- Early Alpha version of BBP for Classic Era/SoD. Please report bugs, very limited testing has been done. Classic Era and Cataclysm will support eachothers import codes 100%. This version will just have the cata totem list, so not very accurate.
- Aeghis profile (www.twitch.tv/aeghis)

- Snupy profile (www.twitch.tv/snupy)
- Added a "Always Show" setting for purgeable auras that will show the purge texture regardless if you have a purge ability or not. This is on by default, and have been, but can now be turned off.
- New dropdowns for Texture & Fonts. Will change all dropdowns over time to use the new system.
- Fixed "Hide nameplate aura tooltip" causing lua error in PvE.
- Fixed multiple issues with the new Nameplate Shadow/Highlight setting. Blocking mouseover macros, showing on some hidden nameplates, now showing when mouseover character model as well as nameplate.
- Fix nameplate aura test mode causing lua errors.
- Fix Execute Indicator causing lua errors on some object nameplates (hopefully, untested).
- I wanted to push a few more new features but it will have to wait until I have had more time developing and testing them.
- Misc: Nameplate Shadow & Mouseover Highlight settings. The mouseover detection is not perfect, especially with overlapping nameplates, but until I can figure out a better method it will stay like this.
- Healer Indicator: Added default Blizzard spec info API call for enemy units while in arena. This API is only available for enemy units in arena specifically but is prefered over Details due to it identifying healer immediately.
- Fixed up Party Pointer test mode.
- Fix Castbar Emphasis color settings not working properly.
- Fix Execute Indicator mistake from an earlier patch causing a lua error with certain anchors.
- Update to 4.4.1 Settings API Support

- Health Numbers: Class Color setting.
- Execute Indicator: Target only setting.
- Execute Indicator: Use Texture setting that displays a line instead of text.
- Aura Color: "Only in PvE" setting now also does not color Player nameplates and has a better tooltip description.
- Nameplate Auras are now anchored to the healthbar (was NamePlate.UnitFrame) with Nameplate Auras settings enabled. This makes it so when increasing castbar height with Castbar Emphasis the auras follow properly.
- Tweak Pandemic Timers to never go below base duration (Rot and Decay refresh caused wrong timings)
- Fix Hide elite icon setting overlapping other setting in the GUI
- Fix elite icon popping back up even with the hide setting on.

- Fix Druid Blue Combos sometimes not being in order
- Mmarkers profile
- Party Pointer "Healer only" setting
- Pandemic Glow for auras that have a pandemic effect is now properly glowing when 30% of their duration is left instead of a flat 5 sec like it was before. For non-pandemic auras the default timer is still 5sec. For UA and Agony if their refresh talents are picked the Pandemic Glow will first be orange when it enters that range and then turn red when it also enters the 30% window.
- Fix the Interrupt CD Color spark positioning on channeled casts.
- Fix "Castbar Edge Highlight" causing lua errors in PvE.
- Fix druid blue berserk combos sometimes not activating.
- Potential fix for combopoints jumping to wrong nameplate due to a mix of settings. Requires more testing, pls report if this is still an issue.
- The "Interrupt CD Color" for castbars will now also display a spark on the castbar exactly where your interrupt becomes ready instead of just displaying a different color for casts where your interrupt will be ready.
- "Full Profile" export strings can now be imported in the other import windows and will then only import that specific portion of the full profile.
- Changed the color of Priests Re-Fear Shadow NPC to a more pinkish less threathening color (Was too similar to Psyfiend).

- Reposition Name now has a "Raise Strata" setting that is on by default.
- Make it so "Small Pets in PvP" only reduces the width of npcs that are not in the Totem Indicator if that feature is enabled. This was the intended behaviour but was only active if "Totem Width" setting was on.
- Fix Reposition Name no longer overlapping healthbar like intended by introducing new setting.
- Fix refresh of nameplates putting cast timer text back to default value instead of
BetterBlizzPlatesDB.npTargetTextSize, this will get gui settings in a future patch. - Updated castbar test mode to respect the new customizeable target text + cast timer text size.
- Fix issue with aura cooldown frame showing above aura glows.
- Fix issue with castbar customization enabled causing castbars to be white if ClassicFrames was enabled.
- Small Pets in PvP setting. (Totem Indicator plates will stay full size, unless specified otherwise)
- Classic Nameplates look (Only healthbar for now, might do castbar later. You can use customize castbar and select on texture if youd like.)
- Nameplate Auras: Color aura border by type setting.
- Arena Nameplates (spec name / id) now also has a setting to show spec names in Battlegrounds.
- New misc setting: Skip GUI, minmax setting that doesnt load GUI into the game until needed.

- Fix issue with Smoke Bomb debuff on nameplates multiplying its cooldown frame across other auras.
- Fix Healer Indicator Anchor selections in Advanced Settings being backwards for enemy & friendly.
- Changed default values for cvars: nameplateMinScale and nameplateMaxScale. They are originally 0.8 and 1, I've put them both to 0.85. You can change of course this value but they will now be linked and have the same value. This makes nameplates always keep the same size instead of scaling up and down tiny amounts depending on range. The reason I've done this is because it opens up a lot of possibilities to do things I couldnt normally do due to cpu usage concerns, and probably even makes wow run a little lighter alltogether. You might notice your non-target nameplates have changed (very minimal) in size and to re-adjust just go to /bbp -> Nameplate Size
- Totem Indicator can now change the width of nameplate healthbars, made possible by the important change above.
- Name Reposition has been changed to no longer create a fake name but instead move the original one, should make it less prone to bugs, made possible by the important change above.
- Added cooldown timer on Smoke Bomb debuff. This also supports nameplate icons for BigDebuffs and OmniAuras.
- Subsettings for "Hide castbar" on Enemy & Friendly nameplates: "Show on Target". Right-Click the "Hide castbar" setting to toggle on/off.

- Nahj profile update
- Pandemic timer for Agony and Unstable Affliction is now 10s and 8s instead of the regular 5s if the talents are learned.
- "Hide auras on totems" from Totem Indicator is now off by default instead. Could be confusing for dot classes.
- I've added a variable that controls size for nameplate target text and cast timer. Atm no GUI yet, default value is 11, you can change this size by writing /run BetterBlizzPlatesDB.npTargetTextSize = 11
- I've also added a variable that controls font outline for health numbers, also without GUI, to change it do /run BetterBlizzPlatesDB.healthNumbersFontOutline = "OUTLINE" (or "THICKOUTLINE", or nil)
- Absorb Indicator now says millions instead of thousands. 7300k -> 7.3m

- Fix overshield glow fix.. Hopefully maybe potentially the glow wont show in unintended cases now.
- Made the the TWW Target Highlight fix optional, setting in Misc.
- Fixed friendly auras being positioned too high with clickthrough friendly nameplate setting on. This was due to splitting the clickthrough setting into two different ones and this logic should rely on the new separated setting instead and not clickthrough.
- Non-Target Nameplate Alpha setting in CVar Control. (This is a CVar on cata but not on retail)
- Split friendly nameplate "Clickthrough" setting into two settings: One for clickthrough itself and other one for nonstackable. This change is because the nonstackable setting can cause issues and better left optional.
