Updating from 0.6

EldoUI 0.7.0000 changes how layouts, roles and saved settings fit together. Your setup carries over as it is: nothing is reset, nothing moves on its own, and a copy of everything is kept before the update touches it. This page shows what happens at your first login, what was renamed, and where things moved.

Install the new version as usual (see Updating), then log in.

Your first login

1. Before the update changes a profile, a journal or another saved part, EldoUI keeps a copy of it as it was.
2. Every profile is brought forward without removing anything. Settings you never changed keep the value you saw, even where the default changed. Your active profile is updated at once, the others a few seconds later.
3. One chat line tells you what happened.

/eui data opens the new Saved data page: it lists the copies, puts one back with Restore, and undoes a restore with one click. A saved value EldoUI can't read is set aside there instead of deleted. See Saved data.

Layouts

The layout list is now the ten layouts on the Layouts and presets page. Your profile stays on the layout it used, and your dragged frames stay where you put them.

Renamed layouts

Nine of the ten keep their place in the list under a clearer name. They keep their key, so /eui layout still finds them by the old name too.

In 0.6	Now	Key
Eldo-Vanilla	Vanilla Original	EldoVanilla
Eldo-Modern	Modern Center	EldoModern
Eldo-Blizz	Blizzard Bottom Block	EldoBlizz
Eldo-Heritage	Portrait Staggered	EldoHeritage
Eldo-Zen	Compact HUD	EldoZen
Eldo-Wide	Widescreen Edges	EldoWide
Eldo-Cozy	Close Combat	EldoCozy
Eldo-Hunter	Open Center	EldoHunter
Eldo-Plates	Nameplate Focus	EldoPlates

EldoUI Center (EldoCenter) is new, and it is the default for new profiles. A profile that used the old default, Modern Center, keeps it.

Legacy layouts

These layouts left the list. Each one stays in EldoUI as a legacy layout, exactly as it was, so a profile on it keeps its screen until you pick another layout.

Legacy layout	Nearest layout
Eldo-Classic	Blizzard Bottom Block
Eldo-Clean	EldoUI Center
Eldo-Syntax	EldoUI Center
Eldo-Violet	EldoUI Center
Eldo-Joe	Modern Center
Eldo-Cookies	Portrait Staggered
Eldo-Compact	Compact HUD
Eldo-Zerby	Compact HUD
Eldo-Dark	Close Combat
Eldo-Vanilla Compact	Vanilla Original
Eldo-Vanilla Focus	Vanilla Original

• The layout picker shows a legacy layout under Legacy in use while one of your profiles uses it, with its nearest layout, for example "Legacy: Eldo-Cookies (nearest: Portrait Staggered)". /eui layout <name> still applies one by its old name.
• If you had dragged frames on a legacy layout, EldoUI also keeps a copy of your screen, the legacy layout with your dragged positions, under My layouts as "name (my copy)". You can go back to it even after you pick one of the ten.
• To move on, pick the nearest layout (or any other) in the picker. Frames you dragged stay where you put them, unless you tick Put frames I dragged back in the layout's spots, and /eui layout undo puts the change back.

A profile that names a layout that is not installed says so once, places the frames by the default layout, and keeps your saved choice, so the layout comes back when it is installed again.

Roles

The Damage role is now two roles, Melee and Ranged, next to Healer and Tank. A profile on Damage moves to your class's damage role by itself, and every frame stays where it was:

Class	Becomes
Warrior, Rogue, Paladin, Shaman, Druid	Melee
Hunter, Mage, Warlock, Priest	Ranged

An Elemental Shaman or a Balance Druid can pick Ranged on the Role page; Ranged adds the five-second rule to the mana bar. See Roles.

What else moved or changed

• Unit and party frames: the style with the boxed 3D portrait and name bar is now called Boxed. Your pick stays.
• Micro menu and bag bar: a micro menu or bag bar you moved stays where you put it.
• Keys and spells: the setup has a new Keys and spells step. It changes nothing on your bars until you press its own Apply.
• Action bars: WoW: Forever has no extra action button, so its options and its key in keybind mode are gone. The zone ability keeps its own options and box in move mode.
• Paladin: the blessing reminder, the Blessing Plan and the ready check report count only the blessings that share the blessing slot on WoW: Forever. Salvation no longer counts as one, and Blessing of Sanctuary and Sanctity Aura are gone.
• Shaman: the totems and Earth Shield that WoW: Forever removed are gone from the pickers; a saved pick of one goes back to the first one you know.
• Journal: your journal carries over as it is, and its scheduled backups carry on. The first time your runs are read, the runs the instance log still has are copied into the journal with who was in them. See Journal.
• Language: EldoUI's own texts can now be shown in Danish, under General > EldoUI language.

If something looks wrong

• Type /eui data, find the part under Copies from before an update, click Restore, then /reload. The part stays as you put it back until you choose Let go.
• /eui layout undo puts back the last layout or pack change.
• /eui resetlayout puts every frame back to its layout position.
