MarcelineVQ 6f2789fd1c Update README and API header for v0.7.0
Adds World Markers section (new module shipping in 0.7.0). Updates the
Performance section with Lua runtime optimizations (allocator, GC,
string interning, pattern prefilter). Fixes Log Sessions documentation
to reflect per-day rollover. Adds worldmarkers, clickthrough, and
weirdperformance to the DLL auto-discovery list in weirdutils_api.h.

## Features
### World Markers
Place up to 5 animated colored markers (Cataclysm style) at any position in the world, useful for raid positioning, pull planning, or route marking. Requires party/raid leader or raid assist.
- `/worldmarker 1` through `/worldmarker 5` (or `/wm 1`) -- place a marker where your cursor is pointing
- `/worldmarker 1 target` -- place a marker on a unit (player, target, mouseover, etc.)
- `/clearworldmarker` (or `/cwm`) -- remove all markers
- `/clearworldmarker 2` -- remove a specific marker
Keybindings for placing each marker and clearing all markers are available in the Key Bindings menu.
Markers automatically sync with group members who also have WeirdUtils installed. When a leader/assist places or clears a marker, all group members see it. Markers persist across zone transitions and respawn when you return to the area.
Lua API for addon developers:
- `WorldMarker(index)` -- place marker at cursor (returns x,y,z,areaId on success, nil if no permission, -1 on failure)
- `WorldMarker(index, "unit")` -- place marker at a unit's position
- `WorldMarker(index, x, y, z)` -- place marker at world coordinates
- `ClearWorldMarker(index)` / `ClearWorldMarker()` -- remove one or all markers (returns 1 on success, nil if no permission)
- `GetWorldMarker(index)` -- returns x,y,z,areaId for an active marker, nil if empty
- `CanSetWorldMarker()` -- returns 1 if the local player is party/raid leader or raid assist, nil otherwise

### Clickthrough
Makes interactable objects and NPCs clickable through players and units that are blocking them. When you click a player or unit that's standing on top of a vendor, mailbox, or other interactable target, the click passes through to the target behind them.
Smart cursor targeting that prioritizes useful interactions. Instead of always selecting the nearest object under the cursor, the module finds the most useful target along the ray in priority order.
- Players blocking interactable NPCs (vendors, trainers, flight masters, bankers, quest givers, etc.) or game objects become transparent to clicks
- Players blocking lootable corpses become transparent to clicks
- Units (pets, NPCs) blocking interactable game objects become transparent to clicks
- Lootable corpses first, then interactable game objects/portals, then interactable NPCs, then normal selection
- Dead non-lootable corpses can still be selected when nothing more useful is behind them
- Disabled inside battlegrounds to prevent targeting objectives through enemy players
Can replace SuperWoW's `Clickthrough()` toggle with always-on smart targeting that doesn't require a manual toggle and preserves the ability to select dead bodies when needed. Disable corpse-clickthrough in SuperAPI if you want this.
No configuration needed, install and forget.

### Log Sessions
Organizes the combat, raw combat, and chat logs into per-character directories with timestamped filenames:
Organizes the combat, raw combat, and chat logs into per-character, per-day files:
```
Logs\<Realm>\<Character>\WoWChatLog_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt
Logs\<Realm>\<Character>\WoWCombatLog_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt

Logs\<Realm>\<Character>\WoWCombatLog_YYYY_MM_DD.txt
Logs\<Realm>\<Character>\WoWRawCombatLog_YYYY_MM_DD.txt (superwow only)
```
Every character login begins with a marker line (`COMBATLOG_SESSION` or `CHAT_SESSION`) identifying the character and realm.
If a log file for the same character was written to within the last 60 minutes, the same logfile will be used instead of creating a new one.
If today's log file for that character already exists, it is appended to instead of creating a new one, so a day of play stays in one file even across multiple logins or `/reload`s.

### Performance
Engine-level optimizations that reduce CPU time on math, rendering helpers, file lookups, and data decompression. No visual difference, no configuration needed. Included in `weirdutils.dll`.
Engine-level optimizations that reduce CPU time on math, rendering helpers, file lookups, and data decompression.
- **SIMD Math** - replaces 20+ internal math functions with SSE/AVX equivalents covering skeletal animation, particle rendering, frustum culling, collision detection, text glyph caching, and float-to-integer conversion
- **Data Decompression** - swaps the game's 2004-era zlib with a modern library (2.2x faster). Loading screen times reduced by at least 13%
- **MPQ File Cache** - caches archive file lookups so repeat file opens skip the archive chain walk. Saving 50-160ms every 15 seconds during heavy gameplay
- **Timer Calibration** - recalibrates the OS performance counter for accurate animation timing. Ported from [VanillaFixes](https://github.com/hannesmann/vanillafixes)

### Module Mutexes
Each module also holds a named mutex while active: `Local\WeirdUtils_<name>_<PID>` (e.g. `Local\WeirdUtils_transmogfix_12345`). The exception is transmogfix, which uses `Local\TransmogCoalesceHook_<PID>` for legacy reasons.

If you see the mutex, the module is loaded - and can use the Runtime Module Control API to disable it. If you don't see it, the module isn't active and you're free to hook those functions yourself.
