An alpha version of ZoneInfo Classic is available for 2.5.1, containing an alpha version of LibTourist; feel free to test it.
There are still some todo's for LibTourist, so if you spot something that's missing or incorrect, please let me know :-)

Ok, so I installed the alpha version. It works perfectly in the old zones, but shows nothing in Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle or the Exodar. It shows the name for each zone, just no detail.

Hi,
Herbs and mining nodes still have to be added to LibTourist for these zones, same goes for the Blood Elf zones. So, some data is missing indeed.
However, other data should be displayed, if applicable: Zone level, Fishing skill, Transports, Road connections and Flight nodes.
Ofcourse, this data will not be displayed if you have turned off these categories in the Addon Settings dialog. Can you check that?
Thanks!

I've just completely removed/deleted ZoneInfo Alpha then re-added it (I overwrote it last time). I checked the config interface, everything is ticked. As before, everything works perfectly for the old zones but only the zone name is displayed for the Draenei zones and no other information.

I assume you are missing all detailed information for the Outland zones as well?
Possibly you have another addon loaded that uses LibTourist Classic as well. If this addon uses an earlier version of the lib, and this addon is loaded first, then ZoneInfo will use the older lib, because that's the one that has been loaded - as libs are only loaded once.
And an earlier version of LibTourist does not provide any Burning Crusade info.
A way to test this, is to disable all other addons and only load ZoneInfo. If it then works correctly, you can find the addon that is causing problems by switching them back on one by one until the problem returns.

OK - I got it working, here's what I did:
I noticed my version of LibTourist Classic was from 16th August 2020. I checked for an update and saw it was updated 3 days ago so I installed the update.
This made no difference, still no info for the Draenei zones.
I then completely disabled LibTourist Classic in the Addon Control Panel, hoping that any other addon that was using it would throw up an error. This didn't happen, but now ZoneInfo Alpha works perfectly in all zones with this library disabled!
No info for Outland zones, but I presume this is expected for now?
I hope this makes sense to you. :D

LibTourist should not be installed as a separate addon. On its own the lib adds nothing to the game. Any addons that use libtourist (like ZoneInfo) will bring it along and load it for you.
So, remove the stand-alone installation of LibTourist and you should be ok ;-)
And yes, there should be info for the Outland zones...

LibTourist was in my addons folder and I didn't put it there, must've been some other addon that installed it (no idea which). :P
I've now removed it completely, ZoneInfo alpha now works perfectly in all zones. Extremely happy, many thanks! :D

Will this end up being the global LibTourist that all will use or just your special LibTourist for this addon?

LibTourist is released seperately so updates are available for addon developers to use in their addons. If they download the current alpha version, they can already use the same information as available for the latest ZoneInfo. So, LibTourist is available for general use and not exclusively for ZoneInfo.

I meant to say will your changes become their changes? Do we use yours in the meantime?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. There is no "yours" and "theirs" as I maintain both LibTourist and ZoneInfo.
Today I have made some fixes and additions to LibTourist and released a beta version. Shortly after that I made some minor fixes in ZoneInfo, and released a beta version of that, too.
The packager then automatically grabs the most recent version of LibTourist available when packaging a new ZoneInfo release. So, all you need to do is install the latest version of ZoneInfo and ignore LibTourist developments ;-)

Thanks, and yes, that is the plan. It will be primarily LibTourist-Classic library that I'll have to update. With some luck ZoneIfo can use the updated library with few or no changes.
Have you seen a release date yet?

No, I'm on the beta though and have been testing all the classic addons I use, I've updated the toc, no errors are being thrown, all the info still works for the original stuff without any problems that I can see off hand, should be fine once the MapIdLookupTable is updated and stuff added for Outland.

A new version of LibTourist will be released soon, ZoneInfo will follow shortly after that. Updating the lib turned out to be more work than I anticipated but it's almost done.
