4.3.3

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog,
and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[4.3.3] - 2026-08-20

Fixed

• Fixed issue where upgrading items would cause a Lua error due to StaticPopup_Show hook + dismiss loop.

[4.3.2] - 2026-08-20

Fixed

• Experimental camera features popup now reliably suppressed on every login/reload. Replaced UIParent:UnregisterEvent with a StaticPopup_Show hook so the popup is intercepted before it can appear — works regardless of addon load timing.
• Camera no longer jumps or zooms erratically when "Disable with Mouse Look" toggles mouse look on and off. Added ConfigActionCameraMouselookDisable which only toggles behavioral Action Camera CVars (shoulder offset, head tracking, pitch, motion sickness); preference CVars (zoom, FOV, zoom speed, turn speed) are left unchanged so zoom/fov survive mouse look toggles.

Changed

• Sticky Targeting moved from the Action Camera tab to Reticle Targeting.
• Mouse Look Turn Speed moved from the Action Camera tab to General > Mouse Look.

[4.3.1] - 2026-08-20

Added

• Four new adjustable Action Camera CVars in the Action Camera options tab: Field of View (50–90°), Max Zoom Distance (15–39 yards), Zoom Scroll Speed (1–50 inc/s), and Head Tracking Strength (0–2). Each slider applies immediately and only shows when the Action Camera preset is on (disabled when DynamicCam is loaded).
• Frame name to Vignette effect: CombatModeVignetteFrame.
• Added Alliance's version of Traveler's Tundra Mammoth to the Unlock Mount list.

Changed

• Camera presets now apply adjustable CVars (FOV, max zoom, scroll speed, head tracking) on top of the base Action Camera preset values at enable time.

[4.3.0] - 2026-08-19

Added

• Vignette Effect option under Action Camera > Additional Features: Darkens the edges of the screen to reduce visual distractions. On by default.
• Vignette Fade with Mouse Look toggle: Vignette fades out when Mouse Look is off and fades in when engaged. On by default.
• CM.IsMouselooking() public API: tracks Combat Mode's own intentional mouselook, distinct from Blizzard's IsMouselooking. Combines an internal flag with the Blizzard API so external addons starting or stopping mouselook are also handled safely.

Changed

• Crosshair while mounted now shows an inactive dot texture instead of being hidden; the "Hide While Mounted" option was removed.
• Target Lock now always prefers your current target, falling back to the unit under the crosshair when no target exists. The "Lock Selected Target" option was removed; both the Target Lock keybind and the click-cast Toggle Focus bindings share this behavior.
• Target Lock sound cues are now always on; the sound cue toggle was removed from the options.
• Toggle Focus Any / Toggle Focus Enemy bindable actions now use the same target-first macros as the Target Lock keybind, and CM macros are refreshed on every load so existing installs pick up the updated behavior.
• Reticle Targeting in Enemies Only mode now ignores a friendly Target Lock for hostile casts, so locking a party member as focus no longer redirects your attacks; the friendly focus is still honored when Enemies Only is off.
• Default click-cast binds for Alt+Left / Alt+Right mouse now use Toggle Focus (Enemy / Any) instead of Focus Target / Clear Focus.
• Vendor Mount auto-unlock renamed to Unlock Mounts. It is now a customizable multi-select field, pre-populated with the current vendor mount list so users can add their own mounts that force a cursor unlock.
• Vignette, crosshair, animations, assisted highlight, and party radial now use CM.IsMouselooking() instead of the raw Blizzard API, so they only respond to Combat Mode's intentional mouselook — not right-click-drag camera turn or other addon mouselook.

Removed

• "Hide While Mounted" crosshair option (new mounted crosshair state).
• "Target Lock Sound Cues" option (always on now).
• "Lock Selected Target" option (target-first behavior is now the default).

Fixed

• Friendly Target Lock no longer hijacks abilities when Enemies Only is on: offensive spells skip the friendly focus and target hostile units instead.
• Experimental camera features popup no longer appears when applying Action Camera CVars — the EXPERIMENTAL_CVAR_CONFIRMATION_NEEDED unregister now runs before the CVar writes.

[4.2.1] - 2026-08-12

Added

• Target Lock marker now flashes red when the locked unit is casting, making it easier to track interrupt windows at a glance.

Fixed

• Party Radial no longer produces "Unknown Unit" red errors when changing zones while in a party, even when the radial is not open. The fix disarms slice secure buttons on every zone transition so they cannot intercept stray clicks or binding-resolution events with stale/out-of-zone unit tokens.
• Settings CVar snapshot is no longer overwritten on every login, ensuring the Uninstall button correctly restores the user's pre-Combat Mode camera and targeting CVars.

[4.2.0] - 2026-08-08

Added

• In-game function-level profiler (Core/Dev/FunctionProfiler.lua): lightweight wrapper around C_AddOnProfiler.MeasureCall with per-key cumulative CPU and memory stats. Access via the Debug Mode toggle in the options panel — toggle ON to start profiling, toggle OFF to print a sorted report + CPU stats to chat.
• CM.StartProfiling() and CM.StopAndReportProfiling() public APIs for automated performance testing.

Changed

• Debug Mode toggle now also drives profiling: on → start, off → report + reset.
• Optimised several hot paths:
  • ShouldFreeLookBeOff early-exit short circuit (-14% avg, -42% alloc per call).
  • C_AssistedCombat.GetNextCastSpell cached for 1 second (-31% alloc per assist tick).
  • Consolidated duplicate IsMouselooking() calls in the root OnUpdate (-19% root tick time).
  • Party Radial TrackMousePosition slice refresh throttled to 0.15s (-11% avg, -10% alloc per call).
  • Binding fingerprint uses a numeric hash instead of string allocation.
  • UpdateFocusCycleWheelBindings and UpdateAllHealthBarGlowPulses use local caching and batch operations.

[4.1.6] - 2026-08-06

Added

• Reset Mouse Look keybind to recover a macOS stuck-cursor freeze after switching windows (macOS only, PR #179, thanks Roman Kitaev).
• GitHub Sponsors button in the config panel header.

[4.1.5] - 2026-08-05

Added

• Scale sliders for Interaction HUD, Combat Assist, and Party Radial (0.5–1.5); each scales the full companion / radial chrome.
• Added Discord & GitHub repository links to the config panel.

Changed

• Crosshair Size is now Scale (0.5–1.5, default 1.0); existing pixel sizes migrate to the equivalent scale.
• Added new Combat Mode theme to celebrate the release of version 4.

Fixed

• While Target Lock is held (and the marker option is on), the center reticle stays on the locked dot even if the focus nameplate is not visible.
• Cycling Target Lock with the mouse wheel no longer briefly flashes the reactive crosshair; the locked dot stays up across focus swaps.

[4.1.4] - 2026-08-03

Added

• Target Lock Marker option (on by default): turn off to keep the normal reactive crosshair while locked, with no nameplate hit marker.

Changed

• Party Radial runtime is split into focused submodules under Core/PartyRadial/ (PartyData → SecureBindings → HealthBars → RoleIcons → Visual → Lifecycle → façade; behavior unchanged).
• Shared crosshair cast-break VFX tuning and companion side offset live in Constants/Assets.lua (CrosshairCastBreak, CrosshairCompanionOffsetX); cast-break flash red reuses hostile reaction color.
• Party Radial Show Health Bars is on by default for new installs.
• Target Lock (keybind, mouse-wheel cycle, marker, and sound cues) is fully disabled when Reticle Targeting is off, matching the options panel.

Fixed

• Crosshair cast feedback and Combat Assist cast swipe/break no longer error in instances when cast GUIDs are secret under taint.
• Hardened several patterns across the code base against possibly secret or tainted value comparisons.
• Target Lock no longer leaves the center reticle stuck on a static Dot when the focus nameplate never appears; the plate marker still shows if the plate arrives later.
• Party Radial no longer blanket-enables slice mouse when the feature is disabled; inactive slices also collapse hit rects out of combat to reduce free-cursor click-steal.

[4.1.3] - 2026-08-02

Added

• Cycle Target Lock with Mouse Wheel (on by default): while Mouse Look is on and a Target Lock is set, mouse wheel cycles nearby enemies and moves the lock. Without a lock (or with Mouse Look off), the wheel zooms the camera as usual.
• Target Lock Sound Cues (on by default): play distinct cues when a Target Lock is set, cleared, or cycled to another enemy.
• Target Lock nameplate marker: while locked, the center reticle becomes a static Dot and a hit marker (the Active texture for your selected crosshair Appearance) appears on the locked unit's nameplate health bar.

Changed

• Combat Assist animations & appearance reworked to be more subtle/less annoying.
• Sheath Weapons with Mouse Look now waits briefly before sheathing after unlock, so rapid Mouse Look toggles (e.g. while single-pulling) no longer flash sheath/unsheath. Unsheath on lock is still immediate.
• Combat Assist and Interaction HUD runtime code are split into focused submodules under Core/Crosshair/AssistedHighlight/ and Core/Crosshair/InteractionHUD/ (behavior unchanged).
• Party Radial slices have been expanded to provide more information.

Fixed

• Binding another acti...

• Click-cast binding refresh no longer loops when Blizzard's Single-Button Assistant rewrites its action slot.

Added

• Combat Mode is now also published on Wago Addons; GitHub releases upload to both CurseForge and Wago.

[4.1.1] - 2026-08-01

Fixed

• Combat Assist no longer plays its cast-success animation twice when using the Single-Button Assistant action (the assisted-action event and UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED are coalesced into one).

[4.1.0] - 2026-07-30

  • Consolidated duplicate IsMouselooking() calls in the root OnUpdate (-19% root tick time).
  • Party Radial TrackMousePosition slice refresh throttled to 0.15s (-11% avg, -10% alloc per call).
  • Binding fingerprint uses a numeric hash instead of string allocation.
  • UpdateFocusCycleWheelBindings and UpdateAllHealthBarGlowPulses use local caching and batch operations.

[4.1.6] - 2026-08-06

Added

• Reset Mouse Look keybind to recover a macOS stuck-cursor freeze after switching windows (macOS only, PR #179, thanks Roman Kitaev).
• GitHub Sponsors button in the config panel header.

[4.1.5] - 2026-08-05

Added

• Scale sliders for Interaction HUD, Combat Assist, and Party Radial (0.5–1.5); each scales the full companion / radial chrome.
• Added Discord & GitHub repository links to the config panel.

Changed

• Crosshair Size is now Scale (0.5–1.5, default 1.0); existing pixel sizes migrate to the equivalent scale.
• Added new Combat Mode theme to celebrate the release of version 4.

Fixed

• While Target Lock is held (and the marker option is on), the center reticle stays on the locked dot even if the focus nameplate is not visible.
• Cycling Target Lock with the mouse wheel no longer briefly flashes the reactive crosshair; the locked dot stays up across focus swaps.

[4.1.4] - 2026-08-03

Added

• Target Lock Marker option (on by default): turn off to keep the normal reactive crosshair while locked, with no nameplate hit marker.

Changed

• Party Radial runtime is split into focused submodules under Core/PartyRadial/ (PartyData → SecureBindings → HealthBars → RoleIcons → Visual → Lifecycle → façade; behavior unchanged).
• Shared crosshair cast-break VFX tuning and companion side offset live in Constants/Assets.lua (CrosshairCastBreak, CrosshairCompanionOffsetX); cast-break flash red reuses hostile reaction color.
• Party Radial Show Health Bars is on by default for new installs.
• Target Lock (keybind, mouse-wheel cycle, marker, and sound cues) is fully disabled when Reticle Targeting is off, matching the options panel.

Fixed

• Crosshair cast feedback and Combat Assist cast swipe/break no longer error in instances when cast GUIDs are secret under taint.
• Hardened several patterns across the code base against possibly secret or tainted value comparisons.
• Target Lock no longer leaves the center reticle stuck on a static Dot when the focus nameplate never appears; the plate marker still shows if the plate arrives later.
• Party Radial no longer blanket-enables slice mouse when the feature is disabled; inactive slices also collapse hit rects out of combat to reduce free-cursor click-steal.

[4.1.3] - 2026-08-02

Added

• Cycle Target Lock with Mouse Wheel (on by default): while Mouse Look is on and a Target Lock is set, mouse wheel cycles nearby enemies and moves the lock. Without a lock (or with Mouse Look off), the wheel zooms the camera as usual.
• Target Lock Sound Cues (on by default): play distinct cues when a Target Lock is set, cleared, or cycled to another enemy.
• Target Lock nameplate marker: while locked, the center reticle becomes a static Dot and a hit marker (the Active texture for your selected crosshair Appearance) appears on the locked unit's nameplate health bar.

Changed

• Combat Assist animations & appearance reworked to be more subtle/less annoying.
• Sheath Weapons with Mouse Look now waits briefly before sheathing after unlock, so rapid Mouse Look toggles (e.g. while single-pulling) no longer flash sheath/unsheath. Unsheath on lock is still immediate.
• Combat Assist and Interaction HUD runtime code are split into focused submodules under Core/Crosshair/AssistedHighlight/ and Core/Crosshair/InteractionHUD/ (behavior unchanged).
• Party Radial slices have been expanded to provide more information.

Fixed

• Binding another action to an Interact key that already includes Alt (for example Alt+Mouse Button 3) no longer leaves Interact as Alt+Alt+key.
• Rapid Single-Button Assistant presses no longer spam Combat Assist cast-success press/pulse animations (repeats are coalesced while feedback is already playing).
• Click-cast binding refresh no longer loops when Blizzard's Single-Button Assistant rewrites its action slot.

[4.1.2] - 2026-08-01

Added

• Combat Mode is now also published on Wago Addons; GitHub releases upload to both CurseForge and Wago.

[4.1.1] - 2026-08-01

Fixed

• Combat Assist no longer plays its cast-success animation twice when using the Single-Button Assistant action (the assisted-action event and UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED are coalesced into one).

[4.1.0] - 2026-07-30

Added

• Crosshair Cast Feedback: the crosshair grows while channeling, explodes on a successful cast, and shakes on cancel or interrupt.
• Sheath Weapons with Mouse Look (on by default): unsheath when Mouse Look turns on; sheath when it turns off or Auto Cursor Unlock opens a panel. Temporary unlocks (hold, Party Radial, ground spells, OPie) keep weapons drawn.
• Redesigned Combat Assist HUD with improved animations and custom keyboard/mouse icons for Click Casting bindings.
• Redesigned Interaction HUD with Left/Right placement, fixed icon size, and opacity independent of the crosshair opacity slider.
• Redesigned Party Radial with rebuilt health bars, smooth fade in/out, and greyed role icons for dead members.

Changed

• Combat Assist, Interaction HUD, and Party Radi...

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog,
and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[4.2.1] - 2026-08-12

Added

• Target Lock marker now flashes red when the locked unit is casting, making it easier to track interrupt windows at a glance.

Fixed

• Party Radial no longer produces "Unknown Unit" red errors when changing zones while in a party, even when the radial is not open. The fix disarms slice secure buttons on every zone transition so they cannot intercept stray clicks or binding-resolution events with stale/out-of-zone unit tokens.
• Settings CVar snapshot is no longer overwritten on every login, ensuring the Uninstall button correctly restores the user's pre-Combat Mode camera and targeting CVars.

[4.2.0] - 2026-08-08

Added

• In-game function-level profiler (Core/Dev/FunctionProfiler.lua): lightweight wrapper around C_AddOnProfiler.MeasureCall with per-key cumulative CPU and memory stats. Access via the Debug Mode toggle in the options panel — toggle ON to start profiling, toggle OFF to print a sorted report + CPU stats to chat.
• CM.StartProfiling() and CM.StopAndReportProfiling() public APIs for automated performance testing.

Changed

• Debug Mode toggle now also drives profiling: on → start, off → report + reset.
• Optimised several hot paths:
  • ShouldFreeLookBeOff early-exit short circuit (-14% avg, -42% alloc per call).
  • C_AssistedCombat.GetNextCastSpell cached for 1 second (-31% alloc per assist tick).
  • Consolidated duplicate IsMouselooking() calls in the root OnUpdate (-19% root tick time).
  • Party Radial TrackMousePosition slice refresh throttled to 0.15s (-11% avg, -10% alloc per call).

• Clicking a Party Radial slice now also hard-targets that party member.
• Clicking the Party Radial center close (X) clears the current target.

Fixed

• Rebinding Mouse Look, Party Radial, or Target Lock now clears leftover Interact Alt+key chords and refreshes Target Lock overrides immediately (no reload required when stealing a key).

[4.0.3] - 2026-07-28

Added

• Character-specific options now show a blue © mark beside the title; hover it for a tooltip explaining they are saved per character.
• Interact Unit option (Crosshair Unit or Soft Targeted Unit) under the Interact keybind; switching units rebinds the key and keeps ALT+key on the other command to avoid Blizzard's interact warning.
• Excluded Spells and Cast at Crosshair input fields under Reticle Targeting now use a pill multi-selector: type a name or ID for suggestions from your spellbook, then pick to add it to the list.

Changed

• Cast-at-crosshair and excluded-spell lists are stored as spell IDs. Legacy name tokens migrate when the options UI loads.

[4.0.2] - 2026-07-27

Added

• Uninstall button in the options sidebar: restores your pre-Combat Mode camera and targeting CVars, resets Left/Right Click to the default camera binds, disables the addon, and reloads.
• Combat Mode now snapshots your CVars before changing them, so Uninstall can restore your settings instead of only hard-coded Blizzard defaults.
• Changelog window now has a left-hand version list; click a version to scroll to that section.

Changed

• Welcome popup now clarifies the difference between deleting the addon folder and and fully uninstalling.

Removed

• /undocm slash command — use the Uninstall button in options instead.

[4.0.1] - 2026-07-27

Added

Changed

• Clarified helper text on several options.

[4.0.0] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• Breaking: rebuilt the settings UI as a standalone, movable Combat Mode window with a sidebar layout. Open it with /cm or /combatmode, or from Escape > Options > AddOns > Combat Mode.

• Healing Radial renamed to Party Radial, with a live preview while adjusting visual settings.
• Action Camera options moved into a dedicated Action Camera section.

Removed

• Ace3 / LibStub dependency stack in favor of native Combat Mode modules. SavedVariables (CombatModeDB) and slash commands are unchanged.

Fixed

• Rapidly toggling OPie rings could leave the cursor stuck and visible while Mouse Look was active.
• Reloading could leave the cursor visible while still in the Mouse Look state after the loading screen.

[3.3.1] - 2026-07-18

Changed

• Improved cursor unlock performance by caching compiled custom conditions and checking open Blizzard UI panels before scanning watched frames.

[3.3.0] - 2026-04-24

Added

• Combat Assist spell icon suggestion on the Crosshair (Retail Assisted Combat highlight).
• Edit Mode controls for the assisted highlight widget: enable/disable, size, position (X/Y), keybind display, and keybind anchor.

[3.2.2] - 2026-03-28

Added

• Changelog popup on first login after updating the addon.

[3.2.1] - 2026-03-27

Fixed

• Cast @cursor whitelist not applying correctly.

[3.2.0] - 2026-03-27

Added

• Reticle Targeting CVar editor for customizing Combat Mode Reticle Targeting CVars.
• Targeting macro prelines editor for customizing injected prelines when Reticle Targeting is enabled.

[3.1.10] - 2026-03-26

Added

• Third-party action bar policy: when Bartender4, Dominos, or ElvUI is detected, Combat Mode forces macroInjectionClickCastOnly=true and locks that toggle; Blizzard default bars keep full reticle targeting macro injection.

[3.1.9] - 2026-03-26

Changed

• Action bar binding overrides now derive the canonical action-slot id from the binding prefix and button index instead of MultiBar*ButtonN ...

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog,
and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

[4.1.5] - 2026-08-05

Added

• Scale sliders for Interaction HUD, Combat Assist, and Party Radial (0.5–1.5); each scales the full companion / radial chrome.
• Added Discord & GitHub repository links to the config panel.

Changed

• Crosshair Size is now Scale (0.5–1.5, default 1.0); existing pixel sizes migrate to the equivalent scale.
• Added new Combat Mode theme to celebrate the release of version 4.

Fixed

• While Target Lock is held (and the marker option is on), the center reticle stays on the locked dot even if the focus nameplate is not visible.
• Cycling Target Lock with the mouse wheel no longer briefly flashes the reactive crosshair; the locked dot stays up across focus swaps.

[4.1.4] - 2026-08-03

Added

• Target Lock Marker option (on by default): turn off to keep the normal reactive crosshair while locked, with no nameplate hit marker.

Changed

• Party Radial runtime is split into focused submodules under Core/PartyRadial/ (PartyData → SecureBindings → HealthBars → RoleIcons → Visual → Lifecycle → façade; behavior unchanged).
• Shared crosshair cast-break VFX tuning and companion side offset live in Constants/Assets.lua (CrosshairCastBreak, CrosshairCompanionOffsetX); cast-break flash red reuses hostile reaction color.
• Party Radial Show Health Bars is on by default for new installs.
• Target Lock (keybind, mouse-wheel cycle, marker, and sound cues) is fully disabled when Reticle Targeting is off, matching the options panel.

Fixed

• Crosshair cast feedback and Combat Assist cast swipe/break no longer error in instances when cast GUIDs are secret under taint.
• Hardened several patterns across the code base against possibly secret or tainted value comparisons.
• Target Lock no longer leaves the center reticle stuck on a static Dot when the focus nameplate never appears; the plate marker still shows if the plate arrives later.
• Party Radial no longer blanket-enables slice mouse when the feature is disabled; inactive slices also collapse hit rects out of combat to reduce free-cursor click-steal.

[4.1.3] - 2026-08-02

Added

• Cycle Target Lock with Mouse Wheel (on by default): while Mouse Look is on and a Target Lock is set, mouse wheel cycles nearby enemies and moves the lock. Without a lock (or with Mouse Look off), the wheel zooms the camera as usual.
• Target Lock Sound Cues (on by default): play distinct cues when a Target Lock is set, cleared, or cycled to another enemy.
• Target Lock nameplate marker: while locked, the center reticle becomes a static Dot and a hit marker (the Active texture for your selected crosshair Appearance) appears on the locked unit's nameplate health bar.

Changed

• Combat Assist animations & appearance reworked to be more subtle/less annoying.
• Sheath Weapons with Mouse Look now waits briefly before sheathing after unlock, so rapid Mouse Look toggles (e.g. while single-pulling) no longer flash sheath/unsheath. Unsheath on lock is still immediate.
• Combat Assist and Interaction HUD runtime code are split into focused submodules under Core/Crosshair/AssistedHighlight/ and Core/Crosshair/InteractionHUD/ (behavior unchanged).
• Party Radial slices have been expanded to provide more information.

Fixed

• Binding another action to an Interact key that already includes Alt (for example Alt+Mouse Button 3) no longer leaves Interact as Alt+Alt+key.
• Rapid Single-Button Assistant presses no longer spam Combat Assist cast-success press/pulse animations (repeats are coalesced while feedback is already playing).
• Click-cast binding refresh no longer loops when Blizzard's Single-Button Assistant rewrites its action slot.

[4.1.2] - 2026-08-01

Added

• Combat Mode is now also published on Wago Addons; GitHub releases upload to both CurseForge and Wago.

[4.1.1] - 2026-08-01

Fixed

• Combat Assist no longer plays its cast-success animation twice when using the Single-Button Assistant action (the assisted-action event and UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED are coalesced into one).

[4.1.0] - 2026-07-30

Added

• Crosshair Cast Feedback: the crosshair grows while channeling, explodes on a successful cast, and shakes on cancel or interrupt.
• Sheath Weapons with Mouse Look (on by default): unsheath when Mouse Look turns on; sheath when it turns off or Auto Cursor Unlock opens a panel. Temporary unlocks (hold, Party Radial, ground spells, OPie) keep weapons drawn.
• Redesigned Combat Assist HUD with improved animations and custom keyboard/mouse icons for Click Casting bindings.
• Redesigned Interaction HUD with Left/Right placement, fixed icon size, and opacity independent of the crosshair opacity slider.
• Redesigned Party Radial with rebuilt health bars, smooth fade in/out, and greyed role icons for dead members.

Changed

• Combat Assist, Interaction HUD, and Party Radial options streamlined for a fixed, more controllable layout.
• Clicking a Party Radial slice now also hard-targets that party member.
• Clicking the Party Radial center close (X) clears the current target.

Fixed

• Rebinding Mouse Look, Party Radial, or Target Lock now clears leftover Interact Alt+key chords and refreshes Target Lock overrides immediately (no reload required when stealing a key).

[4.0.3] - 2026-07-28

Added

• Character-specific options now show a blue © mark beside the title; hover it for a tooltip explaining they are saved per character.
• Interact Unit option (Crosshair Unit or Soft Targeted Unit) under the Interact keybind; switching units rebinds the key and keeps ALT+key on the other command to avoid Blizzard's interact warning.
• Excluded Spells and Cast at Crosshair input fields under Reticle Targeting now use a pill multi-selector: type a name or ID for suggestions from your spellbook, then pick to add it to the list.

Changed

• Cast-at-crosshair and excluded-spell lists are stored as spell IDs. Legacy name tokens migrate when the options UI loads.

[4.0.2] - 2026-07-27

Added

• Uninstall button in the options sidebar: restores your pre-Combat Mode camera and targeting CVars, resets Left/Right Click to the default camera binds, disables the addon, and reloads.
• Combat Mode now snapshots your CVars before changing them, so Uninstall can restore your settings instead of only hard-coded Blizzard defaults.
• Changelog window now has a left-hand version list; click a version to scroll to that section.

Changed

• Welcome popup now clarifies the difference between deleting the addon folder and and fully uninstalling.

Removed

• /undocm slash command — use the Uninstall button in options instead.

[4.0.1] - 2026-07-27

Added

• Excluded Spells and Cast at Crosshair now accept spell IDs as well as names (including mixed lists such as Heroic Leap, #6544).

Fixed

• Keybind options can no longer bind Left or Right Mouse Button, which previously could clear Camera Or Select Or Move from BUTTON1.

Changed

• Clarified helper text on several options.

[4.0.0] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• Breaking: rebuilt the settings UI as a standalone, movable Combat Mode window with a sidebar layout. Open it with /cm or /combatmode, or from Escape > Options > AddOns > Combat Mode.

• Action bar binding overrides now derive the canonical action-slot id from the binding prefix and button index instead of MultiBar*ButtonN frames, whose action attribute can be ambiguous with Bartender4, Dominos, ElvUI, and similar addons.

[3.1.8] - 2026-03-25
