June 28th, 2011
New Features & Bug Fixes:
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 4.2.
- Now adds an icon to the builtin UI’s Reputation panel for each faction you can readily increase — mouse over it for details. Didn’t know your bank was full of stuff you could gain reputation from? Now you do!
- Improved item info caching, so tooltips indicating which items can be used to gain reputation should always have the actual item name.
- Altered FactionFriend counts reputation gains which are available up through Exalted standing:
- If your current reputation is below Exalted, we indicate only the number of gains (turnins / item uses / etc) required to raise the reputation into Exalted.
- If your current reputation is Exalted, we indicate the number of gains required to max out at 999/1000.
- (Fixed issue where we’d say you could turn in / use more items than were needed to max out.)
- The tooltip detailing reputation gains (now visible both from the reputation panel and reputation watch bar) now always shows the amount of reputation you’ll have after all applicable gains (instead of only showing such if you have enough to reach a new standing).
- Fixes an error which could appear when we try to draw the reputation watch bar menu.
- Options now default to being shared across all characters; see the Options Profile panel if you’d prefer per-character, per-server, or per-class settings. (This change may not take effect if you already have saved options; choose the Default options profile if you’d prefer this behavior)
Content Updates:
- Potential reputation gains are displayed for Baradin’s Wardens / Hellscream’s Reach Commendations purchasable with Tol Barad currency.
- Some overdue additions regarding Wrath of the Lich King content:
- Icecrown Citadel / Ashen Verdict is now included for zone-based switching of the reputation watch bar.
- Potential reputation gains are displayed for racial faction Commendation Badges and [Champion’s Writ] from the Argent Tournament.
- Potential gains are also displayed for Northrend faction Commendation Badges purchasable via Justice Points.
- Further updates of turnin info to match post-Shattering changes to Classic quests:
- Thorium Brotherhood: removed Fiery Flux quests, changed availability of [Dark Iron Residue] turnin, increased reputation from various turnins
- Zandalar Tribe: no longer associated with Zul’Gurub for zone-based switching of the reputation watch bar.
- Argent Dawn: no longer associated with Plaguelands, Stratholme, or Scholomance for zone-based switching of the reputation watch bar.
Stuff For Localizers & Other Addon Authors:
- Redesigned internals for better locale support: most of FactionFriend’s feature set is now available in all WoW locales. (Now, the only feature that requires explicit localization is zone-based switching of the reputation watch bar. If you’d like to help provide such support for languages other than English, Spanish, German, French, and Russian, see the LocaleSupport.lua file.)
- The API we provide (so that other reputation bar addons can make use of FactionFriend’s features) has been expanded and better documented. See readme-API.txt for details.

- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 4.2.
- WoW Patch 4.2 makes the Interface Options window much bigger — now there’s room for all of Feed-O-Matic’s options (including the food preferences table) on one pane.
- Fixed an issue where the Feed Pet button would show for pets that aren’t hunter-tamed beasts — e.g. quest pets, vehicles, etc.
- The Feed-O-Matic options panel no longer appears if Feed-O-Matic is loaded on a non-hunter character.
- Options now default to being shared across all characters; see the Options Profile panel if you’d prefer per-character, per-server, or per-class settings. (This change may not take effect if you already have saved options; choose the Default options profile if you’d prefer this behavior)

- The reputation bar menu (and submenus) now really makes sure to stay within the dimensions of the screen when it is shown — it won’t go off the top anymore.
- The menu now appears above all other frames, including those created by such addons as TitanPanel.
- Fixes additional cases of an error when displaying the menu.

- Added an option to hide the button Feed-O-Matic adds to the default UI’s pet frame — when the button is hidden, the Feed-O-Matic Feed Pet key binding or macro command
/click FOM_FeedButton
still can be used to feed the pet. (You might find this option useful if using a UI that changes/hides the default pet frame.)
- Feed-O-Matic’s key binding now shows the name of the Feed Pet spell (or whatever it’s called in your WoW localization) instead of “FOM_FEED”.

A recent WoW patch switched the item IDs associated with Thunder Bluff and Undercity tabards; FactionFriend’s information is now updated to match, so the correct reputation will be displayed for these tabards.

- The Feed Pet button (added by Feed-O-Matic to the default UI’s pet frame) now indicates when Feed Pet is unusable or on cooldown.
- Improvements to the tooltip shown when mousing over the Feet Pet button:
- Now shows more information about what food Feed-O-Matic will use next.
- Text in the tooltip is smaller and a bit more terse.
- Tooltip can be hidden entirely via an advanced user preference: type
/fom notooltip
to disable the tooltip (or enable it again).

- Further changes to support WoW Patch 4.1: Since the Pet Happiness icon in the default UI is no more, Feed-O-Matic puts a new button in its former place next to the pet frame. This button supports all the behaviors we previously added to the pet happiness icon — click to feed, right-click for options. In addition, the button shows the icon of the food we’ll next use for feeding the pet (and as before, can be moused over to identify the food by name).
- When no pet is currently summoned, food quality in the Food Preferences options panel is calculated assuming a pet of level equal to the hunter’s (matching a Patch 4.1 change in which pets are always kept at their master’s level).
- Adjusted detail and tooltip text in Feed-O-Matic’s options panel to reflect the elimination of the happiness mechanic and new behavior of Feed Pet.

- WoW Patch 4.1 removes the Pet Happiness mechanic; Feed Pet now works only as a large out-of-combat heal. As such, features related to tracking pet happiness and warning when the pet needs feeding have been removed from Feed-O-Matic (which still works great for simplifying the process of feeding a pet).
- New pet families introduced with Patch 4.0 & Cataclysm are now localized for Spanish, German, French, and Russian. (Localized pet family names are used for providing pet-specific feeding emotes; see FeedOMatic_Emotes.lua.)

- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library fixing an issue where recently added foods were’t actually showing up.
- Some of the options in Feed-O-Matic’s options panel now provide detailed explanations in tooltips.
- Improvements to the list in Food Preferences (under Feed-O-Matic’s options panel):
- The color of a food’s name now reflects its quality (how quickly it restores your pet’s happiness).
- Foods of the same quality are sorted by name.
- When no pet is currently summoned, food quality is calculated assuming a pet of three levels below yours (previously we assumed five; this matches a change from patch 4.0 in which pets are always kept within three levels of their masters).
