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

• Fixes an error message when attempting to produce a random emote.
• Updated Korean localization by “kelvin Joe”.
• Added Russian localization by StingerSoft from WoWInterface.com.
• Updated basic locale support for French, German, and Spanish from Wowhead’s databases.
• Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists.

Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library, fixing an issue in which older versions of the library’s datasets would override newer versions… which could cause FOM to ignore certain foods.

• Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library and its food lists:
  • Fixes subcategory/supercategory linkage issues that caused FOM to ignore certain foods (such as Conjured Mana Biscuit and Naaru Ration).
  • Includes all (currently known to Wowhead) new foods from Wrath of the Lich King content.
• Reorganized the Food Preferences panel slightly to account for Wrath of the Lich King foods having more possible cooking products. (Don’t like mammoth? Try cooking it differently!)
• Fixed an error that could occur when FOM chooses the next food to use.
• Fixed an issue where FOM wouldn’t choose a food (and thus feeding would be unavailable) after reloading the UI.
• Fixed an issue where category headers would inconsistently appear grayed out in the Food Preferences list.
• Items that aren’t in the PeriodicTable categories corresponding to the six possible pet diets (i.e. not edible by pets) will no longer show in the Food Preferences list.
• Added more random feeding emotes thanks to the commenters at maniasarcania.com. Feeding emotes can now be made specific to categories of foods (specified by PeriodicTable sets).

• Fixed an bug causing us to ignore diets beyond the first for pets with multiple diets.
• Fixed an error when attempting to play pet hungry sounds.
• Added French random emotes by Laumac from WoWInterface.com.

Bugfix release. For major changes in v. 3.0, see its release notes (further down this page, or here).

• Fixed a bug where clicking foods in the new Food Preferences panel wouldn’t show them as excluded/unchecked.
• When a category is excluded/unchecked in said panel, the foods within it appear grayed out.

• Updated for compatibility with WoW Patch 3.0 and Wrath of the Lich King.
• Rebuilt FOM’s system for choosing foods to feed your pet:
  • Our database of valid pet foods now comes from the PeriodicTable library.
  • Priority order for choosing foods is based (in part) on PeriodicTable sets (conjured, basic, or bonus foods, etc.)
  • There’s now a Food Preferences sub-panel under GFW Feed-O-Matic in the Interface Options window.
    • In it, all valid pet foods your WoW client has seen are listed by category.
    • The order of categories and foods in the list reflects the priority order for choosing foods: those nearer the top of the list will be picked before those below.
    • Individual foods can be unchecked in the list to prevent FOM from feeding them to your pet.
    • Entire categories can also be unchecked, which will prevent FOM from using any food of that category (even ones you haven’t seen yet). By default, only the “Well Fed” foods are disabled, so be sure to visit the list if you want to exclude other foods.
    • The list can be filtered to show only relevant foods for your pet (or for a pet of about your level, if you don’t have a pet summoned at the moment) or only foods you’re currently carrying.
    • If a food can be cooked, the list shows information about each of the the Cooking recipe(s) that use it: whether you know the recipe, its difficulty (i.e. orange, yellow, green or gray in the Cooking window), and the food produced.
    • This list replaces the “avoid bonus foods” and “avoid cooking foods” options in previous releases.
• The “keep bag space open” option from previous releases has been removed: given multiple stacks of the same food, FOM will now always consume the smaller stack first so as to free up bag space more quickly.
• Fixed several issues which caused the “Avoid foods needed for quests” option to fail.
• Added numerous random feeding emotes — thanks to Mania and the creative commenters at http://maniasarcania.com!
• Locale issues:
  • The random text added to feeding emotes (e.g. “Yum!”, “Good boy!”, etc) is now localizable. See the FeedOMatic_Emotes.lua file for details. (Thanks Virshan for a few Spanish.)
  • Added Korean localization by Boddalhee of Deathwing (KR).
  • Added Spanish localization by Javier Melo.
  • Added basic locale support for Russian, and updated basic locale support for French and German, based on Wowhead’s multilingual database. (That is, enough translations for all features to work the same as in English, but no localized UI text.)
    • Translations are missing for the new and renamed beast families (in WoW 3.0 / WotLK), so the family-specific hungry sounds don’t currently work in locales other than English.

• 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.
