What's coming in the next release Next release

Not released yet, so it has no version number or date. Everything here is written and waiting; v0.3.0 doesn't have it. On Features, Commands and Settings these parts are marked Next release.

New

• Setup wizard: The first time you log in on an account, a short setup helps you pick a layout (Damage and tanking, Healing, or Like the game's), your screen size, your colors, and where things go. Open it again any time with /fui setup.
• Quests: ForeverUI's own quest dialog, quest tracker and quest log. Pick lines and rewards with the number keys, and press Space to accept, continue or complete.
• Quests: Quest helpers that can accept quests, turn in finished ones and skip the chatter. Each is off until you switch it on, and holding Shift skips them.
• Click casting: Set up click casting without typing: pick spells from your spellbook on a grid of mouse buttons and modifier keys, add hover keys, start from a layout for your class, and share or copy your bindings.
• Click casting: A switch (off until you turn it on) to use the game's own click casting bindings on ForeverUI's frames instead.
• Groups & raids: Boss frames, and a raid tools bar for leaders and assistants: ready check, pull timer, role check, target icons and world markers.
• Groups & raids: Main tank frames that show what each tank is targeting, and small frames for your party's pets and targets (off until you switch them on).
• Fight history: Your damage per second and your place in each fight this session, as a row of bars under the damage meter. Off until you switch it on.
• Vendor memory: ForeverUI remembers what merchants sell, so item tooltips can say who sells an item and where. /fui stock says where to buy what you keep stocked.
• Instance prep: At a dungeon or raid door, or on a ready check, a card lists what you're short of: ammo, soul shards, reagents, food and drink, bandages, potions, repairs and your stocked items.
• Chat watch: Pick words to watch for in chat (for example LFM). When someone says one, you hear a sound and see a note; click it to whisper them.
• Situations: Record a different layout and settings for solo, party, raid, PvP, instances or resting. They switch on their own, out of combat, as you move between them.
• Auction helper: A panel beside the auction house: shopping lists, a sell card that suggests a price just under the cheapest, prices from your scans in item tooltips, and a check for auctions of yours that someone undercut. It only posts or cancels when you click.
• Your buffs: Your buffs and debuffs in ForeverUI's look next to the minimap, with weapon enchants in front. Right-click a buff to cancel it.
• Info strip: A strip under the minimap with durability, free bag slots, frame rate and latency, gold, ammo or soul shards and the time, plus XP and gold per hour while you level and, if you like, your damage per second.
• Errands: Train all at a trainer in one click, keep items stocked from merchants, and a timer for each flight.
• At merchants: Repair with your own gold, sell gray items, and fewer repeated error messages.
• Combat aids: A swing timer, sparks on your power bar for the five-second rule and energy ticks, your threat on your target, and your pet's happiness.
• Class extras: Totem timers for shamans (right-click to destroy a totem) and a mana bar for druids in forms, under the player frame.
• Nameplates: Levels in difficulty colors, and a gold mark on units your quests need.
• Chat and minimap: Clickable web links in chat, a Copy button for recent chat, other addons' minimap buttons gathered in a drawer, and optional auto-accept for summons and resurrections (and auto-decline for duels).
• Comfort: Quality colors on bag items, the bank in ForeverUI's look, durability on the character pane, and how many you own and what an item sells for in its tooltip.
• Bags: A Sort button, and the combined bag grouped into sections such as Quest items, Equipment and Junk.
• Away screen: While you're away, the screen dims to a card with your character, zone, time away and XP.
• Faction look: A crest and a heading font for your faction: crossed swords for the Alliance, crossed axes for the Horde.
• Game windows: The game's windows, popups, quest tracker, loss of control alert, talking head, Cooldown Manager and damage meter in ForeverUI's look.
• Moving frames: Every movable frame has its own size and opacity, and bars and strips can show always, on mouseover, in combat, or not at all.
• Key bindings: Keybind mode: type /fui keybind, hover an action button and press a key.
• Other addons: Fonts and bar textures shared by other addons show in ForeverUI's pickers, and Masque can skin ForeverUI's buttons.
• Alerts: An optional alert when a rare is nearby, and restyled Hardcore death notices.

Improved

• Raid and party frames: Easier to read: softer class colors, outlined names, a shield for tanks and a cross for healers, and a set place for each mark so nothing overlaps.
• Raid and party frames: They start just above your player frame, big raids are drawn smaller so they fit, and groups can be laid out as rows.
• Action bars: Empty slots stay hidden until you drag something, each bar has its own number of buttons, buttons per row and size, and bar 1 is the top row.
• Layout: One centered layout that holds together at any UI scale, with sizes chosen for 1080p screens.
• Text: Text size changes at once, chat has its own text size, and tooltips use ForeverUI's font.
• Options: A dot marks each setting you changed (click it to put the default back), every part has a plain description, profiles are managed in the window, search jumps to the setting, and the keyboard and mouse wheel move around the window.
• A calmer screen: Frames in the middle of the screen drop their sheen and shadow (a switch brings the shadow back), with a new Soft bar texture.
• Menu and bags: The game's menu and bag buttons sit together in one bar in the corner, with ForeverUI icons.
• Game menu: A ForeverUI button at the top of the game menu (Escape).
• Profiles: Choosing a profile takes effect at your next reload, a whole profile string can bring its UI scale along, and a profile remembers its Edit Mode layout.
• Edit Mode: The game's Edit Mode shows ForeverUI's frame handles too, so you can move everything in one place.
• Nameplates: Your target gets a small diamond and an accent border.
• Quests: Long quest text and long quest lists scroll with the mouse wheel.
• Performance: Less work in big raids and with many nameplates on screen, and /fui perf to see what ForeverUI costs.
• Bug reports: /fui errors lists what went wrong this session, and a red number on the addons button shows when something did.

Fixed

• Reloading: The Reload buttons now work on WoW Forever.
• Loading: ForeverUI no longer shows as out of date on WoW Forever, and a problem in one part no longer stops the rest.
• Old game builds: /fui status warns when your WoW Forever build is too old to keep addon settings.
• Hover keys: When the game can't run the code hover keys need, bar 1 paging and the raid frames keep working, and hover keys now work with Shift or Ctrl held.
• Raid frames: Names are no longer hidden under incoming heals, no error when the game hides health, and no false missing-buff warnings in instances (any paladin blessing counts).
• Unit frames: Your level updates when you level up, and frame shadows sit evenly.
• Game windows: No more errors when mail arrives or when you open Edit Mode, and quest and gossip text is easy to read.
• Action bars: Tooltips, self-cast and focus-cast work on every button, and hidden empty slots no longer block clicks.
• Conversations: Hiding the interface with Alt-Z no longer ends a conversation with an NPC.
• Saved settings: A damaged entry in your saved settings no longer stops ForeverUI loading, and a bad frame spot in an imported profile no longer loses the unit frames.
• Freezes and errors: Unlocking with a grid size of 0 no longer freezes the game, and there's no longer an error at every login, when pressing the minus key in click casting, from /fui stock with Errands off, or on the Healing options page with raid heals off.
• Cast bars and swing timer: Channeled spells empty instead of filling, an interrupted channel no longer flashes as finished, and the swing timer starts over after a weapon swap.
• Bars and counts: Shift+number bar paging works in a stance, form or stealth, and item and reagent counts show on action buttons on WoW Forever.
• Groups: A quick second ready check keeps its answers, and group changes during a fight no longer pile up work for the end of it.
• Boss levels: A “??” boss level shows in red instead of gray.
• Russian: Russian headings use a font with Cyrillic letters.
