v0.7.1

Good Range

v0.7.1 (2026-10-16)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Melee: a target that ran up to you reads the middle of the closest step
  Its run in is too short to time, so the number stayed on wherever the estimate
  got to: 0 one time, 5 the next, for the same spot. With nothing to say where
  in the step it stands, it now shows the middle (2 on a 5 yd step).
• Melee: a target that stopped next to you no longer drifts the number
  Once a target has stopped inside the smallest range step, its own steps
  around you (a mob shuffling in melee) no longer move the estimate between
  0 and that step; only your movement or a new bracket does.

v0.7.0

Good Range

v0.7.0 (2026-10-15)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• TOC: Retail 12.1.5 (interface 120105)
• Friendly players you can't heal or buff: shown in grey
  They used to get no display at all. Now the distance shows, grey all the
  way with a FRIENDLY badge: green and blue stay for ranges you can act
  from. Friendly NPCs are still skipped.
• Focus label: rounded corners, over the focus's nameplate
  The focus label is drawn from a small rounded-rectangle texture (nine
  slices, so the corners keep their shape at any scale). With Nameplate
  attach on it hangs over the focus's nameplate with the same offsets, or
  just above the display when the focus is also the target.
  While the settings are open, a target the display is not shown for (a
  friendly NPC, a friendly player you can't heal or buff, or one the Show
  options skip) no longer pulls the sample onto its nameplate; the hint says
  why it won't show.
• Focus target: a small label with the distance to your focus
  Off by default; Settings > Focus target turns it on and sizes it (Scale).
  One look whatever the display: a rectangle in the zone colour with the
  whole-yard distance. It has its own spot, dragged while the settings are
  open, and Reset Defaults puts it back. The focus has its own bracket,
  estimate and zones (it can be a friend while the target is an enemy);
  range checks double only while a focus is followed.

v0.6.0

Good Range

v0.6.0 (2026-10-13)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Store text: four looks, on your target's nameplate
• A fourth look, Label: the badge alone; the old Label is now Label + Number
  Settings sections get more room between them.
• Settings: two columns, Nameplate attach section, Reset Defaults, Share with a friend
  • Badge size is now Label size.
  • Nameplate attach: its own section, the toggle and the X / Y offsets one under another.
  • Reset Defaults (asks first) puts back position, sizes and font; look and show options stay.
  • Share with a friend: the CurseForge link in a box, Copy selects it for Ctrl/Cmd+C, Whisper asks
    for a name (the friendly target's to start with) and writes the whisper out in the chat box.
  • The window is two columns wide so all of it fits on screen.
• Drag: make the frame movable again before each drag, and never raise an error
  Retail 12.x handed the display back 'not movable' (after it had hung on a nameplate), so dragging
  it raised 'StartMoving(): Frame is not movable'. A position the game hides is not saved.
• Ruler Scale: 10-40 px a yard (default 20), ticks twice as dense at the default
  Ticks keep at least 5 px apart and can also come every 0.25 yd: at the default 20 px a yard
  that is whole yard, quarter, half, quarter.
• Tape: fewer ticks when the scale would crowd them
  At the default 20 px a yard, ticks every 0.1 yd stood 2 px apart and ran together into a band.
  Ticks now keep at least 6 px apart: every 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 or 1 yd, whichever is finest.
• Tape: whole-yard ticks as thin as the others, only taller
• Dungeons hide speeds: keep the pace of the last crossings instead of standing still
  In dungeons GetUnitSpeed is secret, so the estimate thought nothing moved: it stood still between
  crossings and jumped at each one. Now your own movement comes from IsPlayerMoving, and with the
  speed unknown the estimate stands until a crossing shows something moves, then keeps the measured
  pace and eases into the next edge.
• Options > AddOns: a plain panel instead of a settings list, so the Options search is not tainted
  Typing "nameplates" in the Options search got Blizzard's own settings blocked, blamed on Good
  Range: the search reads every list entry, and one made by an addon taints it.
• Smoother and more precise: edge checks every tick, the display carries on between ticks
  • 30 ticks a second, each checking only the two steps around the distance; the steps around
    them are scanned when an edge changes and 5 times a second, all of them twice a second.
    Fewer range checks than before, and a crossing is timed to the tick.
  • The display carries the estimate on at its current rate between ticks.
  • A crossing counts as half a tick ago, where on average it happened.
  • A guessed rate eases in over the last 2 yd before the next edge instead of running into it.
  • Outdoors the standing target's spot is fitted to the last six crossings (and their mirror
    image across your path), not fixed by the first one.
• Nameplate: stand on the health bar (or the name above it), not the taller nameplate frame
• Above the target's nameplate: an option to hang the display over it, with its own offset
  Any of the three looks follows the target's nameplate; without one (nameplates off, the target
  too far or off screen) the display stays where it was put on the screen.
