Removed deprecated functions:

Changes to the force-respec system:

Miscellaneous Changes:
  • Added Globals:

  • MAP_PIN_TYPE_GROUP_LEADER
  • Added functions:
  • FormatIntegerWithDigitGrouping(number, delimiterString)
To better support digit grouping with multibyte delimiter strings. For example in French, delimiterString is usually a non-breaking space sequence.

  • armorType GetItemArmorType(itemLink)
To help those inventory filter addons out a little so that they don't rely on texture paths or locale-specific data.

  • EVENT_RETICLE_TARGET_PLAYER_CHANGED - Updated to better inform users about when the reticle target changes to another player (instead of just any other unit)

We can thank insaneclown for that. I think that's his name... he started a thread on reddit, and a TON of people voted it up and it was seen and responded to.

It's a strange, fickle community but is an excellent sounding board.

Sounds like the death recap functions would be beneficial to make an eavesdrop like addon. Anyone have this already on their addon schedule yet?

The Psijic Order folder on the forums had a sub-folder where add-on API notes were posted. Now that PTS is pubic. The sub-folders were removed or just the links taken away. I have no idea if we will even see API notes before it goes live anymore.

At the moment the API number check is 100007 on PST but the PST is getting another update today. Anyone seen notes on the differences from 100004 to 100007?

It is a wiki - you can do it yourself.

I already did my share of wiki work lately and am busy with developing the CCDR.
So for the time being I put a SEP field over it that is tuned to me.

I've been trying to keep the Events page tidy, with as much information as I have. The whole wiki is a big task, but adopting a single page is more manageable. Any takers for the functions and constants pages? Or sub-sections thereof?

Yeah, and it looks like addons that touch the inventory window (like Research Assistant and ESOutpost) are broken on PTS.
