ShaguDPS 4.6.0

For WoW 1.18.1 clients, Interface 11200, Lua 5.0.

Dispels

• Added a single Dispels mode. Select it in the mode menu, then reopen the menu to choose Done or Received for that window.
• Count successful curse, disease, poison and magic aura removals, including offensive dispels. Failed attempts and casts alone do not count.
• Tooltips show removed auras, players involved and dispelling abilities when ClassicAPI supplies them. Unknown abilities remain explicitly labelled; no spell is guessed from the aura removed.
• Record aggregate counts in Current, Overall and saved boss fights. Old fights without recorded data show a missing-data message.
• Recording requires ClassicAPI with combat-log support, independently of the chosen damage parser. No full event timeline is stored.

Newer ClassicAPI support

• Show named damage shields such as Thorns when supplied. Older or ambiguous events retain Reflect (School) labels. Damage ownership is unchanged.
• Valid positive event overhealing overrides the health-based approximation. A zero remains ambiguous on older builds: it is used directly only after this session has observed positive overhealing and the target is visible with an absolute maximum health above 100. Other cases use the health fallback. ClassicAPI predicts overhealing client-side; it is not server- authoritative. Older builds, Nampower and the chat parser remain supported.
• These changes enrich future data; earlier saved breakdowns are not rewritten.

Display and threat

• Matching windows share sorted display data; unchanged rows skip repainting. Rates using live fight duration still update, while reports, resizing, scrolling and settings changes redraw as needed. Threat bypasses paint skips.
• Label server percentages as percentages of the pull threshold, confirmed in game at range and in melee. Pull Aggro displays 100%; its raw threat threshold remains 110% of tank threat in melee or 130% at range.
• Use target GUIDs and switch generations to reject replies associated with older outstanding requests. The payload has no target/request ID, so reply loss, reordering or other addons can still prevent definitive attribution.
• Regular polling remains at 0.5 seconds, with immediate target-switch requests.

Updating

Exit WoW, back up the addon and SavedVariables, and replace the ShaguDPS folder inside Interface/AddOns with the folder in this ZIP. Restart the client. Existing settings and boss history remain supported. Newer ClassicAPI behavior requires an installed DLL build that contains the relevant combat-log updates.

Validation

Lua 5.0 compilation and mocked regression checks cover old/new heal suffixes, named/unnamed shields and dispels, counter storage, saved fights, display cache invalidation, column layout, target safeguards and diagnostics. The new named spell and healing paths still need in-game verification with the newer DLL.
