Piece of Justice - the future

History

I started PoJ as a little addon back in vanilla, mainly because my macro code started to extend the 255 character limit. I added more functionality over the years, most of them coming form my own or my friends' ideas, and now it's a collection of versatile stuff that does not really match together.

Furthermore, I had to change working code a lot over the years because Blizzard's changes to the WoW API, especially regarding security issues. So, the formerly working parts were not so smooth running as before, and there are some minor errors for which I still do not have any clue where they come from.

With the release of WoW Classic I started converting PoJ - and it was a mess. Mixing the current version with the original beta version from vanilla running on the Legion API was sheer impossible for this addon that hooks deeply into WoW's native GUI.


Consequences

Because of these three reasons I decided the following:

  1. I am going to remove single features from PoJ now and then and create new small addons from them (if there is no other addon already out there).
  2. If suitable, I will convert these addons for WoW Classic and release both versions together.
  3. After updating PoJ and logging in, it will notify you (once) about each removed features you actively used and how to deal with it in the case you want to continue to use that specific feature, e.g by announcing the new addon name so you can get it from Twitch.
The decision which featuere will be removed will depend on the following:
  1. The feature would be cool to have in WoW Classic.
  2. The feature is buggy in PoJ.
  3. Future WoW API changes invole changing code for the feature.
