Decursive 2.7.16

Decursive 2.7.16 (2024-02-19)

• Work on issue #20:

Since 10.2.5, Blizzard deprecated some long standing optimized APIs to get buffs and debuffs from units and replaced them with new APIs that have the downside effect of 'garbage-leaking' memory every time they are called (for Lua devs, they create a new table each time they return data on a buff/debuff and we cannot provide them with a table to use...).

This release of Decursive completely fixes memory usage when the "Show stealth status" option is used (on by default) which was the main cause of the huge memory usage increase since 10.2.5.

However, memory usage is still increased compared to before WoW 10.2.5 was released when some units have ongoing debuffs, fixing this is complicated because it touches the core of Decursive written more than 10 years ago.

Thus, new settings were added in the Micro Unit Frames performance options to control the global periodic unit rescan which is the main culprit regarding this increased memory usage and may in fact no longer be necessary for Decursive to work:

• Debuff periodic full scan
• Periodic scan debuf report

We need to test if we can go without this periodic rescan, you can set the setting to 0 in order to disable it completely or increase the delay between scans to a high value (10s) and enable the Periodic scan debug reporting options. This will create a debug report that will pop out after a fight if the scan function detected something that was not detected by the event system.

This periodic rescan may still be required by some very specific debuffs but I'm not sure that this is the case anymore.

Note that if you did not notice anything performance-wize since 10.2.5 with Decursive, you can ignore the above.

WoW classic and WoTLK are not affected by this issue (yet)

Decursive 2.7.10 (2023-09-12)

• Add support for Bleed Effects detection:
  • Decursive scans the debuffs with no type for particular keywords ('Physical' and 'Bleed' by default) in their description.
  • The debuffs are automatically added to a list the user can edit under the curing options (it is recommanded to review this list for non-English locales).

Many thanks to Teelolws for prototyping this solution and to Xadras for their suggestions and follow-ups about the user editable list. Their contributions made this solution possible.

Report any problem found with this new feature in issue #248 on wowace.com.

• Decursive will remember the priority of types when the associated spells disappear as long as the user does not change the priorities. The default priorities are displayed in blue instead of green. As it is today active spells will always be put on top whenever the user changes the settings and lost abilities will be put at the end keeping their former order.

• Some layout changes in the MUFs option panel to make it more comfy.

• WoW Classic: Fix detection of Dispel Magic Rank 2 for Priests.
