Breaking changes[]

New functionality[]

  • Pet battles
  • Black market auction house
  • Class specializations
  • Challenge modes
  • Upgrading items
  • GetInstanceInfo - Now returns a MapID as its 8th result, allowing addons to identify the current instance/continent without relying on localized names.

Macros[]

  • New macro conditionals:
[petbattle]
True when the player is participating in a pet battle.
[possessbar]
[overridebar]
[extrabar]

Talents[]

  • CHANGED GetTalentInfo - Returns information about talents for player/pet/inspected unit/arbitrary classes.
  • NEW GetMaxTalentTier - Returns maximum level-appropriate talent tier.
  • NEW GetTalentRowSelectionInfo - Returns whether a talent is not selected in a given tier, and the selected talent's ID.
  • NEW LearnTalents - Learns specified talents.
  • NEW GetTalentClearInfo - Returns information about the cost of unlearning a single talent.
  • NEW RemoveTalent - Unlearns a single talent.

Unsorted[]

Widget API[]

  • NEW Frame:RegisterUnitEvent("event", "unit1"[, "unit2"]) - Triggers the widget's OnEvent handler when the specified event occurs for the specified units.
  • NEW Button:SetEnabled(enable) - Enables or disables the widget (available for any widget with Enable/Disable methods).
  • NEW Region:SetShown(show) - Shows or hides the widget (available for any widget with Show/Hide methods).

FrameXML[]

  • UIPanelButtonTemplate2 is renamed to UIPanelButtonTemplate; the old version of which is removed.
  • The minimap buttons MiniMapLFGFrame and MiniMapBattlefieldFrame is renamed/merged to QueueStatusMinimapButton.
  • ShapeshiftBarFrame is removed; druid shapeshifting UI is now handled by the StanceBarFrame.

Observed bugs and notable differences[]

  • UnitIsGroupAssistant - the new version of UnitIsRaidOfficer returns false if the player is leader. The old function returned true.
  • UnitInRange - when not in a party/raid, the new version of UnitInRange returns false for "player" and "pet". The old function returned true.
  • Texture:SetTexture - If the path passed into Texture:SetTexture(path) is invalid, the texture will display as solid green.
  • Texture:GetTexture - If the path passed into Texture:SetTexture(path) is invalid, Texture:GetTexture() will still return whatever was passed in. Previously, it would return nil if the texture path was invalid. It seems that it is no longer possible to determine if a texture is valid or not (useful for validating user input).
  • UnitGUID - requesting the GUID of another party member (possibly raid too - not tested) while responding to the new GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE event during initial UI load while you are already in a group returns nil. This was not previously the case with the old PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED and RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE events.
  • COMBAT_LOG_EVENT / ENVIRONMENTAL_DAMAGE - the environmental type reported from this event is now reporting non-localized proper case strings (e.g. "Falling") instead of non-localized capitalized strings (e.g. "FALLING").
