API

Changes

• The TOC version is 80200
• No files outside of Interface\ can be addressed by file path anymore

• GetFileIDFromPath() will no longer work for non-interface file paths.
• Paths to Fonts\ are still accessible for FontInstance:SetFont()
• Sounds cannot be replaced anymore by dropping a sound file in the Sound\ folder, but they can still be (un)muted with MuteSoundFile() and UnmuteSoundFile().

• C_ReportSystem.InitiateReportPlayer() and C_ReportSystem.SendReportPlayer() were protected to prevent automating reports, addons have to use C_ReportSystem.OpenReportPlayerDialog() now.
• Nameplates anchoring is now restricted to only those in the same anchor "family". This was done to disable drawing lines to nameplates.
• GameTooltip:AddTexture() now supports multiple customizable textures per line.
• The WorldStateFrame widget functionality was replaced by the UI Widget Manager API.
• ShowUIPanel() and HideUIPanel() are now protected, they can no longer be called by addons while in combat.
• /fstack doesn't show the global frame names anymore unless disabling the fstack_preferParentKeys CVar.
• Deprecated API: Blizzard_Deprecated 8.2.0
