1.2.0 — self-bot guard

• ADD Self-bot guard on Maint and Gear. With .playerbots bot self on, your own character obeys maintenance and autogear said in party chat, exactly like a bot. maintenance permanently learns weapon skills, professions and secondary skills (First Aid, Fishing, Cooking), every available spell, spends all talent points, adds glyphs, enchants and gems gear, and fills your bags. MiniGM now watches for the server's Enable player botAI / Disable player botAI lines, and while self-bot is on either button opens a warning that lists every change and sends nothing until you type Accept (case sensitive). The list was checked line by line against MaintenanceAction::Execute on mod-playerbots b6696bd.
• CHANGE Maint / Gear split into two buttons: Maint and Gear. Gear sends only autogear (equipment, nothing else), so you can gear a character without maintenance also teaching it skills, professions and talents. Maint sends maintenance + nc -loot. The panel is 25 px taller.
• ADD Maint or Gear on yourself. Solo, each button offers its own command on your character, behind a warning window that lists only what that command changes, and sends nothing until you type Accept (case sensitive). MiniGM turns self-bot on, whispers you the one command, waits for the bot AI's own answer ("I'm auto gearing", "I'm maintaining", or an error; up to 30 s), and only then turns self-bot back off (only if it turned it on). A fixed 5 s wait was tried first and switched self-bot off before autogear ran. If the server refuses self-bot, nothing else is sent. In a group: /mgm maintme / /mgm gearme.
• CHANGE The warning is a custom 480 px window - one item per line, left-aligned, opaque, above nameplates, movable, drag the bottom-right corner to scale it (size and position remembered, /mgm reset restores), Esc cancels - instead of a 320 px StaticPopup that wrapped every line.
• CHANGE One confirm window for everything. The Modify Char "type Accept" StaticPopup is gone; level and gold changes on yourself now open the same 480 px confirm window as Maint and Gear, showing the exact change (Parriahtest: add 10g 0s 0c). One window, one word, everywhere.
• FIX A wrong confirm word no longer fails silently. The window stays open, shows "That was not Accept - nothing sent. Try again, or Cancel." in red inside the window, clears the box and refocuses it. Before, the only feedback was a chat line behind the dialog and the window closed, which read as the button doing nothing.
• FIX Enter works everywhere a click does: the warning window takes Enter (Send) and Esc (Cancel) even when the text box has lost focus, the teleport confirm takes Enter, and Enter in the teleport search box closes the keyboard focus.
• ADD /mgm selfbot (show the state) and /mgm selfbot off (clear MiniGM's flag if it is stale).
• ADD Hard block: MiniGM refuses to send autogear reset or bis. Both destroy every equipped item before regearing.
• FIX docs/COMMANDS.md described maintenance as "repair, refill reagents, re-buff" and autogear as "upgrade gear from bags". Both were wrong. Rewritten from the source.
• ADD CHANGELOG link in the README Install section.
• CHANGE Modify Char's "modify YOUR OWN character" prompt now states the exact change before you type Accept, e.g. Parriahtest: level 1 -> 10 or Parriahtest: add 500g 0s 0c.

1.1.0 — alts remembered on join

• ADD A name typed into "Type a name..." is remembered as an alt the moment that character joins your party. Random bots arrive through addclass and never pass through that path, so they are never remembered; a typo never joins, so it is never remembered either. Works for characters on linked accounts and for the opposite faction (needs AllowTwoSide.Interaction.Group = 1 on the server).
• CHANGE The pending name expires after two minutes if nobody joins.
• FIX Every button was dead while you were dead. The client refuses /say from a ghost, and every command went out on /say. Commands now go out as a whisper to yourself when you are dead (the server parses . commands from a whisper the same way); the Full heal and Revive all macros always whisper yourself, alive or dead.

1.0.0 — first release

Everything in 1.0.0-rc, plus the documentation and packaging work that came out of actually publishing it.

• ADD A "First, some context" opener — what World of Warcraft was, why patch 3.3.5a matters, where private servers came from, and what AzerothCore is. Figures sourced to Guinness and Blizzard's 2010 investor release.
• ADD An explicit statement that this project does not link to, host or help anyone obtain a game client.
• ADD MiniGM-Addon-<version>.zip as the release download, containing a correctly named MiniGM folder. The -Addon- is there because the naive filename collides exactly with the "Source code (zip)" GitHub attaches to every release.
• CHANGE Install on the front page is five steps: download, open, drag the folder into AddOns, restart, /mgm. The caveats moved to docs/INSTALL.md.
• FIX Restored the Commands section to the README. An earlier rewrite dropped it, leaving /mgm runspeed as the only slash command mentioned anywhere — and it sat in a table of buttons, so it read as though there were a control for it.
• FIX Teleport picker was 640px wide and its own three columns needed 642. The Search label was anchored off-frame entirely. Now 668×372.
• FIX Corrected the mount-aura claim in four places. The docs said the aura "gets stripped indoors and in instances" as fact; it does not do that reliably — flying inside the Stormwind auction house held fine.
• CHANGE The panel always opens on the HUD tab. Remembering the last tab meant logging in to a near-empty Tele panel and wondering what broke.
• CHANGE Screenshots moved next to the features they show.
• CHANGE Prose rewritten throughout for a plainer voice.

1.0.0-rc — first public release candidate

First public build. Everything below this entry is unreleased private development, kept because the reasons are worth reading — several entries document server behaviour that is not written down anywhere else.

• ADD Full documentation set — install, user guide, complete command inventory, architecture, teleport data provenance, attribution, and a single-file master guide written to be given to an LLM.
• ADD GPLv3 licence and attribution, with the AzerothAdmin → TrinityAdmin → MangAdmin lineage recorded.
• CHANGE Slash commands are /mgm and /minigm.
• FIX Teleport picker layout. At 640px it could not contain its own three columns - 26 + 196x3 + 14x2 = 642 overflowed the frame before the 12px border inset was counted - and the Search label was anchored to the left of its box at x=26, so it rendered off-frame entirely. Now 668x372 with symmetrical 26px margins and the label anchored to the frame.
• ADD Screenshots.
• ADD A packaged release zip, MiniGM-Addon-<version>.zip, containing a correctly named MiniGM folder so installing is "drag it into AddOns". GitHub's own source zips do not work for this: Download ZIP gives MiniGM-main and a release's "Source code (zip)" gives MiniGM-1.0.0-rc, neither of which WoW will load. The -Addon- in the filename exists because the naive name collides exactly with GitHub's auto-attached one. The zip carries LICENSE too - a release is distribution, and GPLv3 asks for the licence to travel with the work. Packaging steps in CONTRIBUTING.md.
• ADD A "First, some context" opener for readers who have never heard of any of this: what World of Warcraft was, why patch 3.3.5a matters, where private servers came from, and what AzerothCore is - its lineage, its licence, and why modules like mod-playerbots make a small realm workable at all. Figures cited are sourced.
• ADD An explicit statement that this project does not link to, host or help anyone obtain a game client. MiniGM is an interface addon; the client is a separate matter.
• ADD A Commands section to the README. An earlier draft had one and it was lost in a rewrite, leaving /mgm runspeed as the only slash command mentioned anywhere - sitting in a table of buttons, where it read as if there were a control for it. All 13 are listed now, under a heading that says plainly they are typed.
• FIX Docs overstated the mount-aura failsafe. They said the aura "gets stripped indoors and in instances" as a flat fact; it is not that predictable - flying inside the Stormwind auction house held fine. The watchdog is there because the aura can drop silently, not because any particular place always drops it.
• CHANGE The panel always opens on the HUD tab. Remembering the last tab saved one click and cost a confusing login every session - you are never mid-task at login, so landing on a near-empty Tele tab just reads as broken.

Pre-release development history

Unreleased. Version numbers here are internal build numbers, not public releases.

3.4 Beta

• CHANGE The panel and the teleport picker now scale independently. 3.3 made the picker follow the panel; each now owns its scale, position and grip.
• ADD Size grip on the teleport picker.
• ADD /mgm telescale <0.5-2>.
• CHANGE /mgm reset resets both scales and both positions.

3.3 Beta

• ADD Size grip on the bottom-right corner. It scales rather than resizes: every button sits at a fixed pixel offset, so a real resize would leave gaps instead of reflowing. Clamped 0.5–2.0, top-left stays pinned, size remembered.
• FIX Minimap tooltip opened over the minimap itself. Now drops down-left.
• FIX The Minimap icon checkbox is centred under the title, measured as a checkbox+label pair after the first draw.

3.2 Beta

• FIX Party/Raid/Target teleport did not move bots. 3.1 sent one .summon <name> per member. That is a GM command aimed at players: the server accepts it and prints "You are summoning [X]", and the playerbot never acts on it. Bots obey the module's own summon in party or raid chat, which also moves the whole group in one message. Party/Raid now send summon to group chat; Target sends it whispered (bots) plus .summon (humans).
• NOTE Human party members do not obey the chat summon. Bring a human with Target.
• ADD Minimap icon, toggled from the title strip. Left-click opens/closes, shift-drag moves it, shift-right-click hides it. Position and state remembered. No LibDBIcon.
• ADD /mgm minimap.
• CHANGE The send queue carries a whisper recipient.

3.1 Beta

• ADD Tele tab. Who first — Self / Target / Party / Raid — then a centre-screen three-column picker opening on the zone you are standing in. Continent → Zone → Location, every column clickable.
• ADD Search box filtering all 1,306 locations by name across every zone.
• ADD Tele\TeleportDB.lua — 1,306 locations, 143 zones, 8 groups, 83 maps, derived from AzerothAdmin's Data/TeleportTable.lua (GPLv3) and regrouped from its 12 branches. 9 corrupt coordinate strings repaired, all listed in the file header.
• ADD The picker is its own frame on UIParent: centred, separately draggable, Esc closes it.

3.0.1 Beta

• FIX Title still overflowed the header brackets. 3.0 padded the header by a fixed +72px, which for a ~160px title produced a narrower header than the 240px it replaced. The art's end-caps scale with the texture, so the width must be a multiple of the title width.
• ADD /mgm titlefit <1.0-4.0> to tune that multiplier live.
• FIX The Tele tab reported a successful empty load as "database loaded, empty", which reads as a failure. Success now says "loaded OK" in green.

3.0 Beta

• ADD Tab bar (HUD · Tele) below the window, in the existing button style. Tabs drag and scale with the window and stay usable while collapsed.
• ADD Tele\TeleportDB.lua, loaded before the main file. Empty in 3.0; the Tele tab reports what it found so a failed install is visible immediately.
• ADD Active tab remembered.
• FIX Title ran past the header brackets.
• CHANGE Every HUD widget moved into its own page frame. No behavioural change.
• ADD GPLv3 LICENSE, README and this changelog.

2.1 Beta

• ADD Flight failsafe: a watchdog checks IsMounted() every 3s, re-applies the mount aura if stripped, waits out combat, and falls back to plain GM fly after three attempts.

2.0 Beta

• ADD Mount-aura flight. .gm fly alone ignores all speed rates; flight speed only applies while a mount aura is active, so Fly ON also sends .modify mount <displayID> <speed>.
• ADD /mgm flyspeed, /mgm flymount.

1.9 Beta

• ADD /mgm runspeed <n>; default reverted to 1.5.

1.8 Beta

• Testing and configuration only; no source snapshot kept.

1.7 Beta

• FIX Chat throttle silently dropped bursts — three SendChatMessage calls in one frame delivered only two. Everything outgoing now goes through a queue at one message per 0.4 s.

1.6 Beta

• ADD Fly speed control.

1.5 Beta

• ADD Esc closes pop-out panels.
• ADD /mgm addalt a,b,c accepts a comma-separated list.

1.4 Beta

• FIX Level can only go up. .character level de-levels as happily as it raises; that is now refused.

1.3 Beta

• ADD Modify Char panel — set level, add gold. Refuses with no target, and demands typing Accept when the target is you.

1.2 Beta

• CHANGE Only characters you have logged into are remembered as alts.
• ADD Right-click an alt to forget it.
• FIX Enter accepts popups (EditBoxOnEnterPressed).

1.1 Beta

• CHANGE Capitalised class labels.
• ADD /mgm reset also resets scale.

1.0 Beta

• First build. Red/gold dialog, draggable, collapsible, /mgm to toggle, no minimap icon by design.
