Why does compatibility keep getting broken though. It's very frustrating.
Previously an Omen from 3 months ago would work just fine with earlier versions.
Now, omen from 1 day ago won't even work with recent versions. What gives?
Patch 2.4.1.8125 is being deployed on US servers. (And this isn't a joke. ^^)

Hunter
Tranquilizing Shot no longer incorrectly restricts use of other Hunter abilities in specific situations.
User Interface Combat Log
Only the last 300 combat log entries are now stored. Filter settings are now properly saved.
Changing zones will no longer reload the entire log
Bug Fixes
Fixed a sound engine error that was causing lock-ups on exit.
Fixed a shader error that was causing kernel panics on Mac PowerPCs.
Fixed a bug on Mac that was preventing the intro Cinematics from playing.
What's curious though, is why 2.4 is the exact time to do a full rewrite.
Wouldn't it have been faster to just make Omen1 compatible with 2.4, and then start development on a seperate Omen2 as replacement?
Obviously the author understands we appreciate the effort he puts into the project, but the way the conversion is handled is obviously causing a lot of problems.
The only thing that really bothers me is the "promote everyone" button...
I really don't see what that has to do with a status addon, plus it's a pain when you accidentally click it >|
Omen had a VERY nasty memory leak during our Mount Hyjal run. Memory keeps increasing 1 mb/10 sec and doesn't stop. This only happened in Mount Hyjal, worked fine in BT.
Noticed this in BT last night as well.
While clearing from RoS to Gurtogg my memory usage increased by 8 MB quite rapidly.
The problem is "disabling whispers" in the general tab, that thread mentions is as elsewhere.
And another post there refers to it as doing console reload... thats the most stupid remark ever.. as relogging CAUSES the problem. /sigh
Haven't tried the download file yet,, might do later.
Managed to kill teron and reliquary, but gurtogg proved to be very tricky with only half the raid showing up on omen.
People with a 1-2 day old version, or even 1 version older than some were not seeing the same people on omen as others.. it's quite messy at the moment. Compatibility between versions really needs sorting.
I would also like to know if there's a way to permanently save your chat channel settings for each window, as they continue to revert to different settings after each login :[
Heheh, this has been mentioned 4x now :)
Probably more,, but yeah, it seems to be a common issue.
Combat log etc seems fine, but i have an extra frame for whispers.
The whispers go into the extra frame just fine.
The whispers also go into my main frame however, and even though i disabled whispers for the general frame, whenever i relog it simply puts whispers in the general frame again.
If i check options the whispers checkbox is disabled in the blizzard ui. I can check and uncheck it, then the whispers in the general frame stop, but after relogging they will simply come again.
Getting an error that omen, and mapster can't find the library called acedboptions-3.0
This library is not visible in the WAU however...

I think that Omen2 has so many bugs and is so hard to even to get to work that im having my whole guild change away from it. A Rewrite HAS to be done to fix this!!!!!!!!
This "is" a rewrite, it's in progress.
Have patience.
All addons on the WAU are public beta, if you don't like using beta addons then wait until there's a stable version uploaded of this addon to curse or whatnot.

May want to look into that.

Pre patch:
Charge, growl, autoattack.
Post patch:
Charge, autoattack, growl.
So, post patch the charge attack power bonus is added to the autoattack rather than growl.
