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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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.
Modules:
- Aura - track any buffs or debuffs on the shown units. Also has the ability to highlight based on a curable debuff.
- Banzai - highlight units that have threat on them.

- VoiceIcon - show an icon based on whether or not the unit is talking.
Note: all modules can be enabled or disabled on-demand. Disabled modules don't take up any extra memory or CPU power.
There is no converter because the addon is just flat out too different in design to make a converter even reasonably realistic. It'd take many many many hours of time to write a converter. Most users can easily reconfigure in an hour. Both can be run side by side to help you configure.
I have no idea what you mean by that the layout editor isn't close to decent. PitBull3 didn't even have a concept of a layout editor. You just had individual configurations attached to each frame. It was a mess, didn't allow for the sharing of configurations between frames. I suspect that you haven't figured out that you can have as many layouts as you want in PitBull4 and have those layouts set on one frame or every frame.
As far as you won't be playing WoW until "this is fixed," what exactly do you think needs fixing? PitBull3 is working just as good now as it did before 3.3.5. If it wasn't you'd see a slew of people posting here and everywhere else with copies of the error messages. There are no error messages because there's no problem with PitBull3 that I'm aware of. If there was I would have fixed it and tagged a new release.
WoW is a changing environment. APIs change constantly, things that used to be hard become easy. New features come along. Bugs get introduced into the game that have to be worked around and workaround code gets included. Sooner or later you have to make a clean break. Start over from scratch.
Best of luck to you in this project. But considering that PitBull4 is nearly 2 years old now, I don't anticipate you actually bringing PitBull3 up to the level of PitBull4 in 3 days.
Sure it makes it a lot easier for people who can't configure an addon, but for anyone who wants a more customized experience, PB4 isn't the one to use.
I just want to know when your going to make Pitbull 5 or Pitbull 4.1 (the good version) since Pitbull 4.0 really suck compared to Pitbull 3...
And since Ive tried Pitbull 4.0 and it sucked so hard that I had to go back to Pitbull 3 I just want to know if there is any fan fix or anything to get the focus window to work.
Thanks for the answers!
P.S. Please tell who ever who thought of making that stupid layout profiles system that I wish them a long and hard death. D.S.

i installed pb3 and it works fine, but i cant see the debuff from target's target but i need it. Can somebody help me pls
PB3 lacks support for several things added in Wrath (vehicle swapping, runes, role icons for dungeon finder groups) on top of having numerous bugs (in particular huge issues with tainting that breaks it horribly in battlegrounds).
It's long past time to switch to PitBull4.
I don't wanna use X-perl it looks so ugly... /cry
So please... help me.... /aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh
(Already used the repairfile got rid of all my addons and reinstalled the pitbull addon to check out if it'd work then but it still didn't)

The errormessage above popped after I already deleted Pitbull.
Im gonna reinstall all my addons again now so I can play arenas decently tonight, this error really fucks me over and wasted allot of my time so I really hope u can fix this soon.
Everything else about this addon is awsome btw, keep up the good work.
