Coming soon
- Fixed the settings window rendering blank — tab contents never drew due to a callback signature mismatch.
- Unified the display settings between Loot Notification and Combat State: both now use Scroll Speed (multiplier of 100 px/s) and Fade Time (seconds); old loot
scrollTime/fadeSpeedvalues are auto-converted per profile. - The enter/leave combat text boxes now show the effective localized default instead of appearing empty; clearing them restores the follow-client-locale behavior.
- Fixed long combat state text (e.g. "Leave Combat") being truncated with an ellipsis.
- Fixed a Lua error when looting caged battle pets and other non-item links.
- Switching / copying / resetting profiles now applies anchors and lock state immediately.
- Tuned defaults: loot font size 14, display time 1.5s, fade 0.1s, Y offset 250; combat display time 1s.
- zhCN / zhTW leave-combat wording changed to "离开战斗" / "離開戰鬥".
- Rewrote settings UI on Ace3 (AceGUI/AceConfig/AceDB/LibSharedMedia). Standalone floating window with Loot / Combat State / Profiles tabs.
- Added profile support (Profiles tab) so multiple characters can share or diverge on settings.
- Added LibSharedMedia font list — any user-installed font from an LSM-aware addon is available in the font dropdown.
- Fixed enter/leave combat default text sometimes freezing at whatever locale seeded the SavedVariables on first install. Defaults are now empty strings and the runtime falls back to the localized default text each call.
- Existing LootGDB SavedVariables are auto-migrated into the new LootGAceDB shape on first launch.
- Interface bumped to 12.0.5 / 12.0.7.
- Rolled up the taint-error and dedup fixes shipped in 1.2.2 / 1.2.3.
