Fubar relies on the Ace2 framework at this time.

Neither Fubar or the Ace2 framework are being updated by their authors/maintainers.

Move to a Data Broker (LDB) display, with DataBroker (LDB) plugins.

Data Broker is the newest incarnation of the idea that brought about Fubar and TitanPanel - a method of displaying icons and information on the screen.

Unlike Fubar and TP, DataBroker separates the "display addon" from the plugin. Any LDB/DataBroker plugin will work with ANY DataBroker (LDB) display addon.

This means that you can choose to use Bazooka (which recreates the look of Fubar), or Fortress (which puts each plugin in it's own LegoBlock, which can be placed, sized, faded out, font changed, etc, individually). If you prefer a different bar addon, maybe ChocolateBar is more your style. If you like the LegoBlock idea but Fortress doesn't quite work for you, check out StatBlockCore.

That's the beauty of LDB addons - any LDB Display addon can show any LDB plugin.

And on top of that, LDB plugins are easier to make than Fubar/TitanPanel plugins, and it's easier to include an LDB plugin inside another addon.
