0.5.0

[0.5.0] - 2026-10-22

This version no longer exchanges with the earlier ones: everyone needs it to keep sharing.

Added

• Characters: your record now keeps each linked character's race, and when it reached the highest level, for features to come.
• Updates: once a session, Who's Who tells you in chat when another player's is a newer release than yours (any newer version while yours is a pre-release). You can turn it off in the settings, under Updates.
• /ww status and the Diagnostic page show the newest Who's Who version another player's add-on announced this session.
• Guilds: in My identity, "In my guilds" sets a nickname and a main for each guild your characters are in; only that guild's members see them.
• Guild requests: the guild master and officers can suggest a nickname or a main to a member, from the right-click menu in the Guild tab; the member accepts, edits or refuses it. Officers see each request, and whether it's done, in the member's panel and in a Requests list, and dismiss it there.
• Guild invites: from a character outside your guild, "Invitation…" on its line in My identity's "In my guilds" asks the guild's officers you know of to invite it (or whisper ginv to one); the officer is asked whether to invite it when another character of your identity is in the guild. The guild master or an officer turns it on in the guild's Who's Who settings.
• Nameplates: a new setting shows the nickname above or below the name on friendly players' nameplates, outside dungeons and raids. It's off by default, and may not work with nameplate add-ons.
• Battle.net friends: with the Friends scope, your Battle.net friends playing WoW: Forever share identities with you as your WoW friends do, whatever character or server they play.

Changed

• Add-on compartment: clicking Who's Who's entry opens its settings, as other add-ons do; the minimap button still shows the window. The diagnostic mode's lines are now always in English.
• Protocol: a new version of Who's Who's protocol, which no longer exchanges with the earlier ones. It skips the records and guild lists it already holds without unpacking them.
• Guild sharing: a guild member who is also your friend now gets both your linked characters and what your guild's rule adds. With your Guild scope off, a member of a guild enforcing linking who is not your friend sees only the characters its rule adds, without your nickname.

Fixed

• People: a player's old identity, whose characters now show under their new one, no longer stays in your saved data without any character.
• Guild sharing: in a group, the characters a guild enforcing linking adds to your record are no longer sent to group members outside that guild.
