Change Log:






1.2.0:

* Added support for weapon buffs / temporary weapon enchants (ticket #12). This only works for the player, and matches on the buff name without rank (i.e. "Rockbiter", not "Rockbiter 1"). Thanks to: "lxs" for submitting an example patch; "Kitjan" for NeedToKnow's weapon buff scanning algorithm; and "ckknight" and "Shefki" for Pitbull4's weapon buff icon guessing algorithm.



1.1.2:

* removed obsolete SpellID 51880 from Stun tracker preset (Fire Nova Totem replaced by spell in WoW 3.3, talent no longer stuns)

* added error handling and logging for invalid SpellIDs in tracker presets

* TOC update for WoW 3.3



1.1.1:

* Performance optimizations (hopefully to fix ticket #19).



1.1.0:

* Added preset (de)buff trackers. These buttons (in each window's "(Add Tracker...)" section) will create trackers pre-configured to track useful groups of (de)buffs.

* Added support for SpellIDs in tracker (de)buff lists.

* Added "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons to tracker settings windows, to rearrange them without having to unlock+drag.

* When a font set via LSM disappears (i.e. by deleting the addon that provided it), Auracle will now smoothly reset it to the default (built-in) font rather than throwing errors.

* The "Auracle Enabled" toggle is now remembered after logging out. This setting (like all others) will affect all characters that share the same Auracle profile, but note that Auracle will still consume some memory (but not CPU cycles) while disabled in this fashion, unless you disable it entirely from your "Addons" button on the character selection screen.

* Fixed support for LibSharedMedia selection widgets (broken 0.4-beta).



1.0.0:

* No functional changes since beta 0.4, but it's about time to call this a release. Auracle is considered (for the moment anyway) stable and feature-complete, or at least feature-sufficient.



Beta 0.4:

* overhauled the saved-variables update and validation routines; PLEASE NOTE: although this version should remain...



Description:






Auracle provides compact, customizable filtering and monitoring of buffs and debuffs.



Overview



Auracle's capabilities are organized roughly into "trackers", "windows" and "styles".



The most important of these is the "tracker", each of which can monitor a list of multiple auras (either buffs or debuffs, but not both at the same time). When any of those (de)buffs are found, the tracker lights up (or changes visually in any number of other interesting and configurable ways).



A "window" is just a collection of trackers that all watch the same unit. On a fresh installation, Auracle provides one window that watches "target", so any trackers in that window will activate according to the (de)buffs on your current target. You can create as many windows as you want, and each one can watch any unit you want (player, pet, focus, etc).



The visual aspects of windows and trackers are controlled by "styles". There is always a "Default" style (one each for windows and trackers), and you can create as many additional styles as you want.



Distribution & Translation



Please note that Auracle is kept current by the author on wowace.com, curse.com and wowinterface.com. If you get it from any other source, you are not guaranteed to get the latest version.



If you would like to help translate Auracle into other languages, please use the WoWAce Localization tool.



Getting Started



Since every role, class, spec and player will be interested in monitoring different (de)buffs, Auracle does not provide any trackers by default. The first thing you'll want to do, then, is add one.



To do this, open Auracle's configuration window, either with the chat command "/auracle" or from Interface Options->AddOns->Auracle. Select the "windows" tab to see your windows (you'll start with one, "Target") and their trackers (none yet). Select th...
