Helps a Hunter keep his pets well fed (and the food in his inventory under control).

• Fixed an issue where some checkboxes in the options UI weren’t having an effect.
• Fixed an issue with the Save for Cooking setting not being applied properly.
• Added several new foods from recent patches to the default list.

• Updated for compatibility with WoW Patch 2.4.
• Configuration controls are moved into a pane in the new Interface Options panel provided by the default UI. Key binding moved back into the default UI’s Key Bindings panel.
• The option to avoid foods used in Cooking recipes you don’t know yet is now independent of that for which level of known recipes to avoid foods from.

• Added new foods introduced in WoW Patch 2.3.
• Fixed an issue with setting key bindings that include modifier keys.
• Added “Unbind Key” buttons to the Options window for removing FOM’s key bindings.
• The diet argument to the /fom remove command is now optional; if omitted, the specified food will be removed from any and all diets it’s listed in. (e.g. /fom remove [Delicious Chocolate Cake] is now the same as /fom remove bread [Delicious Chocolate Cake].)

• Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 2.3.
• Fixed an issue where FOM would report being unable to find your Feed Pet spell upon login; we now wait until the spellbook is more likely to have been loaded by the game before checking.

Added a workaround for a sound bug in WoW Patch 2.2; “hungry” sounds should be working again.

• Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 2.2.
• Fixed an off-by-one error in calculating which foods are edible by the current pet and which provide the most happiness.
• Added a few foods introduced in the Burning Crusade and Patch 2.1 to the default list.

• Fixed an issue where FOM would mistakenly indicate that no food is in your bags upon zoning, logging in, dismounting, etc.
• Typing /fom debug will toggle the display of additional info in the tooltip when mousing over the pet happiness icon, showing the list of the next several foods FOM will attempt to use. Check this if FOM is using foods you don’t expect it to (or failing to find foods you do).
• Fixed an error when pressing the Feed Pet keybinding while your pet is dead or dismissed.
• We no longer show a chat window message or emote if feeding was unsuccessful (e.g. if the pet is out of range).
• [Underspore Pod] is now treated as an exception to the “foods with bonus effects” rule, since it’s easy to summon more. (Yeah, it’s kinda hackish. A better UI for customizing food preferences is coming in a future update.)
• Added Traditional Chinese localization.
• Uses a simpler, more reliable means of hooking item tooltips.
• Added support for the Ace AddonLoader — when that addon is present, Feed-O-Matic will only load for Hunter characters.

• Updated TOC for WoW Patch 2.1.
• Added family-specific “hungry” sounds for the new pet species introduced in the Burning Crusade.

• Fixed an error that would occur when the keyring is updated. (There’s no food there, anyway.)
• Fixed some issues with hooking tooltips when other tooltip-modifying addons are present.
• Added [Underspore Pod] (fungus) to the food list.

• Fixed several bugs in the food-choosing algorithm which tended to result in Feed-O-Matic choosing items you’ve told it to avoid.
• Eliminated the “fall back to otherwise-avoided foods if nothing else available” preference. Instead, there’s now an error message if you press the feed button when the only foods available are items you’ve told Feed-O-Matic to avoid. Hold Alt while pressing your Feed Pet keybinding (or Alt-left-click the happiness icon) to feed one of these items anyway.
• Mousing over the pet happiness icon now shows the next food to be used.
• We now keep a list of all foods known to be used in Cooking; the “Save foods used in Cooking recipes” option now has an additional setting for foods used in recipes your character hasn’t yet learned.
• You can now set two different key bindings for each action in Feed-O-Matic’s Options panel.
• Cut down on CPU usage a bit — if an inventory update affects only your quiver / ammo pouch, we’ll assume that nothing related to pet foods has changed.
• Reorganized the Options panel and reworded some options for better clarity.
• Fixed a bug that kept the /fom add and /fom remove commands from working properly.
• Removed chat commands for configuation settings which are present in the Options panel.
• Added [Conjured Croissant] to the built-in foods list.

• Simplified code for adding text to item tooltips thanks to new API in WoW 2.0.3 — this should fix issues with the same info being added to a tooltip multiple times or sometimes being missing, as well as allow us to work with more third-party addons that show item tooltips.

• Updated for compatibility with WoW Patch 2.0.3 and the Burning Crusade release.
• Added a number of foods to the built-in list (thanks to Griffon Silvertongue).

Fixed error (introduced in 2.0.1) when mousing over items.

Fixed possible blocked action errors in tooltip-hooking code.

• Redesigned to use new secure action functionality in WoW 2.0 (and the Burning Crusade Closed Beta):
  • Feed-O-Matic now maintains a special action button for feeding your pet a specific item from your bags. Whenever your inventory changes, Feed-O-Matic will (if necessary) choose an appropriate food for your pet’s next feeding and set up the button to use it.
  • To use this action button, click the pet happiness icon or bind a key…
  • Due to limitations in WoW 2.0’s key binding interface, key bindings for Feed-O-Matic are found in its own Options window instead of the normal Key Bindings window. To show Feed-O-Matic’s options window, type /fom or right-click the pet happiness icon.
  • It’s no longer possible to feed your pet from a custom chat command, so /fom feed has been removed. (It is possible to feed your pet in a macro, but this requires a static choice of foods: e.g. /cast Feed Pet /use Roasted Quail.)
  • The pet happiness icon will darken if Feed-O-Matic can’t find any appropriate food. Mousing over the buttons shows why we can’t find food for your pet (either there’s nothing in your inventory your pet will eat, or you’ve configured Feed-O-Matic to avoid certain foods and those are the only ones left).
• We now automatically detect whether a food provides a bonus effect when eaten by players (e.g. a Stamina buff in addition to the health gained), instead of needing to be told which foods fall into this category. If you find that Feed-O-Matic fails to detect such a food, please let us know!
• Added many foods from Burning Crusade content to the default list. If you find more, please let us know!
• NOTE: The new tameable beast families don’t yet have specific sounds for when they’re hungry, so they’ll just play a bell sound instead. (If you’d like to help pick some, please contact us with the paths of sound files in the WoW MPQs that you think would be appropriate: e.g. “Sound\Creature\OWl\OwlPreAggro.wav”.)
