable library -- nearly all Pandaren foods are now supported.
- Fixed errors that could occur when showing the Feed-O-Matic Options UI.

v. 5.0.2 - 2012/09/30
- Includes updated PeriodicTable library with support for the delicious foods of Pandaria.

v. 5.0.1 - 2012/08/30
- Fixed a "blocked action" error when applying glyphs since WoW Patch 5.0.

v. 5.0 - 2012/08/28
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 5.0.
- Note: does not include new Mists of Pandaria foods; as of the current beta, such foods cannot be fed to pets (so there's little point in having Feed-O-Matic attempt to use them).

v. 4.3.1 - 2012/01/04
- Now supports the Brazilian Portuguese localization of the WoW client thanks to data from pt.wowhead.com. (Only the client-specific strings needed for functionality under Portuguese are translated; if you'd like to help provide a translation for Feed-O-Matic's own UI text, see the localization.lua file.)

v. 4.3 - 2011/11/29
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 4.3.

v. 4.2 - 2011/06/28
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 4.2.
- WoW Patch 4.2 makes the Interface Options window much bigger -- now there's room for all of Feed-O-Matic's options (including the food preferences table) on one pane.
- Fixed an issue where the Feed Pet button would show for pets that aren't hunter-tamed beasts -- e.g. quest pets, vehicles, etc.
- The Feed-O-Matic options panel no longer appears if Feed-O-Matic is loaded on a non-hunter character.
- Options now default to being shared across all characters; see the Options Profile panel if you'd prefer per-character, per-server, or per-class settings. (This change may not take effect if you already have saved options; choose the Default options profile if you'd prefer this behavior)

v. 4.1.3 - 2011/05/15
- Added an option to hide the button Feed-O-Matic adds to the default UI's pet frame -- when the button is hidden, the Feed-O-Matic Feed Pet key binding or macro command `/click FOM_FeedButton` still can be used to feed the pet. (You might find this option useful if using a UI that changes/hides the default pet frame.)
- Feed-O-Matic's key binding now shows the name of the Feed Pet spell (or whatever it's called in your WoW localization) instead of "FOM_FEED".

v. 4.1.2 - 2011/05/02
- The Feed Pet button (added by Feed-O-Matic to the default UI's pet frame) now indicates when Feed Pet is unusable or on cooldown.
- Improvements to the tooltip shown when mousing over the Feet Pet button:
- Now shows more information about what food Feed-O-Matic will use next.
- Text in the tooltip is smaller and a bit more terse.
- Tooltip can be hidden entirely via an advanced user preference: type `/fom notooltip` to disable the tooltip (or enable it again).

v. 4.1.1 - 2011/04/28
- Further changes to support WoW Patch 4.1: Since the Pet Happiness icon in the default UI is no more, Feed-O-Matic puts a new button in its former place next to the pet frame. This button supports all the behaviors we previously added to the pet happiness icon -- click to feed, right-click for options. In addition, the button shows the icon of the food we'll next use for feeding the pet (and as before, can be moused over to identify the food by name).
- When no pet is currently summoned, food quality in the Food Preferences options panel is calculated assuming a pet of level equal to the hunter's (matching a Patch 4.1 change in which pets are always kept at their master's level).
- Adjusted detail and tooltip text in Feed-O-Matic's options panel to reflect the elimination of the happiness mechanic and new behavior of Feed Pet.

v. 4.1 - 2011/04/26
- WoW Patch 4.1 removes the Pet Happiness mechanic; Feed Pet now works only as a large out-of-combat heal. As such, features related to tracking pet happiness and warning when the pet needs feeding have been removed from Feed-O-Matic (which still works great for simplifying the process of feeding a pet).
- New pet families introduced with Patch 4.0 & Cataclysm are now localized for Spanish, German, French, and Russian. (Localized pet family names are used for providing pet-specific feeding emotes; see FeedOMatic_Emotes.lua.)

v. 4.0.4 - 2011/01/07
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library fixing an issue where recently added foods were't actually showing up.
- Some of the options in Feed-O-Matic's options panel now provide detailed explanations in tooltips.
- Improvements to the list in Food Preferences (under Feed-O-Matic's options panel):
- The color of a food's name now reflects its quality (how quickly it restores your pet's happiness).
- Foods of the same quality are sorted by name.
- When no pet is currently summoned, food quality is calculated assuming a pet of three levels below yours (previously we assumed five; this matches a change from patch 4.0 in which pets are always kept within three levels of their masters).

v. 4.0.3 - 2011/01/01
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library with more foods (Murglesnout, Pygmy Suckerfish, Shimmering Minnow).

v. 4.0.2 - 2010/12/17
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library with more Cataclysm foods (including a number of fish and meat items edible by pets but not by players).
- Fixes an issue where FOM wouldn't notice when the pet reached full happiness after feeding (or using Glyph of Mend Pet).

v. 4.0.1 - 2010/12/07
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library:
- now includes most Cataclysm foods.
- removed some foods pets don't eat.
- added some pre-Cataclysm foods which weren't included before.
- Fixes an issue where we wouldn't warn that the pet needs feeding immediately after taming.
- Known issue: we don't yet have family-specific hungry sounds for the new pet families introduced with patch 4.0.3a (the Shattering) and Cataclysm. Please send email if there's a sound your new pet makes that you'd like him to make when he's hungry (and know the WoW-internal filename/path for it).

v. 4.0 - 2010/10/11
- Updated for compatibility with WoW Patch 4.0.1 (and Cataclysm Beta).
- NOTE: Cataclysm foods are not yet in the database; they will be provided in a future update.

v. 3.3 - 2009/12/08
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 3.3.
- Reimplemented pet happiness icon "pulse" using new Animation features from recent WoW patches for lower CPU usage.
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists.

v. 3.2 - 2009/08/04
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 3.2.
- Updated French localization by oXid_FoX.
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists.

v. 3.1 - 2009/04/18
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 3.1.
- Now uses Ace3 library for saved settings and options UI (any previously saved preferences will be reset to default).
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists.
- Fixes an issue where a "Can't find Feed Pet spell" message could appear upon login. (The message now only appears if FOM still can't find the spell when you try to feed your pet.)
- Includes possible fix for a blocked/tainted action error I've not been able to reproduce.

v. 3.0.5 - 2009/02/08
- Fixes an error message when attempting to produce a random emote.
- Updated Korean localization by "kelvin Joe".
- Added Russian localization by StingerSoft from WoWInterface.com.
- Updated basic locale support for French, German, and Spanish from Wowhead's databases.
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists.

v. 3.0.4 - 2008/10/24
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library, fixing an issue in which older versions of the library's datasets would override newer versions... which could cause FOM to ignore certain foods.

v. 3.0.3 - 2008/10/18
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists:
- Fixes subcategory/supercategory linkage issues that caused FOM to ignore certain foods (such as Conjured Mana Biscuit and Naaru Ration).
- Includes all (currently known to Wowhead) new foods from Wrath of the Lich King content.
- Reorganized the Food Preferences panel slightly to account for Wrath of the Lich King foods having more possible cooking products. (Don't like mammoth? Try cooking it differently!)
- Fixed an error that could occur when FOM chooses the next food to use.
- Fixed an issue where FOM wouldn't choose a food (and thus feeding would be unavailable) after reloading the UI.
- Fixed an issue where category headers would inconsistently appear grayed out in the Food Preferences list.
- Items that aren't in the PeriodicTable categories corresponding to the six possible pet diets (i.e. not edible by pets) will no longer show in the Food Preferences list.
- Added more random feeding emotes thanks to the commenters at maniasarcania.com. Feeding emotes can now be made specific to categories of foods (specified by PeriodicTable sets).

v. 3.0.2 - 2008/10/15
- Fixed an bug causing us to ignore diets beyond the first for pets with multiple diets.
- Fixed an error when attempting to play pet hungry sounds.
- Added French random emotes by Laumac from WoWInterface.com.

v. 3.0.1 - 2008/10/14
- Fixed a bug where clicking foods in the new Food Preferences panel (see 3.0 release notes below) wouldn't show them as excluded/unchecked.
- When a category is excluded/unchecked in said panel, the foods within it appear grayed out.

v. 3.0 - 2008/10/14
- Updated for compatibility with WoW Patch 3.0 and Wrath of the Lich King.
- Rebuilt FOM's system for choosing foods to feed your pet:
- Our database of valid pet foods now comes from the PeriodicTable library.
- Priority order for choosing foods is based (in part) on PeriodicTable sets (conjured, basic, or bonus foods, etc.)
- There's now a Food Preferences sub-panel under GFW Feed-O-Matic in the Interface Options window.
- In it, all valid pet foods your WoW client has seen are listed by category.
- The order of categories and foods in the list reflects the priority order for choosing foods: those nearer the top of the list will be picked before those below.
- Individual foods can be unchecked in the list to prevent FOM from feeding them to your pet.
- Entire categories can also be unchecked, which will prevent FOM from using any food of that category (even ones you haven't seen yet). By default, only the "Well Fed" foods are disabled, so be sure to visit the list if you want to exclude other foods.
- The list can be filtered to show only relevant foods for your pet (or for a pet of about your level, if you don't have a pet summoned at the moment) or only foods you're currently carrying.
- If a food can be cooked, the list shows information about each of the the Cooking recipe(s) that use it: whether you know the recipe, its difficulty (i.e. orange, yellow, green or gray in the Cooking window), and the food produced.
- This list replaces the "avoid bonus foods" and "avoid cooking foods" options in previous releases.
- The "keep bag space open" option from previous releases has been removed: given multiple stacks of the same food, FOM will now always consume the smaller stack first so as to free up bag space more quickly.
- Fixed several issues which caused the "Avoid foods needed for quests" option to fail.
- Added numerous random feeding emotes -- thanks to Mania and the creative commenters at http://maniasarcania.com!
- Locale issues:
- The random text added to feeding emotes (e.g. "Yum!", "Good boy!", etc) is now localizable. See the FeedOMatic_Emotes.lua file for details. (Thanks Virshan for a few Spanish.)
- Added Korean localization by Boddalhee of Deathwing (KR).
- Added Spanish localization by Javier Melo.
- Added basic locale support for Russian, and updated basic locale support for French and German, based on Wowhead's multilingual database. (That is, enough translations for all features to work the same as in English, but no localized UI text.)
- Translations are missing for the new and renamed beast families (in WoW 3.0 / WotLK), so the family-specific hungry sounds don't currently work in locales other than English.
