Changelog

Complete version history of Raid Consumable Checker, documenting all features, improvements, and changes.

​

v2.1.0

Release Focus: Enhanced user experience with keyboard navigation This update improves the configuration menu with full keyboard support, making it faster and easier to add or edit consumables.

​

New Features

• Tab Navigation: Press Tab to cycle focus between input fields in the configuration forms
• Reverse Navigation: Use Shift + Tab to navigate backwards through fields
• Intelligent Field Skipping: Disabled or grayed-out fields are automatically skipped during Tab navigation

​

Why This Matters

Keyboard navigation significantly speeds up the workflow when adding multiple consumables or editing configurations. You can now fill out entire forms without touching the mouse.

Data Management

• All settings now saved in WoW’s SavedVariables system
• Improved database initialization and integrity checks

Developer Improvements

• Cleaner separation between UI, configuration, and core functionality

​

Upgrade Paths

Upgrading from v1.x to v2.x

3. Your old configuration from RaidConsumableChecker_Data.lua is automatically imported
4. All settings are migrated to the new SavedVariables system
5. You can now delete the old RaidConsumableChecker_Data.lua file

Future configuration changes should be made through the in-game Config menu.
