Breaking changes[]

  • Two new returns (bidderFullName at #13 and ownerFullName at #15) have been added to GetAuctionItemInfo. Owner, previously #13, has been pushed to #14. Returns previously after owner (saleStatus, itemId, hasAllInfo) have been pushed forward by two places.
    • The full call signature is now name, texture, count, quality, canUse, level, levelColHeader, minBid, minIncrement, buyoutPrice, bidAmount, highBidder, bidderFullName, owner, ownerFullName, saleStatus, itemId, hasAllInfo = GetAuctionItemInfo("list", offset)
  • One new return (bgQueue pushed from #4 to #5) have been added to GetLFGRoleUpdate.
    • The full call signature is now inProgress, slots, members, category, lfgID, bgQueue = GetLFGRoleUpdate()
  • StartWarGame("target"[, area]) "target" unitid was unitName previously

Modified API[]

  • GetUnitName(unitid[,showServer]) returns 'name-realm' instead of 'name - realm' (spaces removed) and most commands that accept a unitname now, work with 'name-server' format (/invite, /ginvite, /trade etc
  • UnitIsSameServer("otherUnit")
  • GetInstanceInfo()
  • GetLFGDungeonInfo(dungeonID)
  • GetLFGMode(category, lfgID)
  • GetLFGQueueStats(category[, activeID])
  • GetPVPRewards()
  • GetWorldElapsedTime(timerID)
  • GetSmoothProgressChange(value, displayedValue, range, elapsed, minPerSecond, maxPerSecond)
  • A new return has been added to GetInstanceInfo - instanceGroupSize at #9 which gives the number of players that the raid's difficulty is tuned for (either the max players for normal raids, or the current number of players for flex raids)

Bugs[]

New features[]

  • Players from Connected Realms (5.4 feature) can be interacted with in more ways (e.g. trading) than players from Coalesced Realms (old cross-realm zone functionality). UnitRealmRelationship returns information about another player's realm.
  • A new error condition event, SAVED_VARIABLES_TOO_LARGE, was added which indicates that some, or all, of an AddOn's SavedVariables were not loaded due to the player's machine being out-of-memory. [1]
