Change Log:
--------------------
== Version 4.3 (release 244r) January 31, 2012 ==
There have been a number of releases between these two, but to date none of the content from after patch 4.0.3a is included in the database. It's because of this that I have resisted updating the addon here, but I want to keep you folks at least function. Below are a list of all of the alterations between versions:
(244r) Adjusts the GetTime workaround to resolve low FPS issues on Macs.
(238r) The first official 4.3.0 release. It works, except of course for the database not yet being up to date.
(238r) I made a change to the collection system that I didn't properly implement, resulting in an error any time you put your mouse over a character. This fixes that.
(238r) Implemented a QuestHelper_GetTime function where it seemed appropriate to do so for the next time Blizzard decides to fiddle with the time functions. It returns debugprofilestop() / 1000, to exactly match the precision of GetTime(). In two cases, the precision of GetTime was actually in use and the desired difference was rounded up to the next second.
(238r) Removed all references to Cartographer. Cartographer support will not be included ever again.
(238r) Removed some essentially useless files.
(238r) Updated TOC version.
(238r) Collecting more info on location to help with dungeon quests.
(238r) Converted assertion for a completely unknown loot item to a quiet error, since there seems to be no way to determine exactly why it happens.
(224r) Resolves issue 350 (inability to add custom waypoints after Elders were added to "/qh find" in 2011).
(224r) Resolves issue 351 (issue using continent names in "/qh find" command).
(224r) Resolves issue 352 (typing "/qh find" again adds duplicate waypoints).
(224r) API created to allow Archy to send data to QH.
(224r) Minor fix to ensure that everything is clean if the user cancels the custom waypoint via the world map.
(224r) Issuing a the "/qh find" command on something a second time will...
Description:
--------------------
Questhelper tells you how to finish your quests in the easiest, fastest manner. It includes a database of quests, monsters, and items, telling you the exact location of that dang Perfect Satyr Horn you can't find. It also computes the fastest path to complete all your quests - and gain experience - as quickly as possible.
Nateconj is the new manager for the QuestHelper project, but as he's focusing on development, I'm handling mirroring and support on other sites. A lot has changed since 1.4.1. Primarily,
* Support for new Cataclysm zones
* Support for flying in Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms
However, at this point time none of the quests or data since the Shattering and Cataclysm (patch 4.0.3a) are in the database. What does this mean?
* None of the Hyjal, Maelstrom, Lost Isles, Deepholm, Twilight Highlands, etc. quests are known.
* Locations for objectives in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms may or may not be accurate.
Nate is working on generating a brand new database that will have all of the post-Shattering information, but it's been uncooperative so far. You can help by submitting your data. Look under "Data" below about how you can submit your data and add to the new database.
Any support tickets, "/qh error" messages, or enhancement suggestions should go to the development site at http://code.google.com/p/questhelperredux/issues/list
Data
If you can't afford to contribute (It's okay! I still like you) then I also need your data. QuestHelper records monster positions, questgiver locations, item drops, and all manner of fun information that I use to build QuestHelper's database. There's no personally identifiable information involved - I can't get your username, your character name, your friend's names, or anything of that sort. The file I need is stored in the following location, assuming you're using Windows XP and didn't change the installation path:
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCO...
