Git History Summary

This document condenses the major repository milestones from the first commit through the current v1.33.1 release so future work can start from the existing architectural context instead of reconstructing it from raw git history.

Timeline

2026-02-22 to 2026-02-23 — Foundation and Runtime Modernization

  • 0349d18 imported Ace3, oUF, supporting libraries, and addon assets.
  • cb50eca added castbar configuration and early castbar enhancements.
  • ac73c47 overhauled config/debug UX and integrated performance tooling.
  • 7b2919a modernized runtime behavior, synced framework pieces to newer oUF patterns, and hardened safer execution paths.
  • 8eb4820 added class resource auditing and commands.
  • a61dfd0 improved oUF plugin compatibility and refreshed contributor-facing docs.

2026-02-24 to 2026-02-26 — UI Systems, Protected Operations, and Security Hardening

  • 23d5df0 hardened frame fader behavior.
  • c161346 fixed ProtectedOperations early initialization and solo-party tooltip display regressions.
  • 5802b02 removed the Action Bars subsystem after secure-frame/taint constraints made the old approach unsafe in WoW 12.0.0+, while also improving Blizzard XP/Reputation fade controls and safe-value handling.
  • ac95af6 introduced OptionsV2 search and theming support.
  • 1702c4a expanded CustomTrackers with auto-learn, inline actions, and stability/performance fixes.
  • 49a3563 improved Blizzard skinning and import/export readability.

2026-02-27 to 2026-03-03 — oUF Event Model and Performance Architecture

  • a039dce, 6ec7f6c, and 787a1ba migrated oUF elements toward unit-scoped registration and then SmartRegisterUnitEvent-based filtering.
  • fd5cb72 added mixin-based component architecture for unit frames.
  • a177701 fixed absorb/secret handling edge cases.
  • c561e50 introduced IndicatorPoolManager across multiple indicator types.
  • 09d2d35 fixed party tags not updating until combat.
  • 02b6529 and 86f2088 established SmartRegisterUnitEvent as a core performance primitive for 30-50% event filtering gains.
  • 0fc5250 completed ColorCurve integration and LibQTip rollout.
  • 7f21061 integrated DirtyFlagManager batching.
  • 9ea43d4 added SafeReload for combat-safe reload workflows.
  • 864db87 synced recent upstream oUF connection fixes and resolved solo-party visibility issues.

2026-03-04 to 2026-03-05 — Validation, Layout, and Phase 4 Expansion

  • 8c7f3f7 added ProfileValidator for import-tree validation.
  • b1e0894 implemented pixel-perfect scaling.
  • edab41b delivered a major Phase 4 update: castbars for all supported units, the OptionsV2 sidebar, and profile migration support.

2026-03-12 — DataText Enhancement Track, Low-Risk Coalescer Pilot, and Release 1.33.1

  • 2944249 expanded DataText layouts and slot/display options, added the low-risk non-unit coalescer pilot and slash diagnostics, and introduced EditMode/TotemBar related system work.
  • 1909d99 and d95a117 finalized release preparation and synchronized release metadata for v1.33.1.
  • Release v1.33.1 shipped with validated DataText Step 3, Step 5, Step 5b, and Step 5c work plus the validated low-risk coalescer pilot.

Major Features Added Over Time

  • Protected operations queue for combat-safe deferred mutations.
  • OptionsV2 search, theming, and sidebar navigation.
  • SmartRegisterUnitEvent integration and DirtyFlagManager batching.
  • IndicatorPoolManager and per-frame indicator instantiation fixes.
  • ColorCurve secret-safe smooth health gradients.
  • SafeReload and release automation scripts.
  • Castbars for all major unit types with profile migration support.
  • DataText/DataBar expansion:
    • upgraded Currencies and Reputation providers,
    • Spec and LootSpec providers,
    • 3-slot, 5-slot, and 7-slot layouts,
    • per-slot LDB display modes,
    • improved tooltip/click refresh behavior.
  • Low-risk non-unit coalescer pilot for SPELL_UPDATE_COOLDOWN + SPELL_UPDATE_CHARGES and BAG_UPDATE.

Repeated Issues and Their Resolutions

Secret-Value and Midnight Restrictions

  • Problem: direct boolean/arithmetic use of secret-returning APIs caused runtime failures and taint escalation.
  • Resolution: standardize on SafeNumber, SafeText, SafeAPICall, IsSecretValue, ColorCurve, and Blizzard-native systems where possible.

Secure-Frame / Action Bar Constraints

  • Problem: the old action bar subsystem could not be made safe under WoW 12.0.0+ secure restrictions.
  • Resolution: remove the subsystem rather than carry an unsafe implementation forward; future protected-frame work must use template inheritance and attribute-driven state.

Party/Raid Castbar Initialization Failures

  • Problem: castbars existed but did not reliably receive events after spawn.
  • Resolution: do not manually register oUF element events in Style(), and use the spawn-time disable→enable rebind workaround for castbars until the underlying lifecycle timing issue is fully understood.

Group Header Visibility and Solo-Party Edge Cases

  • Problem: /reload and delve/follower contexts could leave group headers spawned but stale or hidden.
  • Resolution: treat oUF:Factory(...) as async, apply visibility inside the callback, and re-register state drivers when cached visibility state is stale.

Shared Indicator Texture/Frame Bugs

  • Problem: cached textures/frames were reparented to the last frame and broke party/raid indicators.
  • Resolution: create new indicator textures/frames per unit frame and never cache them across frames.

Datatext Provider Crash and Layout Bleed

  • Problem: Spec/LootSpec paths used missing APIs or wrong identifiers, and dense layouts could bleed text or duplicate tooltip rows.
  • Resolution: use specialization index APIs plus GetLootSpecialization(), clear tooltip lines before rebuild, and constrain label width/word wrap by slot width.

oUF Upstream Audit Status

  • As of 2026-03-12, the bundled oUF copy already contains the recent upstream 13.3.1 fixes for portrait secret GUID handling, connection updates, private aura ForceUpdate, aura harmful detection, ready check script binding, PvP classification pcall, and AdditionalPower prediction support.
  • Remaining drift from upstream is largely intentional SUF customization, especially around SmartRegisterUnitEvent and local UI behavior. Do not replace the bundled oUF tree wholesale without a targeted review.
