- Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
- Includes partial Korean localization (covering vendor names and locations) by “zeroc00l”. (Other translators are welcome to edit localization.lua and AdSpace_Vendors.lua and email them to gazmik@fizzwidget.com for inclusion in future releases.)
- Fixed a bug that appeared when looking at items sold by Rin’wosho the Trader.
- More locale independence: should correctly look up items from Horde/Alliance vendors if the terms “Horde” and “Alliance” are translated in your version of WoW.
- General improvements to utility code shared with other Fizzwidget addons (GFWUtils, GFWTable, and GFWTooltip).

- Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
- Typing
/rc <item link>
will now output a brief report on the reagents used to craft the item, their estimated costs, the estimated resale value of the crafted item, and the estimated profit/loss if you were to buy all the reagents, make the item, and then auction it.
- General improvements to utility code shared with other Fizzwidget addons (GFWUtils and GFWTable).
NOTE: While Reagent Cost has been updated for WoW patch 1.8, the addons it depends on for price data haven’t (as of this writing), and they most likely need changes in order to function without errors. See their home pages (Auctioneer, KC-Items, or AuctionMatrix) for updates.

- Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
- New Feature: You can pause and resume the queue (and control whether it starts automatically when you add to it), and switch among multiple trade skill windows without losing track of what’s queued up. Unfortunately, there’s no way for us to auotmatically switch to the apporpriate skill when it’s needed in the queue; so, for example, if you’re a miner/smith and queue a bunch of smelting followed by some smithing, we’ll automatically pause the queue when we get done with the smelting and ask you to switch to your Blacksmithing window.
- New Feature: We now account for queued items when calculating what trade skill actions are available. For example, if you’re a miner, you can queue your copper and tin for smelting and then queue Smelt Bronze without waiting for the copper and tin to finish. Also, this means you can’t queue more items than you can make; for example, a leatherworker who queues up enough Heavy Armor Kits to use up all his Heavy Leather won’t be able to queue any Heavy Leather Balls. (At least, not until he gets more leather or unqueues some of the armor kits.)
- New Feature: There’s now a “Buy” button which allows you to purchase vendor-supplied reagents automatically.
- There’s a little background behind all the extra TradeSkillFrame widgets so they don’t look so ugly hanging off the bottom.
- General improvements to utility code shared with other Fizzwidget addons (GFWUtils and GFWTable).

- Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
- Now locale-independent! That is, it should be functional in all WoW languages, though the interface text isn’t translated for all of them.
- Includes German localization by “the r@zor-blade”. (Other translators are welcome to edit localization.lua and email it to gazmik@fizzwidget.com for inclusion in future releases.)
- Typing
/dp <item link>
now returns information for where to get enchanting reagents (the way the tooltip can) in addition to listing what reagents can come from disenchantable items.

- Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
- We now attempt to detect when the pet is failing to gain happiness after being auto-fed, delaying the next auto-feeding by five minutes in such circumstances. This should help with the problem where auto-feeding while in water (a situation we can’t detect directly) would repeatedly feed the pet every couple seconds, consuming much food but not doing anything for the pet. Unfortunately, this may also interfere with normal auto-feeding — our attempts to detect other conditions that prevent feeding sometimes fail, so this may cause auto-feeding to be delayed by five minutes if (for example) we end up trying to auto-feed during combat. I’m looking into solutions for the next relese.
- Fixed a nil error that could appear when sorting food.

- Updated for WoW patch 1.8 and its new beast ability, Lightning Breath. (I’ve tamed every wind serpent in the game on the test server, save for two that are quest spawns and the three in the Sunken Temple. Almost all have the new ability, but you can now use Hunter’s Helper to find out which ones you need to tame to get which ranks.)
- All the information we track is now fully dynamic — if you tame a beast which turns out to have abilities we didn’t already know about, we save this information and reuse it both in the tooltip and for
/hh find
. (Previously we’d save much of this information, but not reuse it as thoroughly.)
- Because of this (and the new SavedVariables mechanism introduced in 1.7), it’s now much easier for me to add newly discovered info to the built-in database. If Hunter’s Helper points out that you’ve found something new (or incorrect) and asks you to mail gazmik@fizzwidget.com, it’d help to attach your World of Warcraft/WTF/Account//SavedVariables/GFW_HuntersHelper.lua file.
- These kind of notifications should only come up once upon taming a beast. (Previously, they’d appear twice in some cases.)
- Fixed some errors in our built-in database: there’s no “Undead Wolf” in Feralas, “Young Stranglethorn Panther” is acutally “Young Panther”, “Ferocious Grizzled Bear” in Silverpine Forest has Claw 2, and the known level ranges for many beasts have been changed to more conservative estimates.
- Our zone connections database now includes Zul’Gurub and Ahn’Qiraj;
/hh find
should now work properly from those locations.

- Updated for WoW patch 1.8.
- If the auto-reporting feature is turned on, we play a sound when your AH scan finishes (for those of us who tend to take a coffee break while Auctioneer works its way through all hundred-odd pages of the AH).

- Forgot to include the GFWTooltip.lua file in today’s earlier 1700.5 release which made use of it. Fixed.

- Fixed a few more nil table errors.
- Introduced a new option
tooltip
, which adds a brief summary of your pet’s opinion to tooltips when looking at food items. Now it’s easy to go through your inventory and sell off any foods your pet has outgrown.
- Added help text for the
quality
option introduced last release.
- Won’t auto-feed if the pet is under a Damage over Time effect (e.g. poison), as DOTs can break the feed effect and make the pet unhappy. (This works by doing pattern-matching on debuff effect descriptions, so if you see auto-feed still happening under a DOT, please let me know which debuff you’re getting and its tooltip description.)

- Fixed some errors in our new tooltip hooking functions that appeared when looting or selling items at the AH.
- Refined a feature introduced in the last version — only tooltips for recipes seen in a vendor window will omit the (obvious) vendor avialability info; tooltips for the same item will still show such info if seen in a different place (e.g. clicked an item link in chat) while the vendor window is open.
