nUI6 Alpha Released: v6.03.03.01 (Alpha)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.03.03.01 (Alpha)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Fixed the panel switching logic for the party mode unit frame panel

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an alpha pre-release of nUI6 for testing use only. Please note that it is early production code and is both (a) incomplete and (b) certain to contain errors.

Redistribution of this code to anyone, by any means, for any purpose is strictly prohibited!

This alpha release should be installed *WITH* nUI5 installed and active. The nUI6 alpha will disable all of the unit frame functionality in nUI5 and replace it with nUI6 unit frames. Note that when you disable nUI6, all of the normal nUI5 functionality will return to normal.

The purpose of this alpha release is to test the unit frame data engine and the basic unit frame layout. With that in mind, much of the unit frame display functionality is intentionally omitted in this release in order to get a good test of the data collection engine without the overhead of all of the graphics rendering.

With that in mind, when you install this alpha release, it will remove the unit frame panels and HUD from nUI5.

You will *not* be able to manually change unit frame panels in the alpha... this is on purpose to fully test the panel auto switching function. The manual switching will be enabled at a later time.

In addition, this first alpha does not contain casting bars or auras (buffs/debuffs) on purpose as both are graphics rendering intensive. With that in mind, the default Blizz player and target unit frames are enabled along with the default casting bar and aura displays.

This alpha does not include combo points or runes, so the default Blizzard options have been enabled for both.

This alpha contains unit frame panels for solo questing, five man parties and ten man raids. It does not contain raid panels for higher level raids.

What I am and am not asking the alpha testers for...

Do not tell me about things that are broken in nUI5 because of nUI6. That's intentional and expected... the only thing we are concerned with is the nUI6 unit frames themselves.

I do want to know what your experiences are with the performance of the new frames, memory usage for nUI6, any nUI6 errors that are generated (including taint) and any data errors you see in terms of health, power, etc.

If you have any comments, bug reports or other information to post on this alpha, please do so at the nUI support forum... http://forums.nUIaddon.com
