v0.6.3-release

GearDuck

v0.6.3-release (2026-10-07)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Add class, talent, and activity-based starter weights
  GearDuck now provides editable starter weights for each Classic class and major talent tree across Questing, Raid, and PvP. These broad estimates offer a useful starting point, not simulation-derived recommendations. Existing custom weights are preserved.

v0.6.2-release

GearDuck

v0.6.2-release (2026-10-05)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• bump version
• Fix onboarding not showing on new characters
  Resolve the per-character database at PLAYER_LOGIN, when the player name
  is reliably available, instead of only at ADDON_LOADED. Show the
  onboarding window after PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD (with a short delay)
  rather than at PLAYER_LOGIN, when the UI isn't ready. Report errors from
  opening the window in chat instead of failing silently.
• Update .gitignore to include PROJECT_SUMMARY.md and add UISpecialFrames to Lua diagnostics globals

v0.6.1-release

GearDuck

v0.6.1-release (2026-10-05)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Onboarding, per-character settings, tooltip fixes, release workflow
  Added
  • First-login onboarding window, shown once per character: centered,
    Blizzard-style frame with a close button top-right and red
    Back/Next/Skip buttons. Pages: welcome, what Power Level is, how it is
    calculated, how the addon works, stat weights (default/custom radio),
    tooltip profiles (Questing/Raiding/PvP multi-select), upgrade arrows
    (yes/no radio), thank-you.
  • Choices apply immediately and persist when navigating back and forth.
    Switching custom back to default clears the custom marker and restores
    default weights.
  • Closing, skipping, or finishing fills unanswered questions with the
    defaults (default weights, Questing profile, arrows on).
  • If custom weights are selected when onboarding ends, the GearDuck
    options page opens automatically, as with /gd options.
  • /gd setup command to reopen the setup guide.
  • GearDuckOnboarding.lua module (added to .toc) and tests for onboarding,
    per-character data, and item filtering.
    Changed
  • Settings (tooltip profiles, upgrade arrows, hit-cap context) and stat
    weights are now stored per character (name-realm). A character can only
    view and edit its own weights. Item, enchant, and set bonuses remain
    shared. Existing account-wide class weights are not migrated; each
    character starts from the defaults.
  • Release workflow now runs only on pushed tags matching v*-beta or
    v*-release, and fails unless the tagged commit is on main.
  • README updated for the setup guide, /gd setup, and the new file.
    Fixed
  • Hovering an item in the character pane no longer adds GearDuck
    comparison lines (matches the existing no-arrow behavior there).
  • Blizzard's side-by-side equipped-item comparison tooltips no longer show
    GearDuck comparisons; only the hovered item does.
  • Tools (fishing poles, mining picks, skinning knives, etc.) and items
    with no stats (tabards, 12 pound catfish) no longer show tooltip lines
    or upgrade arrows. Items with a manual /gd itembonus are still evaluated.
• Add first-login onboarding and per-character settings
  Added
  • Onboarding window shown the first time each character logs in with
    GearDuck, centered with Blizzard-style frame, close button top-right,
    and red Back/Next/Skip buttons. Pages:
    1. Welcome (Skip Setup / Next)
       2-4. About GearDuck: what Power Level is, how it is calculated, and
       how the addon works
    2. Stat weights: default or custom (radio)
    3. Tooltip profiles: Questing / Raiding / PvP (multi-select)
    4. Upgrade arrows: yes or no (radio)
    5. Thank-you page

  • Extract item evaluation and cache management from the main addon file.
  • Move the options panel and upgrade-indicator integrations into dedicated modules.
  • Keep the main file focused on addon startup, events, tooltip output, and slash commands.
  • Add a standalone Lua regression harness for profile migration, scoring, set bonuses, item eligibility, and cache invalidation.
  • Update the addon load manifest and README with the new module structure and test instructions.
    Tests: npm exec --yes --package=fengari-node-cli -- fengari tests\run.lua
• Fix potential nil access in talent name retrieval and ensure activity profile validity in options panel
• Add upgrade arrow setting and options panel toggle for item upgrades, defaults to on.
• Enhance upgrade indicator functionality and improve item evaluation caching in GearDuck
• Add upgrade indicator feature to item tooltips and update version to 0.4.0-beta
• Update move-folders paths in .pkgmeta for clarity
• Add UIParent to Lua diagnostics globals in settings.json
• Ensure 'main' branch is specified for push events in release workflow
• Fix hit-cap display and tooltip scanning recursion
  Render hit caps through the shared profile edit-box refresh path, falling
  back to defaults for missing values. Ignore the hidden hit tooltip in the
  item post-call handler to prevent recursive evaluation and game freezes.
• Refactor scoring contexts and enhance context settings management; update README and version number
• Enable automitic alpha builds on main merges.
• Move addon files to repo root and fix .pkgmeta
• Add .pkgmeta file for package configuration and folder structure
• Update .gitignore to include environment and secret files; add release workflow
