### Change Log
**v1.7.4**
* **Performance Fix - CPU Spikes** - Fixed massive FPS drops (stuttering to 8-16 FPS) during raid combat. The `HealBot_CheckBuffs` function previously forced the client to generate hidden UI tooltips for up to 32 buffs per player on every single `UNIT_AURA` event. Tooltip parsing is now cached per texture, bypassing thousands of redundant API calls per second.

* **Performance Fix - Frame Rendering** - Eliminated redundant UI layout recalculations in `HealBot_Action_EnableButton`. The UI no longer forces `SetFont`, `SetWidth`, `SetHeight`, and `GetGlobal` lookups on every single combat tick (which previously caused 4,000+ layout updates per second in 40-man raids).
* **Performance Fix - Range Checking** - Greatly reduced CPU stutter caused by range calculations. `HealBot_Range_Check` now caches map positioning math and API calls per-frame, preventing the addon from calculating the exact same `math.sqrt` distance up to 5 times per unit during heavy combat.
* **Performance Fix - Unit ID Lookup** - Optimized `HealBot_FindUnitID` by pre-allocating raid unit tokens, preventing massive string concatenation and garbage collection spam during high-frequency combat events like `CHAT_MSG_ADDON` (HealComm).

* **Performance Fix - Unit Hash Lookup** - Eliminated heavy C-API calls to `UnitName()` during incoming heals by caching raid and party unit tokens in a fast O(1) hash table that updates on roster changes.
* **Performance Fix - Range Cache GC Leak** - Fixed a continuous memory leak in the range checker caused by string concatenation (`unit .. "_" .. range`) running every frame. Range states are now stored in a nested numeric table cache.
* **Performance Fix - Talent Rank Scan** - Fixed severe CPU stutter when gaining or losing auras that affect stats. Previously, inventory updates forced a full equipment and spell recalculation which linearly scanned the entire talent tree multiple times per rank. Talent ranks are now cached natively.
* **Integrations Bug Fix** - Removed stray translation text from `HealBot_Integrations.lua` that caused Lua syntax errors on load.
* **Feature - HoT Tracking** - Added an option in the Integrations tab to track Player-cast HoT timers in a dedicated list below the main HealBot frame. Requires Nampower, SuperWoW, or ClassicAPI to fetch exact durations. Added support for tracking Power Word: Shield.
* **Performance Fix - HoT Tracker GC Leak** - Fixed a massive Lua garbage collection memory leak in the HoT tracker that spawned hundreds of tables per second during `OnUpdate`. Converted the tracker loop to utilize a pre-allocated static cache array.
* **Bug Fix - HoT Tracker GUID Resolution** - Fixed an issue where the HoT tracker displayed "Unknown" or the raw GUID when casting on non-party members or dropping your target. The tracker now hooks `UNIT_AURA` events to dynamically build a permanent GUID-to-Name cache map.
* **Bug Fix - Player GUID Tracking** - Implemented precise player GUID trapping that caches the player's exact GUID globally upon their first aura cast. This completely eliminates self-cast tracking fallbacks and natively resolves self-targeted HoT names instantly.
* **Bug Fix - Options UI Spacing** - Fixed inverted XML `y` offset variables in `HealBot_Options_Integrations.xml` that caused overlapping checkboxes and missing text when navigating the Integrations tab.
* **Feature - HoT Tracking** - Added an option in the Integrations tab to track Player-cast HoT timers in a dedicated list below the main HealBot frame. Requires Nampower, SuperWoW, or ClassicAPI to fetch exact durations. Added support for tracking Power Word: Shield. Implemented with a pre-allocated static cache array for zero GC leaks, and precise GUID trapping for instant name resolution on self and non-party members.
**v1.7.3**
* **Performance Fix - Table Pooling Part 2** - Fixed remaining un-pooled table allocations in layout updates, macro parsing, nampower integration, and aura tracking by utilizing HealBot_GetTable().
