I have just sent the last planned close test period update via e-mail to all of nUI's supporters and language translators. This update should fix the problem with lib-Jostle causing the Bliz frames to reappear when zoning. It also addresses the problem of the new Warlock “Metamorphosis” shapeshift form coexisting with the Lock’s pet. Several other key bug fixes are included.
Unless a major problem is uncovered between now and tomorrow night, the next update will be a public release sometime Saturday evening.
If you find any problems in this release that are not documented below, please post your bug report at
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...d.php?p=106688 if at all possible. Otherwise, you are welcome to post your bug report on any of nUI’s comment pages at WoWUI, Curse or WoWInterface or e-mail me directly at
[email protected]
I expect to make the Beta 3 public this Saturday and will immediately begin work on a Beta 4 which will be developed specifically for the release of WotLK and made public on November 13th when WotLK goes live. Beta 4 will be available to nUI supporters and language translators only as a closed test (via e-mail only) for use on the WotLK test realms between this Saturday and November 13th. During this time I will not be adding any new features to Beta 3... only doing bug fixes. After WotLK goes live *then* I'll start adding new features, the other raid panels, etc... all in the WotLK compatible version of nUI.
As a matter of record, the Beta 4 is and will be backward compatible with the 3.0.2 patch on the live realms, so those who are receiving the Beta 4 updates via e-mail will be able to use that release both on the test realm and the live realms at the same time and will be ready for WotLK as soon as it goes live without having to fight for bandwidth to download the nUI update on November 13th.
Finally... please note this is a WoW 3.0.2 compatible alpha pre-release version of nUI and is *not* yet available for public download. This version is available only via direct e-mail to nUI's supporters. As always, my sincere thanks to all of nUI’s supporters for their help, their donations and their feedback… it’s the users that make nUI great, I just write the code!

you understand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed an error where non-English versions of nUI were throwing an error in the

around a new bug introduced by FuBar and the Ace library lib-Jostle which caused the
Bliz bars to reappear when the player zoned
