- Items used in the Zul’Gurub and Ahn’Qiraj faction/token quests for class-specific gear (e.g. [Zulian Coin], [Primal Hakkari Bindings], [Idol of Rebirth], [Qiraji Ornate Hilt]) now show which classes can use them, which rewards they’re used for, and what reputation level is needed for those rewards.
- Typing
/ads [item link] shows more detailed info for ZG/AQ tokens and their rewards. Insert a link for a token (e.g. [Bone Scarab]) and you’ll get the same information as is shown in that token’s tooltip, plus item links for the rewards (if they’re available in your WoW client’s cache); insert a link for a reward (e.g. [Zandalar Predator’s Belt]) and you’ll get the list of tokens and the reputation level needed to obtain it.
- When you request info for raid items via
/ads [item link], AdSpace can automatically post the results to raid chat if you’re in a raid (or to party chat if in a party).
- You can now choose individually which types of items you want AdSpace to show information for. (e.g. show info for vendor recipes and librams, but not Darkmoon Faire turnins; show raid token info for ZG and AQ20 but not AQ40.)
- AdSpace settings can new be edited via a new Options panel. Type
/ads (with no arguments) to show it. (Options can still be controlled via chat commands, but they’ve changed a bit: type /ads help for details.)
- Fixed some issues with the tooltip code shared across Fizzwidget addons; AdSpace’s additions to item tooltips should now be showing up in just about every place you can get an item tooltip.
- Added new vendor-sold recipes introduced in WoW patch 1.10.
- Updated TOC to reflect compatibility with WoW patch 1.10. (No actual changes were needed.)
- Minor improvements to utility code shared across Fizzwidget addons.

/link partial-name searches are now properly case-insensitive (this was always supposed to be the case — no pun intended — but some mistakenly placed code had it requiring all-lowercase instead).- We now make sure to only scan inventory once when logging in or zoning. (Previously it was possible for us to end up scanning your inventory repeatedly in such cases; this may have had a noticeable effect on loading time.)
- Using new Blizzard API for standard link color codes. (This should have no visible effect, other than perhaps to make sure we don’t get disconnected for bad color codes if Blizzard changes them in the future.)

- Feed-O-Matic settings can now be edited via a new Options panel. Typing
/fom alone shows this panel (the various configuration subcommands, e.g. /fom alert, etc., are still available), which controls all aspects of Feed-O-Matic’s behavior except for its list of known foods (for now, you’ll still need to use slash commands to edit that).
- Additional options are available for warning you that your pet needs feeding: besides flashing the default UI’s pet happiness icon, Feed-O-Matic can now also alert you via text message or with the sounds of your pet begging for food. (If you don’t like these species-specific pet noises, there’s also an option to have a simple bell sound as reminder.)
- You can now click the default UI’s pet happiness icon to invoke Feed-O-Matic’s feeding function. (This makes three ways to feed your pet with Feed-O-Matic: click the icon, set up a key for Feed Pet in the standard Key Bindings menu, or type or macro
/fom feed.) Right-click the icon to show the new Options panel.
- Fixed a bug where we could bloat the SavedVariables file when attempting to clean it up upon visiting a stable master. (Now we properly discard data from pets no longer in service.)
- Fixed a bug where we’d still keep trying to feed a food to the pet after finding out it’s too low level.

- Due to changes in WoW patch 1.10, it’s no longer possible for UI addons to feed your pet automatically without direct input; the automatic feeding function is thus no longer available in Feed-O-Matic. You may still find Feed-O-Matic quite useful for its ability to automatically choose foods for your pet and feed them at the touch of a button — the “Feed Pet” button (configurable in WoW’s Key Bindings menu) and
/fom feed chat/macro command still work just great.
- As an aid to those suffering auto-feed withdrawal, there’s now an option for Feed-O-Matic to provide an extra reminder when your pet needs feeding (in case you find the icon next to your pet’s health bar too subtle). This is accessed by the same
/fom level command that previously controlled automatic feeding; when your pet’s happiness falls below the specified level, the happiness icon will blink until you feed him enough to sate his hunger.
- Fixed a bug where an error panel could appear when attempting to feed the pet with the
fallback option turned off and the only foods in your inventory being types you’d prefer to avoid.
- KNOWN BUG: The tooltip additions aren’t showing up in all cases where they should. Another update to address this issue should be coming along soon.
