v1.6.0

v1.6.0 (2026-10-13)

• Blocking a player by hand now also hides their guild, officer and community chat in your chat windows. Their messages still show in the guild and Communities window.
• Guild Discord chat from a blocked player stays visible unless you turn on "Hide players you blocked in guild Discord chat" in Config > Blocked. It is off by default and only appears on clients that have guild Discord chat.
• History labels these rows Guild, Officer and Guild (Discord). Community rows show the community's name, or Community when the name is not available. The stats line now counts Guild.
• The block confirmation on the guild and community roster now says which chats are hidden and which still show.
• Updated for patch 12.1.5.

v1.5.1

v1.5.1 (2026-10-07)

• Removed the developer section from Config and the /bdev commands. They were meant for testing Sift.
• Reset Settings now sits in the UI section of Config.

v1.5.0

v1.5.0 (2026-10-05)

• Reworded the Config and History tooltips, help text and navigation hints in plainer English, and the History stats line label now reads OTHER.
• The keyword detail line in History shows only the phrase you typed.
• Reworded the "Always allow" and "Restore + Always allow" tooltips, and the empty Allowlist message and the /sift rebuildstats message. The Report entry in the History row menu now uses the same label as the detail pane.
• The "Filtering by" sender chip in History now has its own row instead of covering the column header and the first row.

v1.4.1

v1.4.1 (2026-09-29)

• Sift supports WoW Forever, alongside Retail, Classic Era, Anniversary and MoP Classic.
• Upgrading from BawrSpam now brings your allowlist, blocked list, settings and History across to Sift. Anything you already changed in Sift stays as it is, and players you blocked by hand stay marked as blocked by you.
• A small "Sift (legacy data)" entry now appears in your addon list. It runs no code and only holds your old BawrSpam saves so Sift can bring them across.
• Added "Block (Sift)" to the guild and community roster right-click menus, with a confirmation before it blocks.
• Right-clicking the name of someone you just blocked in chat now shows them as blocked, instead of showing Block as unavailable.
• Config > Blocked now marks the players Sift blocked on its own, and long names are shortened so they no longer run under the Remove button.
• Added hover tooltips across the History window, and reworded the Config and History tooltips in plainer language.
• Tidied the History and Config layout: column headers and buttons size to their own text, the category filter chips wrap to a second row, the window shrinks to fit the Config tab and returns to full size for History, and the Config status line is larger.
• Pressing Enter in Add from History now adds the name.
• The Report action in History now works. It opens the game's report window with the sender and chat line already filled in.
• On WoW Forever, Sift now shows players by first name and surname, and Add from History and /sift allow accept the full name.
• Updated the bundled Foundry-1.0 library to v1.0.106.

v1.3.1

v1.3.1 (2026-08-14)

• Updated for patch 12.1. BawrSpam is flagged compatible with the current retail client again, so it loads and shows as up to date.

v1.1.2

v1.1.2 (2026-05-26)

• ConfigPanel modernized to native Blizzard UI: sliders, checkboxes, and import / export dialogs now use Blizzard's own widgets. AceGUI is no longer required.
• HistoryPanel size is now fixed at 940 x 560 with a locked list / detail split, so every section renders predictably regardless of monitor size.
• Fix: opening BawrSpam Config from Blizzard's Settings panel no longer prints a UI-blocked warning.
• Fix: switching to the Config tab no longer leaves the list / detail divider drawn across the configuration area.
• Fix: lifetime stat rows in the History detail pane render correctly without the trailing entry clipping into the divider.
