Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that.

Ok, first of all, this post is written in English because I want to collect feedback not just from German users. After 7 months without a really necessary update, I have to change some things due to minor compatibility issues reported by some users. The work I did this noon was mainly fixing bugs reported since the last revision 131 in October '08. I also updated some parts of the language files and decided to switch the whole Addon to UTF-8 encoding because of the Chinese version.

### Custom Highlighter

But besides several bug fixes, the custom highlighter function was improved. In the past, there was this nasty behavior of the highlighter, highlighting text parts within words. For example, you configured to highlight the word "Resi," and now the highlighter did its job and highlighted everything with the substring "resi." This leads to strange highlightings like **Resi**stance. Since rev 132, there is an additional option in the Highlighter screen "full words only." I guess I do not have to explain what it actually does.

### Some Denounced Functions

Actually, only two. The first is the "Dismount on Taxi." This function is now implemented in the Game Client itself, so no need for the Mod to do this. The second one is the Itemlinker. This module caused me trouble since I first implemented it. There are some other great mods out there just doing item linking. Currently, the WoW client supports so many kinds of links that it's simply too much to have this as a goodie function in a chat mod.

### Current Changelog

*   update locale zhCN
*   chinese wow client chatmod fix
*   Aizotu fix, ClassToNum
*   updated to current Wow Version
*   main files now UTF-8
*   Mod. custom highlighter UI added button for "only full word"
*   Custom Highlighter improved
*   general code cleanup and prep. for further patches
*   removed autodismount because client can do this without a mod now
*   Removed Item Linking features, why? type `/chatmod chatlink`

### Current Status and Testing

Because I'm not playing WoW actively at the moment, I have no possibility to test the new release in a "real environment." Of course, I did a basic "dry testing" of all functions, but you know there are many things that could cause errors you can't really test sitting in Ironforge ;) Btw, thanks to Hudiny who lent his account for rev 132 development. My request to everybody who downloads the rev 132 testing version: Please post any found error or strange behavior as a comment below this post. I will give this testing round about a week and try to fix all commented bugs on the next weekend. After this fix, I will put online a public non-beta.
