 ### Change Log
 
+**v1.7.1**
+* **Bug Fix** - Fixed an issue where the debuff warning sound and UI message would spam repeatedly on every aura update. The warning now only plays once per unique dispellable debuff type applied to a unit. Increased warning trigger range to 40 yards.
+
 **v1.7.0**
 * **Feature - Raid Marks** - Added tracking and display of raid marks on unit frames.
 * **External Addon Integrations** - Added a new 'Extras' tab in Options to optionally enable integrations with `UnitXP_SP3` (for ultra-precise 3D range and Line of Sight checks), `nampower` (for accurate real-time heal/buff tracking), `SuperWoW` (for robust GUID-based state tracking), and `ClassicAPI` (for native +Healing bonuses and fast 3D distance checks).
