Our UI Manager
Since it keeps coming up lately just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. The existing UI Manager is end-of-life and no longer supported. It will be replaced with a new version soon which is currently in closed Alpha testing.
|
woohooo... can't wait to see what you guys have cooking in the kitchen.
|
As a teaser I can probably let you in on a few secrets:
This is not an all-inclusive list and just was what I can think of right now off the top of my head, but I hope it lets you get an idea of what to expect in the new version. -- Shirik |
Wow, very much want. :) Can't wait.
|
ooh sound Great :)
|
|
any chance of a progress report or an update on who things are going with the Ui Manager please
|
It's still in Alpha.
Our test users have encountered a few major issues which have been since resolved. It does appear to handle all addons appropriately now. Things that need to be addressed for sure before it can move to beta:
All-in-all things seem to be going well. I just don't want to release it to beta until it's in a relatively stable state. |
Will the beta version be open for public to test?
|
The beta will be public, yes.

Api
Are you going to change the wow interface API?
I have a personal addon updater which currently uses the old API. The source is public, it's just that I haven't mentioned it anywhere, because I'm still improving/implementing some of the features I wanted it to have. It was intended to be aimed at programmers, not general public and therefore has advanced features (before/after update hooks, ability to write custom updaters to grab addons from other sites then wowinterface, etc). I would really love if there was a public API (the very same old one or improved one). At very least please don't shut down the old one. ~Maiku Mori |
The API has completely changed, unfortunately.
Whether or not the old API will stay up is in question. Currently I don't see any major reason to shut it down, but that decision is not up to me. |
ETA?

Especially since you guys have now disabled the old one and there is now no client at all. |
Soon TM ;)
It is still getting a couple kinks worked out before it's deemed in a state finished enough for a beta. It looks good, though. :) Remember, too, that Shirik has school, etc, outside of working on this. Even though he's spent countless nights with hardly any sleep to get it up and running, he's still human. :rolleyes: |

[Edit]: We've reconsidered and decided to re-enable download of them for now, until the new one is ready. Please be aware, however, that they may not work as well as could be hoped for.
============================================================= The UI Manager download was removed at the beginning of the month because of the number of problems it is experiencing now. If you have an existing one, you can still try to use it, but because so many people were having problems with it, we disabled new downloads of it. Sorry. =/ |
any chance of an update on the ETA for the beta on this? any info at all would be good, even if you have to leave a lot of room for error when you give a time frame for this. that is, assuming a time frame is even possible to give right now.
also, until the beta has started, i was hoping to use the old UI manager, but i can't seem to find the download link for it. the post before this one says in the edited in section that there should be a download available, of the outdated UI manager. i know that the link i want is probably right under my nose, but after 2 or so hours of searching, i give up on soloing the search. |
If I had to guess, I'd say Soon™

Mac/Linux version As to time frame, I can't really say at this point. Shirik has classes, etc, so he's trying to get the updater programmed around all the rest of his responsibilities. Sorry. =/ |
