I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but my assumption is that it is. Currently, EBB does not function on the 5.0 PTR or Beta. I HAVE been able to get it somewhat functional by updating the LibAbacus-3.0 file, this enables the basic functionality of the bars displaying properly.
However, there are some other errors that present themselves with the mod that I don't think I have enough (if any) experience in order to try and fix.
I have submitted a ticket for EBB and sent a PM to Elkano, but so far I have not received a response, so I'm trying to take some initiative to fix it myself in case Elkano doesn't have the time to fix it.
The error that I receive currently pops up whenever I mine a node (I have no idea why, though...) this is the error referenced:
Message: ...ddOns\ElkBuffBars\libs\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:987: attempt to call global 'GetRealNumRaidMembers' (a nil value)

Locals: <none>
I realize that AceEvent-2.0 is no longer updated, but I have absolutely no idea if it's possible to just convert EBB to use 3.0 (along with the other versions) by just changing all the references of 2.0 to 3.0 in its lua files.
This might be too advanced of a problem for an amateur like myself to fix, but at the very minimum the bar functionality is back, which is all I care about. :)

At this point, it's really time to either port addons to Ace3, or just let them die. Ace2 has been deprecated for YEARS, and porting an addon is really not that difficult or time-consuming; if the addon's author can't find a few hours over the last several years to bring their addon into the modern era, they're probably not doing a very good job of developing, maintaining, or supporting the addon, and users should move on.
There are plenty of up-to-date addons that aren't using dead libraries that can show you buffs as lists of bars. See Raven, for one example.
Yea Raven is good but there is one Keyfunction missing. The Bar-Snapping ... u know what i mean. If u used to have a "Enemydebuff-bar" and a "Shortbuff-bar" on the same location it snaps together and only shows when there are actual buffs/debuffs. Example:

Have you asked the author of Raven if that's something he'd consider adding?
SecureAuraHeaders are a pain :/
seems like you'll have to choose between stuff like group snapping, nice filters, ... on the one side and being able to cancel buffs during combat on the other...
e.g. can't change dimensions of a frame the header is anchored to and thus can't resize the container :/ it makes sense that you can't but still makes me sad...
it's pre-alpha since there isn't any ingame config... you can toy around a bit with the layout engine by changing settings inside the lua file but that's it...

thats really the function im missing in every other baraddon like this.

If you're not dead, why is EBB still using Ace2? >_<

feel free to leave feedback but don't expect too much...
what is the new "config-command"
/ebb
/ebb config
/ebb3

I think most of us just expect a working version for MoP ... nothing more :)
