v8.0.4

Changes

docs/CHANGES.md is the canonical changelog summary for BLU.

Current Development Release

v8.0.4 - 2026-08-13

• Fixed repeated UNIT_AURA errors on Midnight when updateInfo.addedAuras is secret. BLU no longer reads the raw aura event payload: generic proc handling comes from RGXCombat, while Lust/Heroism detection queries player aura state through RGXAuras and edge-detects gains.
• Requires RGX-Framework v2.5.1 or later.

v8.0.3 - 2026-07-03

• New combat trigger: Lust / Heroism Sound. Plays a dedicated sound (configurable in the Combat tab, separate from the generic proc trigger) when Bloodlust, Heroism, Time Warp, Ancient Hysteria, or Primal Rage lands on you — matched by spell ID via the UNIT_AURA event's updateInfo.addedAuras payload, not name (locale-independent).

v8.0.2 - 2026-07-03

• Fixed LUA_WARNING: Error loading core/sounds/user_sounds_generated.lua — the file was gitignored and never shipped in any package, so every player hit this on login.
• Fixed the Channel Volume slider not reliably restoring its visual position and looking inconsistent with the rest of the options UI — migrated to RGX-Framework's UI:CreateSlider.
• Fixed nested-dropdown Play buttons not flipping to Stop on the first click (playback was correct; only the label lagged).
• Migrated external-sound discovery to the shared RGXSharedMedia framework module. core/sounds/sharedmedia.lua is now a ~217-line bridge that imports the framework's scan results into BLU.SoundRegistry and re-exports the public bridge API, with dedup-on-import so the shared registry can scan every addon folder (including BLU's own) without duplicating entries. Removes ~640 lines of duplicated local scanning.

v8.0.0 - 2026-06-30

• Stable BLU v8 release for WoW Retail 12.0.7.
• Ships the RGX-Framework migration for events, timers, hooks, slash commands, database/profiles, dropdowns, and combat-safe runtime paths.
• Keeps the v8 launch Combat tab focused on Combat Start, Combat End, and Combat Music.
• Fixes user custom sound discovery, fuzzy custom sound matching, User Custom Sounds table display, and combat music playback routing.

v8.0.0-alpha.2 - 2026-06-28

• User custom sound manifests now resolve through the same filename/path resolver as /blu addcustom.
• Short custom filenames in BLU\\media and BLU\\media\\sounds now register correctly in the combat picker.
• Profile-stored custom sound entries are normalized through the same resolver on refresh.

• v8.0.0-alpha.2 changelog

v8.0.0-alpha.1 - 2026-06-11

• Framework Migration — Stages 1-5 complete. BLU now delegates events, timers, hooks, slash commands, and database to RGX-Framework.
• Database proxy stabilization: fixed __newindex/__index metamethod guards so internal fields (_guard, _raw, _defaults, _callbacks, _onSwitch) never leak into profile SavedVars.
• BLU.db proxy must never be overwritten — removed BLU.db = profile from onProfileSwitch.
• Fixed MergeDefaults → MergeTable, Database:InitializeDatabase() → Database:Init(), BLU.db.currentProfile → BLU.db:GetActiveProfile().
• ResetProfile("Default") now works — removed incorrect PROTECTED_PROFILE block from Reset.
• Dead code purge: removed ResetAdvancedSettings, RebuildDatabase, GetDB/SetDB shims, shadowed ShowExportDialog/ShowImportDialog/ShowCharacterCopyDialog, broken ExportSettings/ImportSettings (iterated proxy methods, not data), triple PlayTestSound definitions, shadowed CreateHousingPanel, empty housing.lua.
• All 16 direct _G.BLUDB references in profiles.lua now route through GetRawDB() helper.
• RGX.Addon() bootstrap passes opts.onSwitch through to NewDatabase.
• Version string in core/core.lua synced to v8.0.0-alpha.1.
• Combat panel stripped to 3 launch-ready triggers (Combat Start / Combat End / Combat Music); removed 11 placeholder triggers and paging UI.
• Quest debug-mode handlers guarded against nil/invalid quest IDs (was crashing on QUEST_ACCEPTED/QUEST_TURNED_IN).
