I always play with BT4 and i never get those taint errors. :)

Quote from cremor

Wouldn't it make more sense to rename it to "Leave Vehicle Bar" or "Leave Vehicle Button"?

Quote from Phanx

...being able to have my actual bar switch to vehicle abilities instead of having the huge ugly Blizzard vehicle art bar appear, the spell/macro direct binding plugin, ...

I kinda have to taint that function, the flyouts are stupidly implemented.
I guess this is related to the Totem Bar?

University and work has been very demanding the last few month, but at least University is over for good now (yay), and all i have to worry about is work .. however i still wanted to give you guys an update on the state and plans of Bartender.

The 4.4 branch

Work on the released 4.4 version has been slow, and i'm afraid it'll stay that way. It doesn't have any serious bugs, and if those come up, i'll of course fix them, but i don't plan to actually implement new features anymore.

The future

What i do have planned for Bartender is a big new version currently planned to be 4.5. This version is planned to be released for Cataclysm, but once the UI changes for Cataclysm get out, and if it will be possible to easily make it compatible with the 3.x server, i might release it sooner.

The big plans are more dynamic action bar designs. That means, that you'll be able to layout your bars in any way you can imagine, not limited to the 10 bars with 12 buttons that we have now, but any number of bars with any number of buttons.
You'll have the choice to stay with the 120 button limit and use the server-side action buttons, or use an unlimited amount of new buttons that are saved on the client.

The configuration will be split in a "simple mode" which basically emulates most of the things Bartender does now, and an advanced mode that actually gives you access to the full spectrum of Bar layout.

I'm still drafting out specifics as i need them, but it is supposed to be the ultimate action bar addon, without adding a heavy burden on the users performance. This might sound like a conflicting goal, however, its really not that hard, you just have to properly turn off the features that are not used by the user, and all the features in the world wouldn't make it slower. ;)

Anyway, back to work!

Quote from Kerecha

Btw, is there any chanse with all of the cata changes that the micromenu will ever be skinned aswell?

Quote from Nevcairiel

Its me again, with new plans to share!

My long-term plans outlined in my previous post (here) are still valid and on the board, but still a bit away.

In the short to mid term, i cooked up this roadmap of issues/improvements to work on, and get a new version out the door.

This is basically a list of the tickets open on Bartender, condensed a bit and some stuff added that i wanted to do.

Does anyone have another genuine request that would make Bartender better?
Please tell me now, so i can plan for all those changes!

I plan to fix all this over the next two month or so, so a new release isnt that far out.

Quote from Phanx

Also, action bars that use state handling (eg. change page on form switch, etc.) being broken is a known issue on Blizzard's end at the moment.

Quote from Alterno

I'm talking about the borders around the buttons, these don't appear in Dominos, would like to know if is possible to hide those in Bartender4
