oUF 1.5.5 -> 1.5.6 changelog

[zork]

haste could you post the most noticable changes between both versions?

https://github.com/haste/oUF/commits/master?page=1

Short summary would be:
- Vehicle element merged into the core (it causes one issue because I'm limiting updating however, see Issue 69 on github. Solution not tested yet).
- New element: AltPowerBar
- Split things up in separate files to make it less messy to work with. There's still a couple of messy functions in ouf.lua however.
- Event handlers with multiple functions are converted back to single functions when possible. Previously they would remain dispatchers.
- bossN units don't use OnUpdate anymore.
- The aura tables don't have hidden holes anymore. Previously oUF would create all icons in a sequence[1].
- Post and Pre updates for entire frames. These only execute when oUF runs a full update of the frame. This is basically a proper solution to injecting code into self.__elements.

I just skimmed the git shortlog, but that should be everything major.

[1] Let's say we had 8 auras on a unit, and our aura code filtered out aura ids 3 4 6 7. In 1.5.5 and previous oUF would create the entire sequence of icons (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) and just hide 3 4 6 and 7. With 1.5.6 oUF will only create 1 2 3 4 and assign these to be 3 4 6 7.

Hopefully that made some sense :P.

Vehicle issues should be solved with 1.5.7.

Yeah, that's actually a pretty awesome change for raidframes with an aura filter that only show 1 icon at a time.

Currently testing 1.5.7. Do you need some specific tests? Vehicle combat, raid etc?

[haste]

Not really. General testing is always needed however.

This seems to have the effect that my boss frames are not updating anymore. They get updated when I mouse over them, but that's as far as it goes.

How are you spawning them? Mousing over the frame shouldn't trigger any updates either.

[zork]

I'm going to check bossframes tonight. Running 1.5.7. Currently no problems.

You can test boss frames in SFK and DM normal, as far as I know they are the only low level normal instances with boss units.
