but also meant to be reused in other addons, not just mine.


v14.02.00 Sept 27th 2024
- In their infinite wisdom, Blizzard decided to ship 1.15.4 on classic with broken OptionsSliderTemplate
Message: Interface/AddOns/Blizzard_FrameXML/DeprecatedTemplates.xml:37 Couldn't find inherited node: UISliderTemplateWithLabels

v9.00.02 Sept 4th 2022
- Added `isWrath` and changed `isBurningCrusade` to be true in Wrath too (use >= for all the classic booleans)

v7.17.00 Sept 2nd 2020
- New :IsInOurGuild(name) method that is a version of UnitIsInMyGuild() that works even if the unit is not in range
  To use you need to call :SetupGuildInfo() once at startup/from main init (it'll register an extra event handler
  for GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE)

  for the first auction if it had multiple items
  Fixes https://github.com/mooreatv/AuctionDB/issues/18
  Good news is the raw data is fine and it's just the runtime calculation that was off in some cases
v7.11.00 Sept 1st 2019
- AH: added numSellers and hasUnknownSellers to item info to show in tooltip
  as well as more information about the auction in :auctionEntry() so it can
  be overridden as a callback (done by AHDB addon)
- Add price in new items info
v7.10.04 Aug 27th 2019

  yet keep the UI functional even if you search after and hit enter in Name editbox for instance
- shorten the classic realm message but make it a warning (1 time warning per session)
v7.10.03 Aug 27th 2019

- Fix bug in ahRestarts not reset to 0 and some "unexpected dump" warnings too
- new ah open/close event handling moved from AHDB addon to here :AHOpenCB() and :AHClosCB() called once

v7.09.00 Aug 25th 2019
- itemdb version 4 (20% shorter), fixed bug where suffixId was skipped (gem4id exists, doesn't stop at gem3)
- localization strings for AH messages
- new :GetMyInfo returning both full,short,realm,region (combo of GetMyFQN and GetMyRegion)

v7.08.06 Aug 24th 2019

- fixed bug with ah record wipe on detected db format change
- now include auction time left in the ah records
v7.08.03 Aug 22nd 2019
- More AH code for my AHDB addon (the addon formerly known as AuctionDB, which was confusing to TSM folks):
  - Fully functional, fast, full scan (:AHFullSave()) - does generate a huge amount of data though.
  - Now setup with a per Wow product line (classic, bfa at the moment) ItemDB with short key and Scan result
  - added item db version check
  - count and show number of new items found in the scan
  - expose :AHfullScanPossible()
  - optional :AHendOfScanCB() end of scan callback
  - :AHSaveAll() detects/warns if called before scan finishes
  - prints up to .showItems new items found during scan
- switched License from GPLv3 to GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 (LGPLv3)
  (as I always intended as this is a library and needs to be embedded, also WoW is proprietary
  which I believe implies no Addon can be plain GPL)
- new :HexDump function
- handle PTR/unknown Realms
- added changeable bug report params: .bugReportMaxLines = 225, .bugReportKeepFirst = 25, .bugReportMaxEntryLen = 400

v7.05.00 Aug 10th 2019
- added .isClassic boolean
- use `.minimapButtonAngle` to set the :minimapButton() initial position, default 154 degree,
  must be changed for each addon (137 for Mama)
- expect self.savedVar to be set to the same pointer to the addon saved var
  used by :SetSaved() so it doesn't need to be duplicated in each addon
- new MoLibAH.lua for auction house utilities (wip)

v7.04.07 Aug 9th 2019
- Fix for fix for https://github.com/mooreatv/PixelPerfectAlign/issues/6
  the inset didn't have a set frame level making the text unreadable only
  on classic - thanks Meorawr for the fix idea!
v7.04.06 Aug 3rd 2019
- Switched to pixel perfect ScreenFrame from WorldFrame because WorldFrame can be moved
  and handle that nil parent case properly in display size changed events.
  (also renamed :WorldFrame() to :ScreenFrame())
  fixes https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/pixel-perfect-align/issues/1
v7.04.05 Aug 2nd 2019

- Truncate bug reports that are too long (in utf8 aware manner)

v7.04.01 July 29th 2019 (dbox 2.03.00)
- Using standard wow look and feel + pixel perfect snap for BugReport, it's much nicer!
- Made :StandardFrame() for reuse beyond :BugReport plus some tweaks
- handle addScrollEditFrame() extra scrollbar width for correct bounding boxes
- added inset to addScrollEditFrame
- fixed case of last line getting an update with a right aligned string that doesn't fit

v7.04.00 July 29th 2019

    - new :MakeMoveable() to add dragging to a frame, with callback at the end to :SavePosition()
    - new :RestorePosition() to call with what is saved by the MakeMoveable cb and SavePosition()

On going updates from June 7th-30th 2019
4.1.0
- Incompatible change:
VerifySecureMessage returns true or false as first argument and an error message as
second argument instead of printing their own Warning
- adding :CloneTable as convenience shortcut deepmerge into a new table, also handles nicely nil and non table source
  and will always return a table
- adding :PrintDefault and :PrintInfo for white and blue printing with format'ing
- colors tweak
4.0.0
- ***Big incompatible change!*** all functions now declared with ":" and not a mix and match of "." and ":"
check all the callers, always use ":" !
- added LRU:exists() and :newest() (and earlier :fromTable(table) and :toTable())
- adding .Factions list of possible values returned by UnitFactionGroup()
- fix ML.name use instead of self.name use in debug print
- :Debug now shows SS.XX prefix where SS is modulo 100 seconds and XX hundredth of seconds
- added LRU:toTable() and LRU:fromTable() and optional table argument to constructor (ML:LRU()) to import/export to flat table
- ML.secureFutureThreshold = -5 ML.securePastThreshold = 45 changeable defaults instead of hardcoded -5 and +15 seconds before
- Switched hashing to be 64 bits (2x32bits to be precise), :Sign and :CreateSecureMessage uses the 64bits hex string
- new :ToHex(n) that gives a 32 bit (8 characters long) hex string representation (lua's %x fails for 2-4B)
- CreateSecureMessage and VerifySecureMessage both now return the signature to be used as messageId
- Dump/Debug etc now properly escape the wow | sequences
- new .StartsWith(str, prefix [, cb]) returns true and the reminder of the str if str starts with prefix,
optional cb argument is called with reminder of str after prefix if a match is found.
- new :CreateSecureMessage and :VerifySecureMessage functions to exchange time limited secure messages
based on 1 visible and 1 secret token, embeds server time and checks it too (messages stay valid for 15s)
- new :Sign(msg, secret) which returns the long hash of msg .. secret, also exposed .Hash() in addition
to earlier .ShortHash()
- new ML.LRU(capacity) instance constructor with :add() and :iterateNewest() and :iterateOldest() methods
- the Dump function (and thus Debug, etc...) can now print structures with pointer without infinite loop
- start of some tests in tests/ directory, and reduced reliance on wow specific functions to limit the number of shm needed
- changed all functions using :Debug to be :Functions (take self arg)
	so the debugging level of user addons embedded under different
	namespace do work (RandomId)
- new :AddHashKey to add a single alphanum character hash at the end of a string
- new :UnHash to check validity of, and remove previous hash key
- new :GsubEsc(str) escapes a string so it can be used literally
as a string.gsub(haystack, needle, replace) needle (ie escapes %?*-...)
- new :ReplaceAll(haystack, needle, replace, ...) replaces literally
every occurrence of needle by replace in haystack, rest of signature
and return is same as gsub()
- new :ShortHash(str) returning 1 alpha num hash of input string (and
the longer 32 bits hash numerical value)
- changed DebugEvCall to take mandatory level arg
- new :RandomId(len) for random alpha num string of length len
- new :Warning(formatStr, ...) for warnings with nice orange color
- :Debug now takes optional level first argument (if absent level is 1), use higher level
	for more verbose levels
- new :Error(formatStr, ...) for errors in red function
- Format() and thus Debug() now Dump()s table arguments
- GetMyFQN when called to early can fail (for instance at UPDATE_BINDINGS time the realm is nil(!))
- Darker green for :Debug() to not confuse with guild chat

3.1.0 June 6th 2019
- MoLib can now be installed in a different namespace than the one of the addon's name
use MoLibInstallInto(namespace, name) to do so
- As a consequence Debug() and MoLibInit() must be called using : so they can access state
- Adding multi valued Dump(...)
- Adding debug Ev handler DebugEvCall
- prefix seconds (server time) prefix to debug logging
- adding GetMyFQN fully qualified characterName-normalizedRealm
3.0.0 June 6th 2019
