  • Fixed some issues with the options interface not saving certain fields properly.
  • Made search pattern triggers also check secondary conditions to match the behavior of the other condition types.
  • Updated the MSBTIcons module .toc file to prevent certain cases where it wasn't being loaded in the correct order (Thanks dylanm).

5.0
  • Complete code rewrite to further reduce memory usage and CPU utilization. Blizzard's addition of memory and CPU tracking tools to the API were used to help achieve this. The CPU utilization is about 55% less, and the load up memory usage is now around 258 KiB.
  • Redesigned the profile system to use a full master/diff approach. This leads to a substantial memory savings when using multiple profiles. It also adds the benefit of allowing future changes to defaults to take place without having to completely reset user profiles.
  • The options interface was streamlined and rewritten using pure lua. All the tabs and popup frames are now dynamically created only when needed. The options are still load on demand and use no resources when not loaded.
  • Created a new set of spam controls:
    • Show ALL power gains WARNING: This can and will spam you!
    • Show hyper regen (mana gains during Evocation and Spirit Tap)
    • Thresholds for Healing, Damage, and Power Gains
    • Skill name substitution
    • Skill suppression (e.g. Vampiric Embrace)
    • Skill abbreviation option with new %sl event code to override at the event level
    • Independent throttle times per skill
    • Merge exclusion list (e.g. avoid merging mutilate)
  • New font opacity setting that follows the same inheritance mechanics as the other font settings, so each individual scroll area and event can have a custom opacity.
  • Added some "high level" controls to the options interface such as a "Toggle All" button to quickly toggle the enable state of all events in the selected category. This allows you to disable all incoming pet events with one click for example. Another example is a "Disable Skill Names" checkbox which quickly allows you to stop all skill names from being displayed without having to modify every single event and remove the %s.
  • Added built-in customizable cooldown notifications.
  • Crits are now separate events so they can be individually controlled.
  • Each scroll area may now have its own independent animation speed.
  • Scroll areas now have a customizable width that the animation styles obey when it makes sense.
  • New horizontal and static animation styles.
  • Created a new default scroll area using the new static animation style.
  • Implemented behaviors in the animation system which allow more customization of animation styles.
  • Added a new selectable behavior (Normal) to the Pow sticky animation style that will not perform the jiggle effect.
  • Added enemy buff gain and monster emote events (spell alert).
  • New money gains notification event.
  • There is now a full set of incoming pet events.
  • Added outgoing pet DoTs.
  • Every event can now be assigned a custom sound. (e.g. full combo points)
  • Several trigger conditions such as Self Buff Gains can now have multiple entries per trigger.
  • Added a debuff application number secondary trigger condition.
  • Added a spell usable secondary trigger condition.
  • Added several new fonts.
  • Added an optional skill icons module.
  • Made some minor tweaks to the default dispay and throttle settings to improve readability.
  • Fixed a few parsing issues.
