The patch notes for the 1.6 content patch on
Test server have been released. Items specifically pertaining to the UI are:
User Interface
* Raid UI has been significantly improved. You can now open the raid UI and drag the name of a class to your gamefield to have a listing of all players of that class be displayed on the game field. Likewise you can drag a group name to your playfield to have the players in that group displayed on your gamefield. In either case the display will show the health, mana and limited buffs or debuffs on each player in the group or class and you can click on a player listed this way to target that player. You can then right-click on the class or group UI element to make some modifications to how the UI displays or to remove the UI element.
* If you cycle through targets with the Tab key, manually select a different target using another method, then quickly hit Tab again, your last Tab-selected target will be re-selected and you can continue Tab-selecting where you left off. Clearing your target will restart the Tab selection process.
* Items on the action bar now remain there even after they are consumed.
* If you shift-click on an item link while you are entering chat text, the item link will now be pasted into your text.
* Mail recipient auto-completion will now use names from your guild as well as your friends list.
* Hitting Escape will now cancel ranged weapon auto-shots.
* The pet UI will now be greyed out while you are mounted to reflect the fact that you can't command your pet.
* NPCs which give dishonorable kills have the rank of Civilian and show up with a white title background in the targeting frame.
* The effect of damage resistance and vulnerability is now displayed in the combat log.\
* Combat abilities which are fully blocked show up correctly in the combat log.

* Damage from poisons and curses now shows up in the UI after the caster has been killed.
* Players now receive an error message if they try to join a meeting stone queue and are in a raid or are not the party leader.
* TargetUnitsPet() is obsolete and has been removed from the scripting system.
* Added UnitInRaid(), TargetLastTarget() and TargetNearestRaidMember() to the scripting system.
* The GetPlayerMapPosition() script function will only work for you, your party and raid.
* Fixed an issue where chat window positions may not be restored to the correct positions when re-entering the world.
* Fixed occasional crash when speech bubbles are enabled around NPCs that talk a lot.
* Fixed occasional crash when listing a chat channel with a large numbers of players.
