will all addons be broken?

TribeofOne · 11/03/14, 10:04 AM

Am I right in understanding that all addons will be broken by this update?

Not really, but 100% of addons using an option panel will got their option panel broken

If your addon was directly listed in "Settings", there's for now no fix (Devs, please update !!)
If your addon was under settings > addon settings, updating 1 addon will fix all your addons

After, there's still some compatibility changes due to api changes, but devs need to look at their code depending on the changes

Most addons will function as normal if you check "Allow out of date addons"

The issue you may have is the one Ayantir suggested, however if even only one of your addons which uses a menu in Settings -> Addon Settings gets updated, all of your other addons that also use one of those settings menus should also begin to work.

My addons were up to date with PTS as of 8 am this morning (EDT). They should all work fine.

Some add-ons might be broken. Others might have been written for an out-of-date version of the API, but still work fine if you check the "Allow out-of-date add-ons" button in the Add-Ons list. Still others might have new versions already posted -- check out the Latest Submissions list, or use Minion to check for you!

It seems like all addons using LibAddonMenu-1.0 is broken now.

There are three solutions:

Update your addon to LibAddonMenu-2.0 (recommended). You can use Sephiroth018's LibAddonMenuSettingsConverter.
Use Compatibility tool for Update 5, it will fix most of the UI errors.
Use unofficially updated LibAddonMenu-1.0 which I have in my dropbox folder.

I tried using your unofficial LibAddonMenu-1.0-r9_for_Update5.
It works for 3 of my addons without issues, but my BankManagerRevived fails:

Code:

I have tried working with that LibAddonMenuSettingsConverter on BankManagerRevived, but I can make it work properly.
IF I understand it correctly, then it's SOME of the code in UI\BankManagerOpts.lua but not sure how much goes where
