PitBull Unit Frames 3.0
Please note that PitBull3 is no longer being actively developed. On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.
I strongly recommend that users migrate to PitBull4. You can not convert your config from PitBull3 and must reconfigure.
PitBull4 itself can be found at:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/pitbull4.aspx
You can find guides for setting it up at:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/guide/
And the FAQ here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/faq/
While PitBull4 is still in beta it is fully functional and has more features than PitBull3. It is actively developed on and bug fixes made regularly.
I do not plan on making any fixes to PitBull3 once Cataclysm releases. So you have plenty of time to make the migration.

PitBull is a Unit Frames addon that provides maximal customization and undergoes rigorous efficiency testing. It is created in a modular framework, which allows for mulitple authors to put their skills to work creating this great project.
It has support for many different kinds of units: player, target, pet, pet's target, target of target, target of target of target, focus, focus' target, party, party pets, party targets, party pet targets, raid, raid pets, raid targets, main tanks, main tank targets, main assists, main assist targets, etc.
Note: Almost all texts are configurable using the LibDogTag-3.0 format. See http://old.wowace.com/wiki/LibDogTag-3.0 for details or type '/dog' in-game.

Rock doesn't seem even close to ready for prime time. It has caused multiple issues with virtually every mod that uses it. What works for some fails for others. If this had followed the usual "developers release/alpha/beta/gold/final" path, much or this could be avoided. Sadly it seems to be alpha release quality.
I'm a bit surprised, since I've been a big proponent of Mr. Knights mods. On the wowace fubar forums he actually told people who were upset with rock's design and bugs to either retrograde to a version 2 build (which is of course now unsupported) or Switch to Titan. I'm sorry to say nearly all the Fubar users in my rather large guild have taken his advice and switched to Titan, which, hog though it is, is at least stable. We are not willing to troubleshoot Rock at the expense of our raid time.
Hopefully Ckknight will take a step back, take a deep breath, reassess rock, update his previous work sans rock, and do a re-release when he has properly vetted rock for general use. I hate to see the damage being done to the reputation of an otherwise fine developer due to this issue.
FFS what a annoying addon Rock Configuration hate it fuuuck up most of my addons
Whenever I mouseover my frame or my targets frame a window pops up saying something like "interface\frameXML\GameTooltip.lua:74:usage:GameTooltip:SetOwner(frame)"
was having problems of my own with Pitbull after the patch, wanted to mention that alot of changes u used to be able to make on the fly with pitbull now only take effect after u /reload ui esp if u have something like Cartographer or Fubar that has rock config in it. hope this helps someone
i have some few problems with new version... i cant enable my portrait and i cant enable hide blizzard options.... help plz ^^
oh btw my wow says my pitbull is out of date :\
Just downloaded the new version - working fine, except some settings aren't saved. Frame positions, sizes and bar themes are saved ok, but Portrait show/hide Bar show/hide Text settings Aura settings all reset upon logging out.
Just downloaded r49647 for the 2.2.0 patch. I am trying to get rid fhe default blizzard frames. Went into the options menu, and tried to check the hide blizzard frames option but couldn't. I have it loaded... and it just wouldn't go away. The game freezes for a frame when I check it.. but no checkmark shows up and now I have this really ugly window in the corner. D:
Same thing with the portraits.. which I also have loaded.
Just wondering what I am doing wrong. >.>;
Edit: Now that I check, none of the unchecked options under the modules option menu work...
To remove the Minimap icon either drag it with left click to a position that suits you, or open the new configuration window, choose the Rock-option and untick the Minimap icon - voila, gone! No need to use extra addons for that.
r47902 was the last version (I guess without Rock) that worked for me. Now I'm using r49482 without any errormessages. After I've found out that disabling module CombatFader made my player frame stop being translucent all the time, I'm happy with it again.
Yes, the one I had from WoWAce doesnt work and comes with some kind of Rock Configuration thing that lags a ton when I open it, going to try this version instead.
All of a sudden when i updated, I keep getting an error and there is some STUPID "Rock Configuration" window thing. WTF?
I am not sure this is the place to write this. But I am using WoWAceUpdater and update my addons on a daily basis. Recently PitBull seems to be out of order because I keep getting errormessages from it and it won't show any of the portraits (my own, partymembers, targets). As to my knowledge though the version put here works just dandy! I love this addon!
Does anyone know how to get text off of your casting bar? Meaning, it just shows the bar, and not saying what i'm casting.
I keep getting "Interface/FrameXML/ChatFrame.lua.2586: attempt to concatanate global 'arg 11' (a nul value)
Anyone else? or know how to fix it...
This UI rocks!
Is it possible for pitbull to come with default sets of different position for the party, raid etc? It's a powerful unitframe, but there is too much to tweak in it. I am trying to get my guild member to migrate to pitbull. If there can be a few sets of preset positions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey I really like pitbull, but i just have one problem I can't figure out. I've spent days messing with it, but can someone tell me how to make the Target's buffs and debuffs on different rows? I don't really like how the debuffs and buffs are next to eachother and I'd like it to be like normal blizzard or Perl. I'll check here for a few days but if someone can email me at [email protected] that'd be great!!! Thanks. Love the addon its great.
pitbull is da bomb!
I love Pitbull, but I have one question. Is there anyway to change it so that each character has different options? I have tried to see what I can do, but I have a main that raids, and then a rogue as my slave, and I want the bars in different spots, but what I do to one, happens to the other. Thanks in advance for any help.
Sadly I think PitBull isn't being updated anymore.. Shame tho, it was one of best UnitFrames addon I have used.. But for me.. It has way too many errors currently so I'll just find some other addon. Yes, that's one of bugs there, also the colors keep messing up whole time.. And the casting bar collapses with all other casting bar addons..
not being updated?
