As promised, the first update to the close test of nUI Beta 3 has just been e-mailed to all nUI supporters and language translators. This release fixes most, if not all, of the errors that have been brought to my attention in the last 24 hours.
As with yesterday's release... this is a WoW 3.0.2 compatible early alpha pre-rerelease version of nUI and is *not* yet availble for public download. This version is available only via direct e-mail to the nUI's supporters.
There are (in my opinion) three key problems outstanding which are not addressed in this update... Integrating Omen3, getting the spell cooldowns back into the HUD display and, to a lesser degree, sorting out the issue with the warlock Metamorphasis spell.
I expect to do another closed test period update tomorrow night to nUI's supporters to address the issue with Omen3 and the in-HUD cooldowns. I don't yet know how complicated the lock spell problem is, so no promises on when that fix will be available.
In any event, I've spent the entire weekend in the code, so I'm going to pretty much take the night off and watch a movie or two before crashing for work tomorrow. I'll check the message board and e-mail a couple of times to makes sure there's no critical issues though.
As always... thank you to all of nUI's supporters both for the contribution to nUI and for the time and effort they put into helping me test and imrprove this mod. You all mean much to me.
How you can help support nUI's continued development: I am currently trying to recover from 14 months of unemployment and with with over $20,000 in debt (unpaid mortgage payments, loans, etc.), every penny makes a serious difference. Your contribution of $5, $10, $20 or more to support the ongoing development of nUI would be greatly appreciated. Click here to make a donation now, please?! Lastly, please vote for nUI and add it to your favorites list... it helps nUI get more exposure. Thanks for your support!

nUI's layout and scaling. For now... just uncheck this option until I can fix it.
