The first publicly available release of nUI Beta 4 is now available for download. This release is compatible with WotLK and ready for play with the new expansion pack.
That said, there are three issues that remain incomplete at this time as a result of Bliz having taken the public test servers for WotLK down last week:
1) nUI Beta 4 does not yet implement a vehicle panel. When you enter a vehicle the default Bliz vehicle panel with overlay nUI's dashboard. The panel should function normally. You *may* experience graphic artifacts and/or issues with your keybindings after you exit the vehicle. If you do, use the '/nui rl' command to reload the UI and the issue will be resolved.
2) nUI Beta 4 does not yet integrate the Death Knight's Rune Frame. The rune frame will appear in the upper left of the display area for Death Knights and functions as per the Bliz default.
3) As your Death Knight gains new presences the stance/shapeshift bar will not automatically update as it should. You will need to execute a '/nui rl' to reload the UI after you learn a new DK Presence.
I will be attending to all three of these issues as quickly as I can. I'll have my copy of WotLK when I get home from work tomorrow and will get started immediately on resolving those three issues and will then release another update.
In the meantime, this is the first public release of Beta 4 and as such will almost certainly have bugs in it. Please report bugs at
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...d.php?p=108929 if at all possible, or you may either report any bugs you find on this comment board or via direct e-mail to

How you can help support nUI's continued development: I am currently trying to recover from 14 months of unemployment and with over $20,000 in debt (unpaid mortgage payments, loans, etc.), every penny makes a serious difference. Your contribution of $5, $10, $20 or more to support the ongoing development of nUI would be greatly appreciated. Click here to make a donation now, please?!
Lastly, please vote for nUI and add it to your favorites list... it helps nUI get more exposure. Thanks for your support!

Known Issues:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- WotLK issues still outstanding... these cannot get addressed until after the release
of WotLK as there is no longer a valid working WotLK test server /sigh
* New DK presences do not update the shapeshift bar
* Add management of the Bliz RuneFrame for Death Knights
* Add vehicle frame/mode integration to the dashboard
-- generic issues outstanding
* Enabling the "Use UI Scale" option in the Bliz video configuration menu blows up
nUI's layout and scaling. For now... just uncheck this option until I can fix it.
* Carbonite is having issues updating the directional arrow when the minimap and/or
battlefield minimap is hidden in the info panel
* Poison Pouch mod minimap button is missed by button bag
* Alpha Map minimap button is not scaling correctly in button bag
* Titan Panel is causing an error when the bottom bar is enabled
* Titan panel mouseover tooltips are not compatible with nUI's fixed position
tooltip option
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Bliz / nUI compatibility issues...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Right clicking a unit frame and selecting "set focus" taints in combat == this is
a known WoW 3.0.2 bug and beyond nUI's control. Hopefully Bliz will address it in
the next patch.
* Switching between windowed and non-windowed mode breaks nUI's textures and HUD -- this
is caused by a known Bliz bug in their video driver code and applies only to certain
graphics cards and video drivers. It is nearly random in terms of which mods it will
impact... anything from very complex to completely trivial mods are broken by this
bug but it is always mods that use custom textures. There is no fix. The only
workaround is to (a) avoid switching between windowed and non-windowed modes as much
as possible and use '/nui rl' to reload the user interface when it gets broken. It is
worth noting this bug affects Macs most often, but also impacts some PCs (such as
mine). This bug has been a round a very long time and no telling if or when it will
ever be fixed.
* If your mouse buttons 4 and 5 do not work for click-casting on unit frames, make
sure your mouse driver is sending mouse button clicks and not key presses. You can
do this by going to the key binding interface and trying to bind autorun to mouse
button 4. If the key binding does not say "Button 4" or "Mouse Button 4" then the
issue is your mouse driver or driver settings. Bliz does not support key-presses
as mouse clicks directly and mods like Clique cannot detect key presses in that way.

To-Do List / Planned features
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Found a code solution to a WoW voice chat bug that caused WoW to thrown an error
when you right clicked a party member unit frame while voice chat was enabled
* Move the default location of the party loot popup... it interferes with the dashboard
* The 15, 20, 25 and 40 man raid panels are not in the pre-release... both because I am
not quite satisfied with them and, again, I'm trying to not have to fix everything at
once... make sure the core stuff is all working, then add the bells and whistles if
you understand.
* Add Threat Bar back
* Add sorting of raid unit frames by raid group and class
* Add font size options for Chat and Combat log frames
* Add totem timers
* Add keybindings for button bag, unit panel, info panel and hud layout buttons
* Add bongos style keybinding feature to action buttons
* Add automatic unit panel switching for raids/parties, etc. (and an override option)
* Add audio cues for cooldowns, cc breaks, etc.
* Add DruidManaBar type functionality to unit frames
* Add 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 unit frame panels for arena play
* Add Proximo functionality to unit frames for arena unit panels
* Add durability, wardrobe manager, ammo tracker and gold tracker to console buttons
* Add autobar style support for quest items, food/drink/pots, mounts, vanity pets
* Add option to set location precision to zero decimal places on coordinate display
* Add target marking tool a la LuckyCharms

Version 4.01.00 (Beta) -- First nUI Beta 4 Public release
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a bug in the '/nui bb' slash command that threw a secure frames error when
executed and preventing the button bag from being opened and closed. Note: you
cannot use the '/nui bb' command to open and close the button bag while in combat.
* Fixed a bug in the '/nui console {on|off|mousever}' command for German players that
caused the console to not work correctly. The correct commands are now set to
'/nui console on', '/nui console off' and '/nui console mouseover' -- nUI should
fix your configuration file when you first log in with this patch, however, you
may still need to issue the command to set the console option you desire.
* Added a '/nui onebag' slash command which toggles nUI's display of the full bag bar
on and off. By default, nUI displays the backpack, your four extra bag slots, the
minimap button bag and the keyring on the bag bar. Toggling this command will shrink
the bag bar to just the backpack, minimap button bag and keyring for compatability
with mods such as ArkInventory and other onebag type mods.
* Updated German localization file (thank you Marcel)
