RELEASE DATE:...........................................13-02-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.142-BETA
BUG FIXES
● The navmesh generation tool will no longer try to generate navmeshes for maps
  that can't be identified by GW2CC. If the map is indeed a problem and a player
  accesses it, GW2CC will report the error in a standard way so that its not 
  hidden from view and direct troubleshooting.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Unchained addons can be configured to a certain extent in the UNCHAINED ADDONS
  tab of the CONFIGURATION window. Players can scale the rotation time up or 
  down and trigger a weapon 1 skill filler to start running if the rotation will
  stall for a preset amount of time.

ADHOC
● Implemented meta integration with the overhauled PluginManager.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................06-02-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.139-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Tempest dagger skill "Earthen Rush" has been implemented.
● Fix a crash when Elementalists swap weapon sets out of combat.
● Fixed pets continuously casting skills when GW2A is set to only do targeting.
● Fixed an issue where entering and exiting the water would cause the combat 
  service to remain paused.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Increased the maximum override combat range from 2000 to 3000.
● Disabled the CAST ON SELF skill configuration option for skills that don't 
  support it.
● Removed the sanity check for player configured cast distances against the 
  skill maximum distance.
● Widened the configuration window to give visibility on more tabs.
● Moved unchained addons to their own tab in the configuration window to allow
  for future addon specific configuration options.

API CHANGES
● Removed all functions from the API that intervene with or modify the skill 
  selection and casting decisions made by the Combat Service.
● The API function set_combat_state() no longer turns targeting off, if script
  developers need to disable targeting in addition: set_targeting_mode(0) 
  is needed where 0 is the equivalent of no targeting.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................01-02-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.121-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Fixed overlapping skill chain casts when weights are used to prioritize the 
  order of chain starters.
● In some cases, skills would be selected to be cast before the internal 
  skill bar is loaded resulting in a combat stall, the skill bar service has 
  been optimized to load and prepare skill bars before the combat service makes 
  decisions to cast them.
● Fixed an issue that prevented a number of skills from respecting user defined
  cast times.
● Fixed skill chains from stalling if a skill is in a chain that isn't 
  accessible. Players need to be mindful of inserting skills that can't be cast
  because they require a previous skill to be cast in order to activate them.
  Inserting skills across weapon sets does not fall into this category as GW2A
  will swap weapons to get access to cross weapon set skills.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Given that configured skill cast time is key to fine tuning skills, the timing 
  value has been added to the end of skill names in all skill lists to provide 
  the player with better insights on what value is applied at a glance.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................28-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.118-BETA
FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Added a target blacklist. Players can manage these in the TARGETING tab in the
  CONFIGURATION window. Targets in the black list can still be attacked if the 
  player manually targets them.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................27-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.117-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
This update brings focus back to GW2A's skill editing feature and introduces a 
few QoL features and improvements to the process of skill configuration.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Added a skill configuration setting to adjust cast time. Players can use this 
  to adjust delays before the next skill is cast. This setting adjusts the value
  that the enforce no interrupt setting uses to wait before making a new skill 
  selection.
● Added an icon next to listed skills on the GLOBAL SKILLS CONFIGURATION window
  to better highlight skills that have a configured value.
● Added a clear configuration button to the skill configuration editor pane to
  remove all configuration elements from the selected skill and reset it to its
  defaults.
● Added a configured skills filter to the skill classification drop down box to 
  better visualize skills that have had their defaults changed to help players 
  quickly fins skills that have any change deviating from their defaults.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................26-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.114-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Fixed an issue with Ranger pet skill cooldown tracking.
● Fixed an issue where skills that were under the effect of Alacrity and 
  affected by a cooldown reduction mechanic resulted in them becoming unloaded
  and stalling or skipping a significant amount of player configured skills.
● Fixed Unchained addons inadvertently resetting GW2A's internal skill state
  resulting in corrupt skill bars stalling all combat capabilities.
● Bloodstone Shards in the Stronghold of the Faithful raid wing no longer
  intimidate GW2A and *should* be attacked aggressively.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................25-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.113-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
This update enables support for external combat routines that leverage GW2A's 
combat platform. Players can selectively add purpose specific addons as they 
become available. These addons will automatically override GW2A's default combat
behaviours once the character requirements are met of pet, weapon set and 
skills.

Unchained addons are purpose specific and therefore do not respect skill or 
combat behaviour changing configuration. Making small changes to your character 
will result in GW2A falling back to core combat behaviours as per normal.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Added support for Unchained addons. Addon status can be seen in the 
  PREFERENCES window under the COMBAT BEHAVIOUR window in a collapsed section
  called UNCHAINED ADDONS. Each addon will have an icon indicating addon status:
  ● A white struck icon indicates the addon is not loaded.
  ● A red chain link indicates the addon is disabled.
  ● An orange chain link indicates the addon is loaded, however, the current
	 character does not meet the requirements to run the addon.
  ● A green chain link indicates the addon is satisfied with the character and
	 will execute normally.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................18-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.102-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Vindicator's Legendary Alliance skillbar was restored. Until an endurance 
  condition can be introduced into the skill configuration window, Energy Meld
  will only be cast if the Vindicator's endurance level is at or below 50%.
● Added Legendary Alliance skillbar skills to the skill configuration window.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Added a configuration option to allow GW2A to complete weapon 1 skill chains.
  This evaluator will only trigger if the first skill in the chain was cast.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................17-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.101-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Revenant Riposting Shadows has had its condition cleansing attributes removed.
● Fixed an issue where some skills would share configuration through an internal
  chain association built by the profession combat behaviour.
● Same as above but for player created chains.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Firebrand profession energy mechanics while in Tomes of Resolve and Courage
  have been implemented.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................13-01-2022
VERSION:..............................................0.8.100-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Revenant Vengeful Hammers and Impossible Odds skill behaviours have been 
  fixed. By default, these will run until energy is depleted. Players should
  use the profession specific energy configuration to manage the lifetime of 
  these skill effects.
● Fixed an issue where navmesh generation would result in a crash to desktop
  while generation is in progress and anti AFK kick is also enabled. The game 
  client should also be more responsive while this operation is in progress
  allowing players to performe some low impact activities on the map they are 
  on such as crafting or sorting inventory.
● Fixed Revenant stance skills not listed in the skill chain editor skill 
  selection drop down.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Disabled a number of configuration options for weapon slot 1 skills since they
  make no sense to set.
● Combat behaviours received an overall update that slightly improves all 
  profession performance. Most notably: Untamed benefited the most from these
  changes.
● Added 107 new weapons to GW2A's skill recognition matrix, this includes the 
  new items introduced during the Lunar New year festival.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................11-01-2022

  overall damage profile.
● Windows can now be collapsed by double clicking on the title bar.
● Players can toggle a target indicator on or off in GW2A's configuration window
  under the GENERAL tab. The target indicator shows the skill being used by 
  the target, distance to the target, HP and break bar status.
● Added a reports window with two initial reports.
● GUILD MEMBER COUNT REPORT: Hostile and friendly guilds with a member count.
  Guild names are loaded externally and will take a few seconds to show the 
  initial list. Useful to tally up GvG encounters.
● PLAYERS REPORT: Shows friendly and hostile players sorted by their distance to
  the player. Useful to inspect player targeting information available to GW2A.
● A navmesh management feature was added to GW2A. Players can use this feature
  to pregenerate all navmeshes. The output is the same as what GW2CC would 
  generate by default so these are safe to use for botting.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................06-01-2022
VERSION:...............................................0.8.94-BETA
FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Added a label to show the interrupt time when making process interrupt

  Simply close and reopen the preview window to reload icons.
● Fixed combat stalling when an unweighted skill chain is selected.
● Fixed combat stalling when a skill on the standby weaponset is in an 
  unweighted skill chain.

RELEASE DATE:...........................................14-12-2022
VERSION:...............................................0.8.81-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
Bell Choir was already built into GW2A, however, it needs an additional mention. 
Players need to enter the Bell Choir instance, turn combat assist ON and pick 
the part they want to play, let GW2A do the rest.

Players can configure skills to be cast in a sequence using the skill chain
configuration option in the GLOBAL SKILL CONFIGURATION window. Chains can only
be configured on skills that are currently equipped. Chains can be configured
as openers and will be cast once when entering combat. Multiple openers can be
defined. Skills in a chain cannot be weighted, however, providing a weight on
a skill in a chain will add it as a single skill. Chain starter skills can be
weighted to specify the order of preference.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Bell Choir Ensemble is playable using GW2A. Players should enter a choir
  part and toggle combat assist on.
● An option to allow skills to cast on the player has been introduced. Players
  that previously relied on the Catalist combat behaviour to manage jade spheres
  for them need to set this manually in the skill's configuration if preferred.
● Logging was improved to reduce repetitive spam. This includes all services 
  that contributed to writing repetitive log entries making the log file easier 
  to follow.
● Skill chains can now be defined in the GLOBAL SKILL CONFIGURATION with an 
  option to classify them as openers.
● Additional optimisations were added to the combat service as a result of the
  skill chain feature being introduced.
● Saving skill profiles has been cleaned up and only skills with relevant 
  configured values will be written to these. It is recommended that players 
  load and save their existing profiles to take advantage of these smaller 
  files.

VERSION:...............................................0.8.61-BETA
FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Thief weapon skill bar propagation has been reworked and now takes dual 
  wielding mechanics into consideration.

  while the player is channelling another skill which improves overall 
  performance for all professions when high performance is enabled.
● Added a skill configuration option to toggle skill instant cast behaviour.

VERSION:...............................................0.8.57-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
Players can now save their profiles using the new PROFILE MANAGER window.
Profiles include all skill configuration including the settings in the
CONFIGURATION window under the COMBAT and TARGETING tabs that are specific to 
combat assist performance.

The last profile activated will be in use between game sessions and is 
highlighted in green in the PROFILE MANAGER window.

Profiles can be shared by clicking on the PROFILE FOLDER button in the PROFILE
MANAGER window and selecting the file with the name you would like to share.

Files are in JSON format for legibility and easy editing with a text editor if
required.

BUG FIXES
● Fixed a crash to desktop when using speed boost in WvW and PvP when a movement 
  inhibiting condition is applied to the player.

FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Players can now choose to preserve combat assist state between map changes
  using the PERSIST COMBAT STATE ON MAP CHANGE option on the CONFIGURATION
  window.

  introduced. Players can save multiple profiles, activate and share them as 
  needed.
● Configuration options that are exported with a profile are highlighted in an
  aqueous color.
● Disabled skills in the GLOBAL SKILLS CONFIGURATION window are highlighted in
  bright red.

VERSION:...............................................0.8.51-BETA
FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Improved Revenant's Vengeful Hammers usage.
● Added an additional toggle per skill in the global skills configuration window
  that prevents the combat behaviour from using weighted skills to fill gaps.
  This feature is useful if you are weighting skills to cast them to try and 
  combo those skills.

VERSION:...............................................0.8.50-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
Players can configure weights for skills using the global skill configuration 
window in essence, creating a skill rotation based on a skill's weighted value. 
When previewing the predicted rotation, skills will be chosen by GW2A in the 
order they are seen. Top most has a higher priority then skills lower in the 
list.

BUG FIXES
● Fixed an issue with some maps causing GW2A to enter minigame mode and thus
  disabling combat inadvertently.
● A number of Elementalist combat behaviour stalls were addressed.

  This collection of settings was introduced to allow players to disable GW2A's 
  combat decisions when all equipped skills are configured using the new 
  weighting system.
● Improved highlighting equipped skills in the global skill configuration
  window. Equipped skills are lime green while profession skills are white.
  Skills with blue and light blue are reserved for underwater use. Underwater 
  combat is still disabled.

  the global skill configuration window.

VERSION:...............................................0.8.15-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS

  implementation is not optimal, this combat behaviour update has improved the
  Weaver's overall damage performance.

  that makes better use of their skills. Lava Fonts and Meteor showers are
  prioritised to be used as often as possible resulting in a significant 
  damage performance increase.

  more playable minigames in preparation for the Wintersday Festival where GW2A
  is being prepared to play the Bell Choir.

VERSION:...............................................0.8.12-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
GW2A's skill configuration window has been extended to allow for more player
flexibility to be applied to skills. In the future, more configurable options
will be padded into this window.

For this release, the ability to set a skill as a defiance or stun break is
available on all skills. Additionally, players can also set a skill to not be 
interrupted regardless of the performance mode in effect.

Some combat behaviours were also improved to reduce skill cancels before they 
are cast.

BUG FIXES
● Fixed an issue that caused in game stutter when using Scrappers.
● Fixed a skill configuration window stall with Engineers.
● Fixed casting A.E.D. when gadgeteer is in effect.

  disabled since this update also changes the way skill configuration is stored.

VERSION:..............................................0.7.172-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Fixed an issue with Engineers and some legendary weapons preventing weapon 
  skill detection resulting in a stow kit combat stall when Toolbelts are 
  activated.
● Fixed an issue with the Mechanist pet not making use of all its skills.
● Fixed a premature cast of Mesmer Signet of Illusions.

● Improved defiance bar detection. The golems in the special forces training 
  area no longer have phantom defiance bars when they are configured to not have
  a defiance bar.
● Mesmer Signet of Midnight was balanced to be more of a self preservation skill
  rather than an offensive skill. If the player is stunned and this skill is
  available it will be used to break that stun.
● When OPTIMISE FOR DEFIANCE BREAK is enabled, defiance break skills that are at
  the end of a chain or require a skill flip to activate will now be used to
  break defiance bars.
● The option WEAPON 1 SKILL ONLY applies to all targeting modes instead of just
  Tag targeting. This option is useful to enable if the player has alt accounts
  in the background tagging from a safe distance that is out of range of the
  game's auto attack distance.

VERSION:..............................................0.7.168-BETA
HOTFIXES

● Players can configure targeting modes that can be cycled through using the
  assigned hotkey. Pressing the cycle targeting mode hotkey will skip modes that

● Non-hostile (but attackable) targets can now be acquired by toggling the
  HOSTILE TARGETS ONLY configuration switch in the TARGETING tab.
● An attack on aggression option has been added to GW2A. If this setting is on
  GW2A will only attack if the character is aggressed by hostile entities
  or the environment.

  COMBAT BEHAVIOUR tab: GW2A will reserve skills that break defiance bars for 
  targets that have defiance bars.
● Players can prioritise alive, downed or any state targets using the relevant
  switches in the TARGETING tab.

RETIRED FUNCTIONALITY
● Enabling GW2A's combat behaviour and selecting targeting modes have been

  built-in UI scale setting.
● Window opacity settings were removed.
● The immersive window theme was removed.

  some weapons causing GW2A to assume no weapon is equipped.
● Fixed an issue with Elementalists adopting Weaver skills with certain weapons.
● Fixed an issue that caused Untamed pet skills to stall and preventing the
  Untamed from becoming leashed / unleashed.

FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS

VERSION:..............................................0.7.102-BETA
HIGHLIGHTS
GW2A's combat service has been brought more in line with raid, strike and 
fractal performance characteristics.

BUG FIXES

  levels.
● Fixed an issue with tag targeting mode that sometimes caused it to stop 
  recycling existing targets if no new targets are available to tag.

FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS
● Mesmer received and overall update to its combat behaviour and should start 
  behaving more in line with its profession mechanics.
● A high performance combat service mode has been made available for players to 
  experiment with and YMMV. This option is available in the preferences window. 
  This mode also benefits from the standard performance combat service changes 
  bringing a more consistent damage profile all round.
● Overall skill casting received a slight performance increase when the 
  high-performance combat service is not in use. This brings a more consistent 
  damage profile all round.

  most used class for the upcoming Halloween event: "Works well with GW2A..."
● Added a configuration option to only use the auto attack (weapon 1 skill) 
  when tag targeting is in use.
● Tag targeting has been added to GW2A. When this mode is activated, GW2A will 
  evaluate the world for targets that haven't been hit by the player (not to be 
  confused with aggroed) and build a list of targets to cycle through and "tag". 
  When this list becomes exhausted, the process will be repeated with already 
  tagged targets. An additional metric has been added to the status indicator to 
  help players monitor the size of this list. When this mode is active, the
  collapsed status indicator will include a purple indicator on the targeting
  mode indicator bar.

VERSION:...............................................0.7.93-BETA
BUG FIXES
● Fixed an issue with tooltip styles causing them to be unreadable.
● Fixed an issue with the skill visualiser window not scaling to fit its contents.
● Fixed an issue with some skills being cast at targets exceeding the effective range of the skill.
● Specters wielding scepters will now have access to Shadowsquall when in stealth.
● Mesmer phantasm skills have had their attributes adjusted to guarantee more cast occurrences rather than being cancelled several times before finally being cast.

FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS
● A combat configuration option has been added to respect stealth. Note that when this is on, stealth attack skills will not be cast which would result in the player being revealed.

Some players have reported that input is not processed by the game client in some cases and an option to disable this persisted game focus feature has been added to the preferences window to mitigate the reasoning that this mechanism is at fault. Players can turn this on or off using the preferences window and report the resulting effect if this is the case.
● An option to disable GW2A's internal safeguards has been added to the preferences window. It is highly recommended to keep this enabled, however, popular demand has brought about the implementation of this configuration option. Use at your own risk.
