This update fixes a bug introduced into the bag bar as of today's WoW 3.0.8 patch. It also fixes a bug in the nUI_AuraBars plugin which caused long aura names to overlap the countdown timer. Finally, it adds back the chat frame menu bubble for emotes and language selection.
As always, please report any bugs you come across at the official support site at
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=16845 if at all possible. Otherwise, bugs can be reported on any of the nUI comment boards or via direct e-mail to me at

Version 4.14.00 (Beta)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added the chat frame menu button back to the chat frame (for emotes and languages)
* Fixed a bug in the button bag introduced by WoW patch 3.0.8
* Modified the aura bar labels to support a fixed height and width to provide for
either word wrapping or truncation aura names that would overflow the space -- users
who have installed nUI_AuraBars and are having issues with long aura names overlapping
the aura timers will need to download v1.02.00 of the nUI_AuraBars plugin
* Fixed a rendering artifact in dynamically sized aura bars where the size was not
reset to zero when the underlying unit dies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues in nUI...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- WotLK issues still outstanding
* When using the mounts that can carry vendors, the dismount button is not being displayed
in nUI (note: until this gets fix, you can right-click the aura to dismount)
-- generic issues outstanding
* If you remove a fubar top panel, the nUI top panel redraws to the middle of the screen.
It is full width and takes up about 20% of the middle of the field of view vertically.
* Enabling the "Use UI Scale" option in the Bliz video configuration menu blows up
nUI's layout and scaling. For now... just uncheck this option until I can fix it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known compatibility issues with third party mods...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Guild Event Manager is moving its minimap button back to the minimap out of the button
bag whenever the player clicks on it. A minute or so later, nUI's button bag logic
will see the button moved and return it to the button bag.
* Carbonite is having issues updating the directional arrow when the minimap and/or
battlefield minimap is hidden in the info panel
* Poison Pouch mod minimap button is missed by button bag
* Alpha Map minimap button is not scaling correctly in button bag
* nUI and Capping are not playing well... Capping's modification of the battlefield
minimap is interfering with nUI's info panel management of the map
* Titan Panel is causing an error when the bottom bar is enabled
* Titan panel mouseover tooltips are not compatible with nUI's fixed position
tooltip option
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Bliz / nUI compatibility issues...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Right clicking a unit frame and selecting "set focus" taints in combat == this is
a known bug since WoW 3.0.2 and is beyond nUI's control. Hopefully Bliz will address
it in the next patch (or two or three or twenty). You can target the desired focus
and then type '/focus' to aquire a focus frame until Bliz resolves this issue.
* Switching between windowed and non-windowed mode breaks nUI's textures and HUD -- this
is caused by a known Bliz bug in their video driver code and applies only to certain
graphics cards and video drivers. It is nearly random in terms of which mods it will
impact... anything from very complex to completely trivial mods are broken by this
bug but it is always mods that use custom textures. There is no fix. The only
workaround is to (a) avoid switching between windowed and non-windowed modes as much
as possible and use '/nui rl' to reload the user interface when it gets broken. It is
worth noting this bug affects Macs most often, but also impacts some PCs (such as
mine). This bug has been a round a very long time and no telling if or when it will
ever be fixed.
* If your mouse buttons 4 and 5 do not work for click-casting on unit frames, make
sure your mouse driver is sending mouse button clicks and not key presses. You can
do this by going to the key binding interface and trying to bind autorun to mouse
button 4. If the key binding does not say "Button 4" or "Mouse Button 4" then the
issue is your mouse driver or driver settings. Bliz does not support key-presses
as mouse clicks directly and mods like Clique cannot detect key presses in that way.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To-Do List / Planned features
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The 15, 20, 25 and 40 man raid panels are not in the pre-release... both because I am
not quite satisfied with them and, again, I'm trying to not have to fix everything at
once... make sure the core stuff is all working, then add the bells and whistles if
you understand.

* Add vehicle frame/mode integration to the dashboard
