Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Merge pull request #10 from ollidiemaus/minimap-icon
  Bolder small icon, centered on the minimap and in the Addon Compartment
• Center the minimap icon and use it in the Addon Compartment
  LibDBIcon picks its Classic layout because Forever's WOW_PROJECT_ID is
  18, not Mainline's, but Forever draws the Mainline ring, so the icon
  sat up and to the left of the opening. On Forever the button now gets
  the layout of Blizzard's own button in that ring
  (WorldMapTrackingPinButtonTemplate): border 54 px, dark disc 25 px at
  (3, -4), icon 20 px at (7, -6).
  The bolder icon is renamed IconSmall (Theme.ICON_SMALL) and is now the
  TOC's IconTexture as well, so the Addon Compartment and the addon list
  show it too. Icon.tga stays the journal's portrait and the Your Year
  card. Compat's comment about Forever's WOW_PROJECT_ID is corrected (18
  since build 70235).
• Give the minimap button a bolder icon
  The minimap button draws its icon at 17-18 px inside a round border,
  where Icon.tga's blue margin, vignette and frame left the parchment a
  small patch and the trail and compass mere specks.
  Media/MinimapIcon.tga (64x64, 32-bit, source Media/MinimapIcon.svg,
  not packaged) redraws it for that size: parchment and quill fill the
  ring, outlines are thicker, the trail is a thick dashed line, and the
  compass, frame and grain are left out. Theme.MINIMAP_ICON names it for
  the LibDataBroker launcher; Icon.tga stays the TOC icon, the journal's
  portrait and the Your Year card.
• Merge pull request #9 from ollidiemaus/0.7-notes
  Wayscribe 0.7 Notes: your own notes and map markers
• Let a note hold places as /way lines
  A note's places are now the /way lines in its text, in the notation
  websites share waypoints in (TomTom's: /way [zone | #uiMapID] x y
  [label]). One note can hold many places, e.g. Forever's Hidden Books
  pasted from a website (docs/ARCHITECTURE.md §4.9, §7.9).
  • Every /way line is a marker with the note's icon; its label shows in
    the tooltip. A line without a zone takes the zone of the /way line
    above, else the player's, and leaving the note writes that zone into
    the line (Notes:FillZones, also at logout).
  • Zone names are the client's own (C_Map.GetMapChildrenInfo) and the
    English ones from StaticData/Zones.lua (UiMap.db2, build 70235), so
    an English list works on a German client; "#1411" names a map by ID.
  • Alt+click and /ws mark start a note whose text is the spot's /way
    line. Notes from the test build with a single place get theirs as a
    /way line at login.
  • /way is not a chat command: in chat it belongs to TomTom and others.
  • The note's subtitle counts its places and the /way lines whose zone
    isn't known.
    In-game results on build 70291 are in docs/ingame-tests.md,
    docs/forever-probe.md and §12 row 14: Alt+click works in and out of
    combat with the popup in front of the map (strata MEDIUM), and the
    game's own map pin is on.
• Add Wayscribe 0.7 Notes
  The player's own notes, in the journal and on the world map
  (docs/ARCHITECTURE.md §4.9, §7.9, 0.7). Everything else Wayscribe keeps
  is recorded for the player; this is the first place to write something
  down yourself.
  • A marker is a note with a place: one kind of thing, one list, one
    editor. Notes live per character in WayscribeCharDB.notes
    ({ seq, list }) with their own write path, Data/Notes.lua. They are
    not records: they can be edited and deleted, and nothing is derived
    from them, so rollups, firsts and Your Year stay as they are. The
    table is optional, so there is no schema change.
  • A Notes tab between Journal and Your Year (UI/NotesView.lua): the
    notes newest first under New note, the open note written onto the
    page (title, when and where, text). Every keystroke is saved; a note
    left blank is dropped. Read-only journals can be read, not edited.
  • Markers on the world map (UI/NotesMap.lua), a data provider of its
    own at the default map's waypoint pin level, with the eight raid
    target icons. Alt+click on a zone or continent map names a new note
    in a popup; /ws mark [title] marks where the player stands. Hover
    shows the note, a click opens it in the journal; Show on the map
    opens the map at a note. The map button's menu and Settings > Notes
    hide them.
  • Backup and safety: the backup copies the notes with meta and state
    (a snapshot, so edits during a backup stay out) and counts them in
    its header. A journal with notes isn't "empty", so a restore never
    replaces them. The canary counts the notes' seq, so a journal that
    held only notes is still guarded when its file doesn't load. Reset
    deletes them.
  • The text export lists the notes written in its range after the days;
    /ws stats counts them; /ws probe reports the map click handler, the
    map's strata and Forever's map pin game rule.
    362 tests pass on Lua 5.1 and 5.5, among them backup and restore of
    notes and markers into a journal that didn't load. In-game checks are
    in docs/ingame-tests.md under "Notes and markers".
• Record that addon windows can't join Forever's controller mode
  In controller mode the journal can't be focused ("There is no interface
  window to focus"): the default UI's frame manager only knows windows
  from ShowUIPanel or FrameShown, and an addon can't read the controller
  itself (EnableGamePadButton is protected). A test build that called
  FrameShown for the login recap could be navigated, but every focus
  change raised "Wayscribe has been blocked from an action only available
  to the Blizzard UI", and closing the recap with the controller froze
  the client. The manager and SmartNavigation run tainted once an addon
  window is in them, and they call protected functions on focus changes.
  The code was withdrawn (kept in a stash); ARCHITECTURE §12 row 13
  records the result for build 70245.
