Every unit frame registered fifteen unit events globally and then sorted them
out per event:
arg1 == this.label .. this.id or (UnitGUID and arg1 == UnitGUID(this.label .. this.id))
A string concat -- and on a miss a second concat plus a UnitGUID call -- for
every frame, for every unit event fired by anything in the world. Forty-five
frames in a raid, on every health tick of every raider, to conclude "not mine".
UpdateVisibility is the single place a frame's label and id are ever assigned,
and it already pushed the result to SetAttribute("unit", ...). It now caches
the unitstr and points the subscriptions at it, so there is one hook rather
than a set of transitions to catch, and visibilityscan re-running it five
times a second makes it self-healing. A frame that is not in use drops its
unit events entirely.
EnableEvents no longer registers them: a registration keeps its kind, so
plain-registering first would make every later RegisterUnitEvent a no-op.
UNIT_PET and UNIT_HAPPINESS stay plain deliberately. Their branches key on the
frame's label, and UNIT_PET's arg1 is the pet's OWNER -- "player" for a "pet"
frame -- so filtering them by the frame's own unit would drop them.
The GUID alternative is gone. These events fire once per token that resolves
to the unit AND once with the raw GUID, so the token form always arrives and
the GUID clause was only ever a duplicate wake. It dates from b7a0912e, before
ClassicAPI's TokenObserver made synthetic tokens first-class event sources.
Two teardown paths needed help. UnregisterAllEvents drops the filters with the
registrations, so the cached unit has to be cleared or the next
UpdateVisibility believes they are still in place. And PLAYER_LOGOUT silences
the frame while visibilityscan keeps ticking, which would re-register
everything it just dropped -- the crash 132 that branch exists to prevent -- so
the frame now takes itself off the scan list.

- Focus - A genuine
focusunit plus/focusand/clearfocus(FocusUnit / ClearFocus) - C_EquipmentSet - Full Equipment Manager with GUID-tracked gear sets (tells apart duplicate/enchanted items)

FAQ
What does "pfUI" stand for?
The term "pfui!" is german and simply stands for "pooh!", because I'm not a
big fan of creating configuration UI's, especially not via the Wow-API
(you might have noticed that in ShaguUI).
How can I donate?
You can buy me a coffee if you'd like
How do I report a Bug?
Please provide as much information as possible in the Bugtracker.
If there is an error message, provide the full content of it. Just telling that "there is an error" won't help any of us.
Please consider adding additional information such as: since when did you got the error,
does it still happen using a clean configuration, what other addons are loaded and which version you're running.
When playing with a non-english client, the language might be relevant too. If possible, explain how people can reproduce the issue.
Where is the happiness indicator for pets?
The pet happiness is shown as the color of your pet's frame. Depending on your skin, this can either be the text or the background color of your pet's healthbar:
- Green = Happy
- Yellow = Content
- Red = Unhappy
Since version 4.0.7 there is also an additional icon that can be enabled from the pet unit frame options.
Can I use Clique with pfUI?
This addon already includes support for clickcasting. If you still want to make use of clique, all pfUI's unitframes are already compatible to Clique-TBC. For Vanilla, a pfUI compatible version can be found Here. If you want to keep your current version of Clique, you'll have to apply this Patch.
Where is the Experience Bar?
The experience bar shows up on mouseover and whenever you gain experience, next to left chatframe by default. There's also an option to make it stay visible all the time.
How do I show the Damage- and Threatmeter Dock?
If you enabled the "dock"-feature for your external (third-party) meters such as DPSMate or KTM, then you'll be able to toggle between them and the Right Chat by clicking on the ">" symbol on the bottom-right panel.
Why is my chat always resetting to only 3 lines of text?
This happens if "Simple Chat" is enabled in blizzards interface settings (Advanced Options).
Paste the following command into your chat to disable that option: /run SIMPLE_CHAT="0"; pfUI.chat.SetupPositions(); ReloadUI()
How can I enable mouseover cast?
On Vanilla, create a macro with "/pfcast SPELLNAME". If you also want to see the cooldown, You might want to add "/run if nil then CastSpellByName("SPELLNAME") end" on top of the macro.
Everything from scratch?! Are you insane?
Most probably, yes.
