• feat(bandage): right-click bandages yourself

v0.3.4

BetterRations

v0.3.4 (2026-10-05)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• feat: add /br healthstone toggle
• fix: read only restored mana from tooltips
  Well Fed lines such as "gain 8 mana every 5 seconds" made buff food
  count as a drink.
• chore: drop Deprecated items from the data table
  Removed from the game, so no one carries them.
• fix: leave character macros of the same name alone
  GetMacroIndexByName also finds character macros, so a player's own
  macro named BR Eat was overwritten.
• fix: warn about a full macro list only once
  The message printed at every scan, so after every loot.
• fix: stop rescanning after a failed spell load
  A failed load was requested again by every scan, so one unloadable
  spell kept the addon scanning twice a second for the whole session.
• fix: use the potion while the healthstone cools
  /castsequence only advances when a step succeeds, so a stone on
  cooldown from the last fight kept the potion out of reach.
• fix: leave Well Fed drinks out of BR Drink
  The buff food setting only gated food, so BR Drink drank buff
  teas and smoothies as plain water.

v0.3.3

BetterRations

v0.3.3 (2026-10-04)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: show the combat item's icon in combat
  The client does not redraw macro icons when combat starts, so a [combat]
  icon stayed on the food or placeholder. On PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED, which
  fires before macros lock, swap in combat-only bodies; the normal bodies
  return after the fight. Confirmed in game.
• fix: keep healthstones for combat without food
  With no food, BR Eat became a plain /use of the healthstone and spent it
  out of combat (same for potions and drink). Combat items are now
  combat-only; out of combat the macro prints what is missing. The icon
  line names the item in combat and the placeholder outside it, since a
  stored icon would override #showtooltip. Reported by a user.

v0.3.2

BetterRations

v0.3.2 (2026-10-04)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• feat: placeholder icons for empty macros
  An empty macro showed the question mark. It now shows the icon of a basic
  item of its kind: bread, spring water, linen bandage. The stored icon is
  compared too, only for empty macros, so existing ones switch over;
  confirmed in game with no repeated edits.

v0.3.1

BetterRations

v0.3.1 (2026-10-04)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: load item spells before reading tooltips
  After a full client start the tooltip has no Use: line until the item's
  spell is loaded, which the client does not do by itself, so items read
  as useless for the whole session. Request the spell data, treat the item
  as unresolved, and rescan on SPELL_DATA_LOAD_RESULT. Confirmed in game:
  all tooltips read correctly seconds after a cold start.

v0.3.0

BetterRations

v0.3.0 (2026-10-04)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• feat: item data table, works in any language
  Data.lua lists what 333 consumables restore, generated by
  tools/gen-data.js from the 1.60.1 game tables on wago.tools. Items are
  looked up there first, without tooltip text, so the addon works on every
  client language; the English tooltip parse stays as the fallback.
  Checked in game: 0 differences against the tooltips.

v0.2.2

BetterRations

v0.2.2 (2026-10-04)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: rescan after coming back from death
  While dead or a ghost no item is usable, so a scan then wrote the empty
  macros and nothing rescanned on resurrection. Scans now wait while dead,
  like in combat and on a taxi, and run a second after PLAYER_ALIVE or
  PLAYER_UNGHOST.

v0.2.1

BetterRations

v0.2.1 (2026-10-04)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: rescan a few seconds after a fresh login
  On a cold login items can read as unusable while level and skills load,
  so the entering-world scan wrote the empty macros and nothing rescanned
  until the bags changed. A fresh login now schedules one more scan after
  five seconds.

v0.2.0

BetterRations

v0.2.0 (2026-10-03)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: stop rewriting all macros at every login
  GetMacroBody returns the stored body with a trailing newline after a
  reload, so the first scan of every session saw three mismatches and
  rewrote macros that had not changed. Compare without trailing
  whitespace.
• fix: rescan after landing from a flight path
  A /reload in flight scanned while no item was usable and wrote the
  empty macros, and nothing rescanned on landing. Scans are now deferred
  while on a taxi, like in combat, and a scan runs a second after
  PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED, the same grace a level-up gets.
• feat: healthstone then potion in one fight
  When both a healthstone and a healing potion are picked, BR Eat becomes
  a castsequence: first press in a fight uses the stone, second the
  potion, reset when combat ends. With one combat item it stays a plain
  /use. /br prints the sequence.
• fix: only consumables count, not recipes
  A potion recipe quotes the tooltip of the potion it makes and has Potion
  in its name, so it was picked as the combat item. Judge by item class
  before reading the tooltip: anything that is not a Consumable is marked
  useless without parsing, which also spares most of the bag at login.
• feat: potions in combat as an option
  Off by default. With potions on, BR Eat uses the best healing potion in
  combat when there is no healthstone, and BR Drink uses the best mana
  potion. Potions are recognised by name and the "Restores X to Y" range
  in the tooltip, ranked by the low end. /br now also lists the combat
  item per macro, and /br potions toggles the setting.
• fix: retry scans that could not read an item
  A freshly crafted bandage was not picked up until the next bag event:
  the scan right after crafting could not read the new item yet, and
  nothing scheduled a second look. A scan that leaves an item unread now
  retries after a second, up to three times. /br perf shows how many
  items the last scan left unresolved.
• perf: cheaper bag scans, guard uncached items
  Read slots with GetContainerItemID instead of GetContainerItemInfo,
  which built a table per slot (46.7 KB and 1.63 ms per scan with 34
  items), and fetch counts with GetItemCount only for consumables. Cache
  false for items with no use, so the pick loop and IsUsableItem only see
  consumables. Hoist the pick list and the debounce callback out of the
  hot paths.
  Also skip items whose data the client has not loaded yet: the tooltip
  would read "Retrieving item information" and the item would be cached
  as useless for the session. Request the data and rescan on
  ITEM_DATA_LOAD_RESULT.
• feat: add /br perf with scan timing and memory
  Counts scans and macro edits, times each update and measures what it
  allocates, so the optimisation pass has before and after numbers.
  Mirrors /bqt perf.

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• feat: add icon and CurseForge project ID
  Show the addon icon (icon.tga, rendered from art/icon.svg) in the AddOns

  so the release workflow can upload.
• feat: add BetterRations addon

  best usable item in your bags. BR Eat uses a healthstone in combat.
  Conjured items win ties. Includes a settings panel and /br command.
