Reminders before 4.2 goes live

[Cairenn]

Just a few notes for everyone since all the signs are pointing to 4.2 going live next week (barring any major bugs showing up that delays its release):

• We've reset our Survival Guide, so we can flag them compliant again as they get updated. If you see any of them that have been updated that we haven't marked as such already, please feel free to email us at [email protected] with the link to where it has been updated.
• As well, you can always see the most recent uploads and updates on WoWInterface here.

And a couple notes specifically for authors:

• Remember that COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED has changed. Details are in this thread.
• We have reset the 'works with' flag on the site, so if/when your addon is 4.2 compatible, you can go ahead and tag it as such.

Angry Users: There must be another way of doing code changes!
Addon Author: That's right! Every time they make a WoW patch, they burn our addons down!

That is what makes it fun right?

Hey, as long as changes are for the better and/or make sense (which I've never come across an API change that did not meet those criteria - not that I can remember, anyway), I don't care.

Having a "find in files" text editor one could search for "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT" (case sensitive) and find all the addons that use these events, hence know what to update and what won't be affected by the combat log change.
