Hunter pets can now be untrained of all their skills from any beast trainer in the major cities. Similar to talents, untraining a specific pet scales up as you do it more times: 10 silver, 50 silver, 1 gold, 2 gold, 3 gold, etc., eventually stopping at 10 gold.
Training point costs for all abilities have been rebalanced. You'll now be able to use all your pet's training points with meaningful choices. To help make "hunting" pets more viable in more situations, the Growl ability is now free to all pets.
Bats, owls, and carrion birds can now learn the Screech ability, a fast single-target attack that also lowers the attack power of all enemies within melee range of the pet.

The tooltips for quick Hunter shots have been updated to show them as instant abilities.
Feign death is no longer resisted by players.
Hunters are now able to rename their pets while mounted.

Items

We have determined that the defense statistic was being applied to items too liberally, causing those items to be stronger than they should have been relative to other items of the same level with different effects. As a result, we have reduced the amount of defense points on all items with bonuses to defense by approximately 33% in order to bring those items in line with other similar items.

The Seal of the Dawn is now unique, no longer has any cash value, and is no longer disenchantable.

Characters will now receive an error when attempting to enter a raid dungeon if the reason they cannot enter is because they are not in a raid group.

The Ogre Tannin Basket in Dire Maul should stick around longer if someone opens it and does not initially loot the tannin from it.

User Interface

New "Dressing Room" Interface now available! If you control-left click on any item, item reference (vendors, quests) or item link (chat), a UI panel will appear showing your character wearing that item. You can then use the same command (control-left click) on additional items to add to the preview appearance. In addition, the Auction House now has a checkbox in the upper right-hand corner; if checked, any item you click on within the Auction House will automatically be previewed on your character.
Need Before Greed and Group Loot options have been improved. The rolling window that appears when an item of the threshold and above is looted now has three buttons: a Need button (the dice), a Greed button (the coin), and a close button. Any players who select Need will get a chance to roll first for the item, with the high roller winning. If no one selects Need, all characters who selected Greed will then roll, with the highest roll winning the item. If everyone closes the window, the item becomes lootable by anyone in the group.
You can now disable the slow scrolling of text when you are receiving a new quest.
Opening the overhead map will now "ping" your location your map (to make it easier to notice your location when there are many friendlies nearby on the overhead map).
The overhead map now displays a directional icon for your character.
Spell effects that stack multiple times on a character will now display a number in the bottom corner indicating how many times the effect has stacked. For example, if a player has had the Sunder Armor ability used on them three times, the Sunder Armor effect icon will display a 3 in the corner.
A confirmation dialog is now shown when you choose to make an Inn your home.
The tooltip for spells like Seal of the Crusader correctly reflects the benefit of the spell, instead of occasionally being off by one.

You can create the directory Interface\Icons, and any 32x32 .blp or .tga files you put in there will be available in the icon list for your macros.
Pet spells in macros are now supported, both using /cast and using CastSpellByName().
If you omit the rank of a spell in /cast or CastSpellByName(), it will use the highest rank of the spell which you know.
While it will still be possible to override files in Interface/FrameXML, doing so is discouraged (and is likely to become impossible in a future release). Significant API additions are being made to eliminate the need for such direct FrameXML changes.
You will now be able to list .lua files directly in the addon .toc file.
The SetPoint() and SetAllPoints() script functions can take an actual frame instead of a frame name.
TargetNearest* script functions will only work in response to a button click or a key binding, to discourage addons which scan the battlefield for targets.
Addon-specific Saved Variables!
Each addon's saved variables will be saved in the file WTF\Account\{accountname}\SavedVari ables\{addonname}.lua, and will only be loaded when the addon is loaded.

IMPORTANT: The first time you enter the game with this change, you must make sure all your addons are enabled, or their saved variables will be lost! If you accidentally do this once, you can recover by quitting the game, moving your backup SavedVariables.lua into place and restarting the game with addons enabled.


Addon Loading On Demand!
If you add the following line to your addon's .toc file, it will not be loaded at the normal load time, it will instead be dynamically loaded upon request:

## LoadOnDemand: 1

You can query to see if an addon is loaded by using the new IsAddOnLoaded("addonname") function, and you can load an addon dynamically using the LoadAddOn("addonname") function. This function returns true if the addon is loaded successfully, and can be safely and efficiently called even if the addon is already loaded.

For your convenience, the function UIParentLoadAddOn("addonname") is provided which will attempt to load the addon and pop up an error message if it failed to load for any reason.

Once an addon is loaded, the ADDON_LOADED event is sent, with arg1 set to the name of the addon. An addon can listen for that event, and when it recieves that event with it's own name, it can safely access its saved variables.

An important thing to note is that when an addon is loaded dynamically, it doesn't have access to any of the virtual frame templates that are defined by FrameXML, including font definitions.

Infinite/Nan values no longer cause corrupted SavedVariables.lua file. (Written as nils with comment)

The script functions ChatFrameLog() and ToggleCombatLogFileWrite() are obsolete.
Added script function: isLogging=LoggingChat([newState]) (Returns new state (or current state if no argument))
Added script function: isLogging=LoggingCombat([newState]) (Returns new state (or current state if no argument))
New slash command /chatlog toggles chat logging (/combatlog toggles combat logging)
The file for the chat log is Logs\WoWChatLog.txt and the file for the combat log is Logs\WoWCombatLog.txt
Chat and combat log files will be appended to rather than overwritten.
You now receive combat log messages and damage feedback when you are being attacked by creatures you can't see.
