2.8.0 (2018-09-30)

Full Changelog

Highlights

In this release, we switched our compression library from LibCompress to LibDeflate by @SafeteeWoW. This is approximately a 80% decrease in the size of large string exports, and a further decrease in the size of addon channel transmissions. Yes, we will no longer freeze your client when you export huge groups, this is for you Tehr, Reloe, Causese, Sloot, etc.

This implementation is backwards compatible with legacy strings, which were compressed and encoded using LibCompress, and older versions without LibDeflate will correctly detect that they cannot decode and decompress the data.

This means that starting today, if you export an aura, the person you want to give it to has to be running at least WeakAuras 2.8.0 or higher as well. This is also true for wago.io, which has been updated to support the new format and even displays a warning message for users.

Otherwise this release includes the usual round of bugfixes and template additions while we continue to work on our new buff trigger system that will bring way better performance for buff/debuff checking auras.

NOTE: THIS UPDATE REQUIRES A GAME RESTART
