The most recent version notes can be found in CHANGELOG.md or in the Git commit log. Older version notes are listed here for historical purposes. This page will only be updated when the primary changelog is pruned.
- Updated ToC for 6.2
- Fixed autolayout by group: it now shows as many groups as needed to show the highest group with an online player in it when in group mode. (ticket #795)
- Another fix for pets not being displayed (ticket #798)
- Fix for right-click menu enabled on startup despite setting (ticket #807)
- Fix for layout when in a party (not raid) in the world
- Layout size is now based on the maximum group size for the current instance, rather than the actual group size, to resolve several issues (ticket #795)
- Fixed pets not being displayed when using the By Group layout (ticket #798)
- Fixed the Low Mana Warning status not activating (ticket #780)
- The background frame does not always resize itself correctly when the group size changes in combat.
- Some group members may still be hidden if your raid is full (20 players in a mythic raid, 30 players in other difficulties) but you have arranged your raid groups so that not all groups are full (eg. only 2 players in group 1). If you use this kind of group arrangement, please post a ticket or in the forum thread to let me know.
- Fixed a number of layout-related issues
- Fixed an error when switching profiles (ticket #783)
- Fixed an issue with the Center Icon size (ticket #785)
- Fixed an issue with the Mouseover status sticking or activating randomly (ticket #791)
- Added a status to display Stagger on monks (thanks Greltok!)
- There is now only one "Raid" layout selection, and the built-in layouts will automatically adjust to match your current instance type and group size.
- There is now a "By Role" layout that will group players by their assigned tank/healer/damager roles.
- There are no longer separate "w/ Pets" layouts; use the "Show Pets" option on the Layout tab to add pets to any of the built-in layouts.
- Temporary fix for raid difficulty detection: LFR, Normal, and Heroic will use your chosen "Flexible Raid" layout, and Mythic will use your "25 Player Raid" layout. In the near future, all built-in layouts will automatically adjust their size for your current raid, and there will only be one "Raid" layout setting.
- Fixed an issue with right-click bindings in Clique (ticket #747)
- Fixed the Mouseover status not triggering when "Show Tooltip" was set to "Never" (ticket #770)
- Fixed another issue with status counts (eg. aura stacks) (ticket #768)
- Fixed the Resurrection status (ticket #745)
- WoW is currently reporting incoming heal and absorb amounts that are much too small, so Grid will also show incoming heal and absorb amounts that are much too small. There is nothing I can do about this other than wait for Blizzard to fix the problem on their end.

Follow me back in time to early October 2006. The Burning Crusade is expected to arrive in late November, and we've just found out that emergency monitors (like Squishy) and smart debuff curing (like Detox) aren't going to work when the expansion is released due to some fairly major changes in the UI.
Action buttons and targeting frames are "protected", and may not be programmatically moved, shown or hidden, or have their action changed while in combat.
Maia starts discussing ideas for a new addon to replace Squishy and Detox. This new addon is Grid.
- It is compact. A compact grid of units lets you select a target quickly.
- It displays as much information as possible without overloading the user. A good healer needs a lot of information to make healing decisions.
- It is customizable. You should be able to see what you want, where you want, how you want.
- It is modular. The easier it is to add new features, the more likely features will be added.
