I hope to have an update for UE, XPGain, and the new PVP mod out today. Useful Extras will have the feature request where mail in the mailbox will have a simple letter (will be returned) or X (will be deleted) under the time left of each mail, so you can easily tell at a glance what will be returned or deleted without opening each one (with slash and menu toggle). XPGain will have the option to display the printout in its own 'bar/window' that you can move wherever you wish instead of just in chat. And lastly all have been updated to use the new 'merge' settings method instead of the old 'delete and update', so there shouldn't be any worries about needing to reset your settings after a new version.

Edit/Update: Unfortunately after a little testing, apparently WoW is setup so that if the TOC is set to any WoW version besides the current one, its labled as "Out of Date" and won't be loaded without load out of date addons checked. So I have two options, release the above three mods with the current TOC, then need to post another "Just TOC" update after 3.2, or post them with 3.2's TOC so they can simply be used just fine when 3.2 releases and not need another version but have them show as "Out of Date" with the current WoW. Since the PTR is probably going to be going for another week or two at least, I think I'm going to use the former method, and post a simple '0.*t' (whereas 0.*q usually is a quickfix) for TOC update once 3.2 is out for the non-Looter mods.

Looter has a new version ready as well, but that will not be released until the 3.2 patch is out. In the 3.2 patch Blizzard is (thankfully) changing LootSlot back to a non-protected API, so that mods can call it while in combat (so you can loot while in combat), so the in-combat check will not be necessary anymore. Also, Blizzard is adding an item's vender sell price into the normal API, so that mods can know exactly how much an item will vendor for without needing a SellValue mod (such as Cirk's LootValue, SellFish, etc..). Looter's already been updated for both of these, but neither of them are compatible with the current WoW version, so it's release will wait.
