/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.)
- Minor improvements to utility code shared across Fizzwidget addons.

I thought something was strange, my little green friend. The other night, I went from Menethil Harbor to Menethil Harbor and the loading screen never disappeared!
Thank you for the update!

Hi!
Love the low footprint approach.
But, typing out every items name to its full lenght can be irritating.
Could you possible port the very nice autocompleter from LootLinkEnhanced (http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2088) to this mod? Should not be that much work (done it on my local copy, but looks ugly (methinks, at least I guess you could come up with something cleaner ;-)), seeing that they used your own LinkifyName and ChatParse functions and just slightly modified them. Note: Its down at the bottom of the 5600 line file, so you don’t have to look forever 😉

Any chance on adding item sell price to links?

Gnarfoz: Hm… I looked at LootLinkEnhanced’s autocomplete code and I’m not too wild about it. I’d already been considering rolling my own, though, so we’ll see if I can’t get it in for the next release.
Zoljin: Linkerator is designed to be especially lightweight; it has one purpose (associating item names with item links) and aims to do it efficiently. Item sell prices are sort of outside this domain, but there are numerous addons out there that provide this feature. (Personally, I’m an Auctioneer/Informant nut, but searching WoWInterface et al will probably also find you several that are lighter-weight if sell prices is all you’re looking for.)
