- Decouple OnValueChanged from OnDataChanged to prevent expensive
full updates on every HP tick
- Replace UnitAffectingCombat(guid) with GetUnitField(flags) bitcheck
and add 0.2s per-GUID throttle cache for GetCombatStateColor
- Gate HP bar SetMinMaxValues/SetValue and text formatting behind
hp/hpmax change detection
- Inline castbar update into per-plate OnUpdate loop, remove dedicated
castbarFrame overhead
- Switch debuff slot cache from name-keyed to slot-index-keyed to fix
timer reset bug when debuffs shift after expiry
- Add raidGuidCache (rebuilt on RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE/PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED)
for O(1) offtank target-name lookup
- Add UNIT_FLAGS_GUID event support for instant combat flag notification
(Nampower)
- Extract RebuildOfftanks() to ensure offtanks table is populated at
startup, not only on config change
- Reuse childs table across scan ticks to reduce GC pressure
- Add zoominstant config option to skip zoom animation
- Add combatColorCache cleanup on plate hide and combat leave
Please report any bugs that appear after this change, since it is a huge change.
Fix stale debuff icons/tooltips on target frame after target swap
Fix debuffs not showing on nameplates for timer-less spells (e.g. Hurricane)
Fix buffwatch timer visually speeding up when another debuff fades
Remove 50ms aura cache (slotMapCache/auraFC) - caused stale debuff data
Remove "Show Only Own Debuffs" from unitframes and nameplates GUI
Force selfdebuff=0 for unitframes/nameplates on login to reset old SavedVariables
- use SPELL_DELAYED_SELF (nampower) for cast pushback instead of pfGetCastInfo
- use SPELLCAST_CHANNEL_UPDATE remaining time for channel pushback
- move SetMinMaxValues outside endTime guard so bar visually extends on pushback
Master and experiment users no longer cross-notify each other about updates. The version message now includes a branch tag (master or exp) derived from the toc version string at runtime — only players on the same branch trigger the update notification. No config needed, works automatically.

Changing parent from nameplate.health to plate allows raid icons to be shown even when nameplate health bar isn't shown.
Particularly useful if you have friendly nameplate healthbars disabled and friendlies have raid marks (e.g. tanks, marked player to stack on, etc)
Problem:
Since a recent Turtle-WoW update, nameplates would show the same castbar on all mobs sharing a name (e.g. multiple "Defias Rogue Wizard"). Additionally, a targeted mob that was not casting would incorrectly display the castbar of a nearby mob with the same name.
Changes:
**`modules/nameplates.lua`**
- Removed `hasNampower` version-sniffing entirely. Nampower is a hard requirement for pfUI; all related guards have been removed and the code runs unconditionally.
- Castbar lookup now always uses `nameplate.cachedGuid` directly — never `GetUnitGUID("target")` or a unit name string.
- Removed dead fallback block using `UnitCastingInfo("target")`.
- Restored fallback via `pfGetCastInfo(cachedGuid)` / `pfGetChannelInfo(cachedGuid)` (see libcast changes below) for casts not tracked by libdebuff (e.g. already-in-progress casts on login).
**`libs/libcast.lua`**
- Renamed `UnitCastingInfo` → `pfGetCastInfo` and `UnitChannelInfo` → `pfGetChannelInfo` to avoid confusion with the Blizzard API of the same name, which does not exist in Vanilla.
- Name-based fallback lookup (`libcast.db[unitName]`) is now skipped when a GUID is available. This prevents cast bleed between mobs that share a name.
**`libs/libpredict.lua`, `modules/castbar.lua`, `modules/afkcam.lua`**
- Updated all call sites to use the renamed `pfGetCastInfo` / `pfGetChannelInfo`.
