IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 8.0 : As with every new expansion, many things have changed in the API, and it is REQUIRED to clear your Saved Variables for the addon.
This means cleaning the following files in \WTF\Account\<your_account>\SavedVariables : Altoholic.lua & All DataStore*.lua

There WILL be bugs if you use your old files without cleaning them first.
Some fixes to work around API changes are too time consuming, so cleaning is required. A meagre price to pay once per expansion.

How to support Altoholic's development :

- Use the donate button either on Curse or on WoW Interface
- Support me on Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/Thaoky , the page is still being setup, it might take a few days before it can be used, I still need a banner.
- Make a gift from my amazon's wish list : http://amzn.eu/7xWdnbZ

If you like the addon, consider supporting it, this has been the long term effort and commitment of a single person. #OneManArmy


9.0.008 (05/04/2021)

- Added an option to display an item's expansion level in the tooltip.
- Created a new library, LibItemInfo, with the long term goal to deprecate LibPeriodicTable and offer a different kind of information.
- This new library currently contains information about reagents and some additional items, to indicate to which expansion they belong, and in which bag
they could be stored.
This feature, along with additional features coming in future releases will help you better manage your alts and your bank alts.
Data has not been datamined, it has been manually curated with in-game data + Wowhead.
It is by no means complete yet (there is definitely more to come).
Because it is manually curated, compiling it does take time even though it looks like a small feature (I did this at my pace while working on Classic features).

The next few releases of retail should be interesting, stay tuned :)

Note: You used to see "Source" in the tooltip, this will also be deprecated and replaced by "Info" + "Expansion".
Only the latter will be displayed if information is found in LibItemInfo, if not, "Source" will be displayed instead.

Just head to the auction house, and browse the trade goods, it should give you an idea of how useful this feature is :)


9.0.007 (28/02/2021)

- Summary Tab => Fixed the faction filter not working properly for languages other than English. This was due to the character faction being saved in English instead of localized.
Reconnecting your alts is necessary. Players using English clients are unaffected.
- DataStore_Characters : Fixed the reported faction name for languages other than English (this is related to the previous line). This could cause Alliance characters to be reported as Horde. But fear not, the Alliance had not been infiltrated by the Horde !
- Summary Tab => Added a panel for the mythic keystones.


9.0.006d (22/02/2021)

- Fixed a localization error on "Hearthstone".

9.0.006c (21/02/2021)

- Fixed another packaging error of the Characters tab sources.

9.0.006b (21/02/2021)

- Fixed packaging error of DataStore_Characters (missing locales).

9.0.006 (21/02/2021)

- Fixed a bug that probably existed since a very long time in the account summary, when randomly sorting on a column that would try to get data
from a DataStore module where a character key was completely missing.
This impacts alts that do not have talents yet for example.
If you have low level alts (<15) you haven't logged in in a long time .. now would be a good time to do it.
- Summary Tab => Skills : Added the "Riding skill" column.
- Summary Tab => Added a new menu item with miscellaneous information : guild name, hearthstone, class & active talent spec.

9.0.005 (14/02/2021)

- Summary Tab => Added two more options to filter alts by level : 1-44, 45+ & 50+
- Summary Tab => Covenant Sanctum : Fixed a color issue for the current chapter being displayed as grey instead of white in the campaign progress tooltip.
- DataStore_Quests => Fixed the campaign progress quest status (related to previous line)
- Added a tooltip option to hide counters for hearthstones.
Namely : Hearthstone, Dalaran Hearthstone, Garrison Hearthstone, Admiral's Compass and Flight Master's Whistle
- Grids Tab => Added a drop down in the emissaries, to allow filtering quests by expansion pack.
- Grids Tab => Reputations : Fixed a lua error when selecting the "All-in-one" view, due to the "Chromie" reputation being missing.


9.0.004 (24/01/2021)

- Summary Tab => Covenant Sanctum : added a new column to track campaign progress.
- Summary Tab => Covenant Sanctum : added a tooltip of the covenant name to show the best covenant for this character (sources: Icy Veins & Wowhead)
=> You have to login with the alt once for the tooltip to show !
- Fixed a Lua error again when trying to get the soulbind's name of a low level alt.
- Characters Tab => Renown Panel : Fixed a Lua error when viewing an alt's renown levels.
- Fixed a minor bug that preventing alt's currencies to be shown in the tooltip.


9.0.003c (15/01/2021)

- Fixed a bug where a soulbind's name could be returned as nil and cause a Lua error.
- Fixed 2 Lua errors in the Skills panel of the Account Summary Tab.


9.0.003b (14/01/2021)

- Minor fix, forgot to include files in the Altoholic_Characters .TOC file.

9.0.003 (13/01/2021)

CLEARING YOUR PREVIOUS INSTALLATION IS MANDATORY FOR THIS RELEASE, AS WELL AS YOUR SAVED VARIABLES !!!!

- Following the addition of the offensive code by Teelo in the latest release, I have taken back control of the development based on 8.3.001.
- All changes by Teelo have disappeared and will not come back, at least not in their original form.
- Code has been updated to support 9.0 API changes.
- Summary Tab : added a new menu item for Covenant Sanctum data.
- Characters Tab : minor fixes in several places
- Characters Tab => Garrison Icon : added support for the command table missions of the covenant.
- Characters Tab => Covenant Icon (new) : added 2 panels for renown & soulbinds. More to come here.
- Grids Tab => Emissaries Icon : modified string formatting a bit to show to which extension an emissary quest belongs
- Grids Tab => Emissaries Icon : added support for Callings
- The following DataStore modules are no longer part of the project, and are not supported : DataStore_Rares, DataStore_Keystones, DataStore_Covenants.

Note: I reactivated my subscription on 28/12/2020, so not everything is in yet, and I still have to make further in-game progress on some things before they get into the add-on.

Many of you will probably wonder which features will come back or not, all I can say is some will, some won't.
