Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Data refresh: Season 2 only
  Regenerated after pruning talent_builds of content that had left the rotation —
  last season's raid, which WCL still reports as current-expansion and unfrozen,
  and the outgoing M+ dungeons, which the upsert-only write path had never
  removed. 1,120 rows over 18 retired encounters went; 1,040 over 17 remain.
  Payload is now exactly the season: 9 Venomous Abyss bosses, 8 S2 dungeons,
  40 specs, 332 raid slots, 320 M+ slots.
  The diff is small — twelve entries — because most retired encounters had no
  emittable winner and were never reaching the payload anyway. The stale content
  was real but minor; what actually made the addon look un-updated was the
  missing icons in the previous commit.
• Season 2 encounter art, and stop a missing icon being an empty box
  The addon looked un-updated for Season 2. It was not: BuildData.lua had all
  nine Venomous Abyss bosses with good sample counts. What it did not have was
  ART. Encounter icons are bundled per encounter id, all eighteen of them dated
  June, all pre-S2 — so every S2 boss drew an empty square, and the only tiles
  with a picture were the stale Season 1 entries that still had one. That is the
  whole illusion: S2 data wearing S1 icons.
  Adds the seventeen missing icons — nine Venomous Abyss bosses and eight S2
  dungeons — pulled from the same Warcraft Logs CDN the website already renders
  from, keyed by the same WCL encounter id the payload uses, converted to the
  56x56 PNG the existing files use. Three of the dungeons 403 on their zone id
  and needed the site's BOSS_ICON_ID mapping to resolve.
  ⚠️ AND A MISSING ICON MUST NOT BE INVISIBLE. Art is bundled per encounter, so
  the first week of EVERY new tier has data with no picture, and an empty box
  reads as "the addon is broken" rather than "art pending" — which is exactly how
  this was reported. Encounter tiles now fall back to the boss's initials.
  LAYERED, NOT DETECTED. WoW does not reliably report that a texture path failed
  to resolve — a bad path draws nothing and still reads back as set — so the
  fallback sits UNDERNEATH and the real icon covers it when it loads. Bundled
  icons are opaque RGB, so a present icon hides it completely and nothing changes
  for content that has art.
  Initials drop a leading article, because otherwise The Twin Fangs, The Coiled
  Altar and The Lost Explorers all lead with T. Verified across all seventeen S2
  names: every one distinct.
