- Accounts for “Mr. Popularity” guild perks when calculating reputation to be gained from item turnins.
- Added option to disable automatic reputation bar switch for guild reputation.
- Revised the way we handle gaining multiple reputations at once (e.g. Argent Tournament quests granting reputation with a city, Sunreavers/Silver Covenant, and guild reputation): we now always prefer the first reputation granted for purposes of switching the reputation watch bar. (Previously, turning in multiple such quests would switch the bar repeatedly.)
- Removed obsolete turnins (Runecloth and AQ signets for racial factions, Morrowgrain, all Argent Dawn and Zandalar Tribe turnins, and Gadgetzan Water Pouch Bounty).
- The reputation bar menu can now be closed with the ESC key.
- Fixes an error that could occur upon right-clicking the reputation bar (if “Guild Reputation” ended up in the recent factions list while using a version of FactionFriend prior to 4.0.3). Special thanks to Eliladrys/Averiy and Nekrossa for helping track this bug down!
- Fixes an issue where standing labels (“Friendly”, “Exalted”, etc) could appear next to items in the reputation bar menu that aren’t factions.

December 17th, 2010
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library with more Cataclysm foods (including a number of fish and meat items edible by pets but not by players).
- Fixes an issue where FOM wouldn’t notice when the pet reached full happiness after feeding (or using Glyph of Mend Pet).

December 17th, 2010
- Now recognizes guild reputation for automatic reputation bar switch and other features.
- Features regarding faction tabards now support new Cataclysm faction and racial faction tabards.
- Fixed automatic reputation bar switch when equipping faction tabards to be better about only doing so when you actually equip a tabard (and not when zoning, logging in, etc).
- Note to localizers: Localization.lua now contains only text displayed in FactionFriend’s UI; text needed for proper functionality (faction and zone names) is now in LocaleSupport.lua. (Also, the content of LocaleSupport.lua is generated from data at Wowhead.com for French, German, Spanish, and Russian, so you should only need to edit this file if you’re providing translations for a locale other than those.)

December 11th, 2010
- Includes an update to the PeriodicTable library:
- now includes most Cataclysm foods.
- removed some foods pets don’t eat.
- added some pre-Cataclysm foods which weren’t included before.
- Fixes an issue where we wouldn’t warn that the pet needs feeding immediately after taming.
- Known issue: we don’t yet have family-specific hungry sounds for the new pet families introduced with patch 4.0.3a (the Shattering) and Cataclysm. Please send email if there’s a sound your new pet makes that you’d like him to make when he’s hungry (and know the WoW-internal filename/path for it).

June 23rd, 2010
Linkerator had already been “on life support” for some time, as it needs some major work to truly realize its functionality on recent versions of WoW. Sadly, I’ve not had time to put in even minor work on it lately, and don’t expect to for some time. And with the release of WoW Patch 3.3.5, it’s more seriously broken.
Sometime “soon” I’ll be releasing a version with slimmed-down functionality that works on the current WoW patch; and sometime further in the future I still plan to bring Linkerator back up to where I think it ought to be, but for now it at least temporarily joins the ranks of the discontinued addons. (See here to download the previous release.)

April 5th, 2010
- Added an option to automatically move factions to Inactive status when the player becomes Exalted with them. This feature is disabled by default; when enabling it in FactionFriend’s options panel, any already-Exalted factions will also be moved. (Inactive status has no effect on game mechanics, but hides the faction in the default Reputation UI and FactionFriend’s menu so you can focus on other factions.)
- Redesigned the menu which appears upon right-clicking the reputation watch bar:
- Current standing with a faction is displayed as right-justified text in the menu item.
- The highlight graphic seen when mousing over a faction in the menu shows the player’s current progress with the faction.
- The option to automatically switch the reputation watch bar when entering zones with associated factions is now off by default, as this confused some users. (It can still be enabled if so desired.)
- Updated reputation values for Sons of Hodir turnins to match changes in WoW Patch 3.3.
- Tweaked color values for reputation levels to be more distinct.
- Fixed an issue where reputation gain messages in chat windows could fail to appear.
- Fixed an issue where faction standing labels (“Revered”, “Exalted”, etc.) wouldn’t always match the player’s gender (in relevant localizations).
