This release is a test version only. You are welcome to use it and submit feedback, bug reports, and feature requests, but it is truly beta in every sense of the word. Expect bugs, and definitely expect not all features to be available.
The following is planned but is not currently implemented:
You can move teh groups by holding CTRL and then dragging the header around. When you are dragging the header is highlighted yellow. I will add the ability to hide said headers in the next update.
There are no options. Yes there will be as soon as we can get it implemented, but we chose to implement features first as a priority, and slowly introduce customizations later.
Currently there is no limit to bar display. This means that you may in fact get TOO MANY bars shown in places like Battlegrounds. Expect this behavior and plan accordingly. This is not a full production addon, so don't expect to be using it for all of your needs right away.
There may be bugs. The timer library used has been customized, and forked. This is pending a release of an updated version of the timer library that I am involved in developing. For now I had to resort to editing the existing library directly to get some of the features and tweaks that I needed.
Oh yes, there are bugs. Not necessarily glaring bugs like big red errors or anything, but things you would expect to work properly may not yet. For one thing there is some weirdness to bar expiration on unit death. Expect some abrs to stick around even after that unit dies, but be sure that if that unit comes back and gets a new spell, the appropriate timer will be added / updated. You may notice other weirdness like multiple bars showing for the same spell (AOE anyone?)
Please submit your requests and reports via comments. We are in fact reviewing them and updating things as we go. Now that a beta is out, we can hopefully push more frequent updates to you as we add more features and fix more bugs. Check back often so that you are getting the most up to date version available. Obviously version checking may be one of earlier features to be added...

Originally posted by Zadnak One thing I really liked about NECB pre-2.4 was that it not only tracked enemy cooldowns, but friendly cooldowns as well. As a raid leader, I could click on Shaman X and see that he had 3 minutes left on Bloodlust. Is there a mod that could do something like this for me?
RBM addon with AbilityWatch plugin should be able to do it.
RBM is the closest to NECB for me in terms of features. You can download RBM from wowace

Originally posted by Bag There are plenty of mods that do hot/dot tracking alone. DoTimer is good, RBM, Sorren's Timers, HotMan, ClassTimers, among others.
i tried ClassTimers, and it really does look great but it dosnt track the ShadowFiend, i know it dosnt track all abilities but i can add the ones it dosnt (i had to add HolyFire and Starshards) but it still dosnt track how long my ShadowFiend has been out for.
Originally posted by tinyu what i loved most about NECB was that it would let me see the duration of spells ie how long my Shadow Fiends has left or how long my renew has left are there any mods that will let me do that? seeing as NECB is... broke and dosnt look like itll be fixed any time soon.

Originally posted by Awwe I started using Antagonist when this addon died. Does exactly what I need it to in an easy to read format and is highly configurable. Check it out on wowace.
In terms of the PvP end, Afflicted, Antagonist, RWMod all do basically the same thing. My personal preference was for Afflicted. There is one mod I've seen which seems to be quite good and comparable to NECB, and that's RisenBossMods, which has target/focus debuff watching, player buff watching, boss modules, and a module that watches opponents' cds/gains. There are minor issues with each of these mods, however, which place them all below the promise of a fixed NECB. I hope someone takes the reigns on this.
