__ New in 4.36 __
* Added a new column to the fights panel, the DPS / Gear ratio. Off by default. This column takes the DPS number and divides it by a gear value (if available). The initial version picks up values from the GearScore addon (if you have it installed). Support for other gear value addons might be added later.
* Improved the Deaths panel to report all friendly combatant deaths, not just the most recent death for each combatant (the Recent Data Mode option has to be enabled).
* Added an ability to report a single detail entry for multiple combatants. In the bottom half of the Outgoing Details, Incoming Details, or Other Effects Details tabs on the small popup panel, you can double-click on almost any item that highlights in yellow when you mouse over it. Recap will bring up a panel showing that particular detail, either for all group combatants, or for all combatants who are not in the group.
* The Outgoing Details and Incoming Details tabs of the small popup panel now show what percentage of ticks (DoTs or HoTs) were critical ticks.
* Added an Add Suggested Ignores button to the Options / Ignores tab that will add the effects that Recap suggests you ignore.
* Healing numbers in the list in the top half of the Outgoing Details and Incoming Details tabs of the small popup panel are now actual healing (raw healing minus overhealing).
* The lists in the top half of the Incoming, Source, Outgoing, Target, and Other Details tabs of the small popup panel can now be sorted either in descending numerical order (the default) or in ascending alphabetical order. Click on any of the highlighted headers to toggle between the two sorting sequences.
* All fields for which you can do something extra with mouse clicking have had their tooltips expanded to include a list of those extra actions, along with an option to turn these extra tooltip hints off once you have them memorized.
* The Recap clipboard has been moved off the Options / Reports tab and is now a separate small panel.
* Holding down the control key while shift+clicking to post something in Recap will open the Recap clipboard and post there, for transferring into an outside program such as a text editor or spreadsheet.
* Recap now tracks the amount absorbed during combat by the Persistent Shield created by the Scarab Brooch trinket.
* Improved death count code should (mostly) eliminate the double-counting of priest Spirit of Redemption deaths, and pick up a few deaths that Recap has hitherto been not counting due to inconsistent Blizzard combat log events related to deaths.
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r907) included.
__ New in 4.35 __
* Updated for patch 3.3.
* Added Blizzard tooltips for spells and abilities in the popup detail panel (both when mousing over the ability row in the top half of the panel, and when mousing over the spell ID in the bottom half of the panel).
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r820) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
__ New in 4.34 __
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r820) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
__ New in 4.33 __
* Recap now tracks an estimate of the amount absorbed during combat by the healer shield aura Protection of Ancient Kings that procs from the legendary mace Val'anyr.
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r820) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
__ New in 4.32 __
* Added option to pause Recap when inside battlegrounds.
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r820) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
__ New in 4.31 __
* Several adjustments aimed at improving how Recap determines the end of a fight.
* Set End Fight Delay to a new default value, 2 seconds.
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r820) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
__ New in 4.30 __
* Updated for patch 3.2.
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r820) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
__ New in 4.29 __
* Modified logic for detecting end of fight. Fights should end sooner when unrelated combat is taking place nearby. End of fight will be triggered when nobody in the group is involved in giving or receiving damage or healing.
* Added a button for renaming a stored Data Set.
* Added a button to show recent events, and a button to show recent dispels and interrupts. These functions were formerly available, and continue to be available, as double-click and control+double-click on the totals line.
* The analysis of recent deaths is now displayed in the recent events panel, rather than posted to the console.
* For recent event displays where the incoming and outgoing events were identical except for colouring, the events are now displayed only once and are coloured as incoming.
* Added two buttons to the recent event panel. The double up arrow will if possible scroll to the previous end of fight marker. The double down arrow will if possible scroll to the next end of fight marker.
* Added a warning dialog if you have more than 40 Mbytes of saved Data Sets. Increased the warning for number of combatants from 1000 to 2000.
* Per-character combatant data is now compressed on logout or reloadui, and uncompressed again upon re-entering the game. This seems to avoid the Blizzard "block too big" problem.
* Added a setting on Options / Reports to post the two standard reports to the clipboard in tab-delimited format, suitable for pasting into a spreadsheet. The HTML and tab-delimited options are incompatible, and enabling one will turn the other off.
* Added deaths to the Report Fights standard report on Options / Reports.
* Changed synchronization to allow pausing while in sychronization, and to allow an ongoing synchronization to complete while paused. If the synchronization leader pauses or resumes Recap, all synchronization members will be asked to pause or resume.
* Changed Manual Synchronization to request replies (as before), plus request a summary from every member of the synchronization. Slower, but simpler and more complete.
* Dispel casts and failures (currently for Dispel Magic, Mass Dispel, and Cleanse) are now recorded as recent events.
* Updated WIM support, should work with WIM 3.1.1. Does not support WIM-to-WIM.
* Bug fixes.
* Five modules from Ace3 (r803) included. LibDataBroker (4.04) included.
Recap was originally developed by Gello (up to v 3.32); and is currently being maintained by Hawksy.
Change Log - Recap
4.36, 2010-03-10 - Fixed a bug that left the popup details panel open after mousing over an entry in the main panel (reported by Joshua); upgraded table clearing to use wipe() (thanks to Farmbuyer for providing a pointer to this function); improved alignment in multi-column posts; added option to collapse spacing in multi-column posts to single spaces (requested by Kratfrotz); added UNIT_DISSIPATES event (reported by Islowlykill); removed calls to garbage collection, and removed corresponding option setting; added new DPS/Gear column (initially using gear values from GearScore) (suggested by tamirbankatu); removed dispels from individual combatant row postings; rewrite (twice) of Deaths code to report all friendly death events so that we can see more than one death for each combatant; defined a time for the 'end of fight' marker in the recent events to be one second after the last event in the fight (will replace the '00:00:00.0' that previously appeared); added a sum of healing received as part of the Deaths report; added a few extra UnitExists guards; added a button to the Options / Ignores tab to add Recap's latest suggested effects to ignore; removed panel details drop down menu when the panel is for a Load data set, and fixed a problem with proper initialization of the choice in the menu; fixed a couple of problems with adding and removing Ignores (tripped up again over numbers that are numbers versus numbers that are strings); modified Outgoing Details and Incoming Details tabs to show actual healing (raw healing minus overhealing) in the Total column, rather than raw healing; added a bit of extra width to the minimized DPS and HPS slots; added a count of critical ticks, shown on the bottom detail panel for the Outgoing and Incoming detail tabs (suggested by ingnoon); added a fairly messy double-click function for detail entries on the Outgoing, Incoming, and Other details tabs, which posts non-zero numbers to the Recent panel for combatants (either for all friends or for all non-friends); add ability to sort Outgoing, Target, Incoming, Source, and Other details alphabetically by clicking on the headers; cleaned up a number of undefined local variables in all files; fixed a bug that would disable the popup panel for group or non-group total; fixed a bug that was preventing the spellID ignores from working properly; increased the end fight delay default value from 2 seconds up to 3 seconds; added helpful hints (in light blue) about mouse clicking to all relevant tooltips, plus a new option to turn these on and off; narrowed popup Panel by 40 pixels; narrowed Recent panel by 120 pixels and shortened it by two lines; narrowed Options panel by 60 pixels; removed the "Use Color" option; took the existing Clipboard from the Options panel and made a separate Clipboard panel; control+shift+click will open the clipboard and post there (say goodbye to opening the Options / Reports tab, filling the clipboard with a report, deleting that report, leaving the clipboard open, and then posting); fixed a minor bug with the Recent button on the Personal Details panel showing the wrong tooltip; added code to react to event UNIT_PET; added some special case code to correct the bad UnitClass values returned during the Faction Champions fight; abbreviated instance type/size in data set names; added duration (maximum of time out, time in, time heal) to data set list; changed Recent from a table of tables to a table of strings (efficiency); expanded the tooltip for the Fights panel top bar to give starting hints; rewrote Recap error reporting (improved design, and some was obsolete); replaced calls to DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage with calls to print (catch up to Blizzard changes from several patches ago); added code to close WoWChatLog on logout if it happens to be open (so as to not lose logged output); added a '/recap help' command; added ability to double-click a line on the Deaths report and see recent events centred on that event; added special case code to credit absorption due to the Scarab Brooch trinket proc shield Persistent Shield as healing for the healer (untested since I don't have the trinket, but it is clone-and-edit code so probably works); added killed events to the Deaths processing; added code to count deaths better, addressing a long-standing minor annoyance; fix for miss percentage for any effects that are just ticks; improved behaviour of popup panel when end of fight happens while the panel is open, addressing another long-standing minor annoyance.
Yes, thank you. I still prefer this to recount, guild opinion notwithstanding. It gives far better detail on my tanking handling of incoming, and overall output. Recount is pretty, but if you really want to see what is and is not effective for your char, recap is the way to go.
