ARL Change Log

NOTE: Always remove the folder for old versions and install a fresh copy when upgrading.

Under development:

Version 2.2 Beta

Recipe Database:

• 4.0.6 recipes have been added.
• First aid trainers have been updated. Most of the recipes are availible from all 33 trainers except a few cataclysm which are only availible from 31 trainers. I think this is a bug so there may be two erroneous trainers for a few first aid recipes.
• A bunch of jewelcrafting recipes have had the items they craft linked to them.

New Features:

• A new slash command has been added: /arl scan <profession> This will scan the profession from a slash command, without requiring you to open up the tradeskill window yourself. Due to limitations, this will basically fire off the tradeskill for you so that window will open up. (Ticket 1145)

Bug Fixes:

• We didn't account for the Has Skill up filter. Now we do.
• Filters should properly reset after we muck with them during a scan. (Ticket 1161)
• Don't show rank 1 recipes when you know rank 2 recipes. (Ticket 1147)
• Scan button will no longer be hidden when you have Broker Profession_Menu installed. (Ticket 1170)

Version 2.1 Release

Recipe Database:

• Recipes new to Cataclysm have been added, and old recipes are still being reworked with new acquire methods or deleted as appropriate.

Bug Fixes:

• Bug with the recipe dataminer fixed which prevented spell IDs of some recipes from being displayed.
• Cooking tradeskill link fixed
• GenericAddRecipeAcquire made more fault-tolerant.
• Guild-linked tradeskills will now be handled the same as regular linked tradeskills - they will not be counted as being known by the player.

New Features:

• Added support for recipes obtained via achievements.
• Searching for recipes by reputation name is now possible.

Miscellaneous changes:

• Database external documentation removed. It was outdated and will be replaced slowly by luadoc within the code.

Version 2.0 Release

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• Improved search editbox functionality - focus is no longer lost when every letter has been deleted, in which case the text is reset and highlighted for type-over.
• Clicking anywhere outside of the panel will now remove focus from the search editbox.
• It is now possible to list only recipes of certain skill levels by typing the skill level into the search editbox.
• The "Skill Level" checkbox now simply reads as "Skill" - this fixes issues with other locales.
• Expanding or contracting the recipe panel will now generate a "clicking" sound.

Miscellaneous changes:

• Moved many configuration options around to make sense and removed those which are accessible directly from the main panel.
• Added Display Option to toggle between using a small (default) or large font in the recipe list.
• Waypoint descriptions are now colored by acquisition type and item quality.

Bug Fixes:

• Resetting the main panel's position no longer resets the tooltip scale or font size.
• Added a work-around for the French localization of the Runeforging "profession" not being conformant with other locales.
• Fixed tooltip colorcode for excluded recipes.

Version 2.0 Release Candidate 2

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• Category tabs will now individually retain the state of their expand/collapse buttons - per profession.
• Category tabs will now individually retain their scrollbutton positions - per profession.
• Clicking the profession-cycling button will now emit a sound.
• Tooltips for list entries will no longer be clipped when close to the screen edge; instead, they will draw completely on-screen even if this results in an overlap over the list.
• For recipes which have multiple sources, it is now possible to create a waypoint to a specific source.
• Moved the sort-method toggle button to the right of the expand/collapse button so its position is consistent and always within reach no matter the state of the frame. Changed the look of the main panel's filter toggle button to accommodate.

Database changes:

• Corrected Penney Copperpinch - she is neutral, not strictly Horde-friendly.
• Finally got around to adding world drop locations to the remaining recipes in Jewelcrafting. All world drop recipes throughout the databases now have a location set.

Miscellaneous changes:

• Adjusted the main panel's mouse-interactive and screen-clamp areas.
• Added support for Cartographer_Waypoints (and thereby Carbonite's waypoint system).
• Added support for a possible TomTom-API addition to change a waypoint's icon to that of the recipe's profession.
• Pressing the "Reset Window Position" button from the Display Options now works immediately.
• Added a configurable (1-50) maximum for the number of unknown recipes to be shown in vendor/trainer/mob tooltips.

Bug Fixes.

• Cycling through professions while the tradeskill UI is closed will no longer prevent the escape key from closing AddOn frames, and will no longer produce the tradeskill-frame opening sound.
• Creating waypoints (requires TomTom, Cartographer_Waypoints, or Carbonite) for recipes in instances will now work.
• Creating waypoints no longer requires both minimap and worldmap points to be enabled - one or the other will work.

• List entries of the types "World Drop" or "Custom" will no longer show a tooltip hint for creating waypoints.

Version 2.0 Release Candidate 1

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• Completely revamped the GUI: The main panel is wider, allowing more text to fit in the list without being truncated.
• The currently-selected filter category will now persist between expanding or collapsing the panel.
• Removed the word "Miscellaneous" and the "Display Exclusions" checkbox from the Miscellaneous filter menu.
• The lists for each tab will now retain the state of their entries - if a recipe is expanded in a tab it will remain so even if another tab is selected, the sorting method is changed, or the list panel is closed.

Miscellaneous changes:

• Many recipes have had their quality levels corrected.
• The daily cooking quests in Dalaran have been linked to three cooking recipes.
• Many tooltip phrases have been refined/corrected.
• Many quests have been newly linked to recipes.

• New slash command argument: "/arl tradelinks" - Prints a list of pre-generated tradeskill links.

Version 1.1.0 Beta 2

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• Removed the "sorting type" dropdown menu - it has been replaced by three "view mode" tabs at the bottom of the panel; "Acquisition", "Location", and "Recipe".
• The three view modes can be viewed in either ascending or descending order, and either by recipe name or by skill level.
• A toggle has been added for displaying recipes which have been put into the exclusion list.
• The "Filter" and "Reset" buttons are now the same size.
• The search entry box has been lengthened.
• The "Search" and "X" (clear search) buttons have been removed - they are now unnecessary due to improved entry box behavior.

• The list panel will no longer "jump" when being expanded or contracted.

Version 1.1.0 Beta 1

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• The behavior of Location sorting has been fundamentally changed. The list will now contain location names which can be expanded to show all recipes which can be obtained in that location.
• The behavior of Acquisition sorting has been fundamentally changed. The list will now contain the names of acquire types such as "World Drop", "Trainer", and "Vendor", which can be expanded to show all recipes which can be obtained in that manner.
• Recipe sorting types in the dropdown selector are now localized.
• Typing in the search entry box will now yield results immediately.

Changes to recipe filters:

• A new filter category has been added which allows selective filtering based on the quality of the recipe item.
• The icons for the Reputation and Obtain filter categories have been changed.
• Reputation filters now behave identically to Class filters - every flag must be toggled off for the recipe to not show in the list.
• The General filter category now has a "Retired" checkbox which allows for filtering recipes which have been removed from the game.

Miscellaneous changes:

• The Display configuration section now has a toggle for showing unknown recipes in the tooltip for trainers, vendors, and mobs.
• The textdump facility now has a cleaner CSV output and added support for BBCode output and Name output.
