[4.0.0-universal] - 2026-09-01

Fixed

• Classic: player frame health bar not showing the player's class color - Style_PlayerFrame was
  silently erroring on hooksecurefunc("TextStatusBar_UpdateTextStringWithValues", ...) on clients
  that have migrated to Blizzard's mixin-based TextStatusBarMixin system, aborting the rest of the
  function (including the class-color update) before it ever ran.
• Classic: player frame health bar reverting to Blizzard's default green shortly after showing the
  correct class color - lockColor wasn't set, so Blizzard's own native health-bar update kept
  repainting over it on every health change.
• Classic: Player/Target frame health bar X/Y position drift and hardcoded offsets - position is now
  derived from Blizzard's own live anchor plus a fixed, named addon-specific delta, instead of
  hardcoded absolute values or a full copy of Blizzard's live position.
• Classic: Target frame Background texture anchored to the wrong corner with stale offsets.
• Retail: Secret Values taint crash in Style_PlayerFrame when health/mana is a secret value at the
  moment of a forced text update.
• Potential crash in UpdateStatusBarColor when frame/frame.healthbar is nil (e.g.
  target-of-target frames that may not exist, or lack a .healthbar alias, on every client).
• Target frame ending up with a mix of addon and Blizzard styling when switching targets in combat -
  InCombatLockdown() guards were narrowed to only the genuinely combat-restricted operation
  (creating new regions); repositioning/recoloring already-existing regions isn't restricted.

Added

• PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED catch-up that re-applies styling on leaving combat, so anything actually
  skipped by a combat-lockdown guard gets retried instead of staying unstyled for the rest of the
  session.
• Local build.ps1 script that fetches the same Ace3/LibStub externals .pkgmeta declares and
  stages a build for testing without going through the CurseForge packager - defaults to
  deploy/UnitFramesImproved only, with -DeployToWow (or -WowInstallPath/-TargetPath) to also
  copy that build into a local WoW install.
• .github/workflows/release.yml: manually-triggerable (Actions tab -> Run workflow) packaging and
  CurseForge publishing via the BigWigsMods/packager action, which also attaches the built zip to
  a matching GitHub release using this changelog as the release notes.
• IconTexture metadata in all three TOC files, so the addon shows an icon in the in-game AddOns
  list instead of the default blank/placeholder icon.
• build.ps1 now also zips the staged build into deploy\UnitFramesImproved-<version>.zip.

Changed

• Debug "Loading config... / Config loaded." messages now only print on the very first load, not on
  every zone transition or post-combat re-application.
• UnitFramesImproved_UpdateTextStringWithValues moved off the global namespace onto
  UnitFramesImproved.UpdateTextStringWithValues.
• README.md rewritten for players only, in the style of the CurseForge listing description;
  build/release instructions moved to the new DEVELOPMENT.md.
• Addon author metadata updated to kiforsbe / KawF.
