Change log

Version 5.04.00 (Release)

* This is a cumulative release cut of nUI as of development version 5.03.13

-- Version 5.03.13 (Development)

* This update fixes a problem with fonts for nUI users who are using the Russian localization file.

-- Version 5.03.12 (Development)

* Updated Spanish localization file (thank you Jose)

* Added new font options to improve readability. Still need to add a GUI panel for the player to use to change fonts in-game. For now, see the appropriate localization file in [ Interface > Addons > nUI > Main ]

* Added a new feature to the action bars... when you have an active target, or you are in combat, any button on your action bar which is unusable, is on cooldown or is active on the target is dimmed to indicate that is cannot be cast at present, or does not need to be cast. Any spell which can be cast, is not in cooldown and is not active on the target (or yourself) is displayed at full brightness. This acts as a quick visual cue as to which actions you should/could be using at present.

* Added a new slash command '/nui bar dimming' to toggle the new action button dimming feature on and off.

* Added a new slash command '/nui bar dimalpha {n}' which allows the player to set a custom alpha level for action buttons that are currently dimmed. The default is 30% or '/nui bar dimalpha 0.30' -- valid values are 0

Known caveats

Known compatibility issues with third party mods...

   * Guild Event Manager is moving its minimap button back to the minimap out of the button
     bag whenever the player clicks on it. A minute or so later, nUI's button bag logic
     will see the button moved and return it to the button bag. 
     
   * Carbonite is having issues updating the directional arrow when the minimap and/or
     battlefield minimap is hidden in the info panel
     
   * Poison Pouch mod minimap button is missed by button bag
   
   * Alpha Map minimap button is not scaling correctly in button bag
   
   * nUI and Capping are not playing well... Capping's modification of the battlefield
     minimap is interfering with nUI's info panel management of the map
     
   * Titan Panel is causing an error when the bottom bar is enabled
   
   * Titan panel mouseover tooltips are not compatible with nUI's fixed position 
     tooltip option
     
   * http://www.onraid.com/ not playing well with button bag

Known Bliz / nUI compatibility issues...

   * Right clicking a unit frame and selecting "set focus" taints in combat == this is
     a known bug since WoW 3.0.2 and is beyond nUI's control. Hopefully Bliz will address
     it in the next patch (or two or three or twenty). You can target the desired focus 
     and then type '/focus' to aquire a focus frame until Bliz resolves this issue.
     
   * Switching between windowed and non-windowed mode breaks nUI's textures and HUD -- this
     is caused by a known Bliz bug in their video driver code and applies only to certain
     graphics cards and video drivers. It is nearly random in terms of which mods it will
     impact... anything from very complex to completely trivial mods are broken by this
     bug but it is always mods that use custom textures. There is no fix. The only 
     workaround is to (a) avoid switching between windowed and non-windowed modes as much
     as possible and use '/nui rl' to reload the user interface when it gets broken. It is
     worth noting this bug affects Macs most often, but also impacts some PCs (such as 
     mine). This bug has been a round a very long time and no telling if or when it will
     ever be fixed.

   * If your mouse buttons 4 and 5 do not work for click-casting on unit frames, make
     sure your mouse driver is sending mouse button clicks and not key presses. You can
     do this by going to the key binding interface and trying to bind autorun to mouse
     button 4. If the key binding does not say "Button 4" or "Mouse Button 4" then the
     issue is your mouse driver or driver settings. Bliz does not support key-presses
     as mouse clicks directly and mods like Clique cannot detect key presses in that way.
