0.9.82alpha2026-06-13: Added more warband-leader tools: /ab wbleads, optional WB-leader tell alerts, ZoneVote, and AB scoreboard previews. Also improves /ab disable, template setting persistence, online monitor handling, and several safety/startup edges around auto-kicks, WB-leader data, ZoneVote cleanup, and warband refreshes.Wholdar151
0.9.81alpha2026-04-26: Added /ab disable and /ab enable to pause AutoBand’s warband churn without disabling the addon.Wholdar221
0.9.80alpha2026-04-24: Added a BackFill option for warband leaders who feel BackFill sends too many tells; it turns off most heads-up messages, but still sends removal reasons. Organize now tries to pair mDPS with tanks when the warband is short on tanks.Wholdar36
0.9.79alpha2026-04-17: Fixed a backfill edge case where sub-16 players could stay in warbands with rank requirements above CR16. AutoBand now removes them immediately instead of letting them enter the normal backfill trim pool.Wholdar80
0.9.78alpha2026-04-15: Fixed bugs in relation to the /ab scoreboard feature. Should now work as it shoudl (previously only - /ab scoreboard wb - gave the intended results. Fixed now. Also now done so only wb assistant or wblead can send the scoreboard-leaderboard to wbchat.Wholdar37
0.9.77alpha2026-04-14: Added /ab scoreboard (idea by Killz) so you can preview and post simple scoreboard highlights during your session to warband chat, plus a small fix for party notes.Wholdar26
0.9.76alpha2026-04-13: BackFill now on by default. Improved /ab org so healer careers are spread more cleanly, and clears now clear party notes when you leave via the menu (hopefully no more lingering /partynotes in the openWB-listing). Also tightened a few assistant/rank checks and cleaned up some config text/UI labels.Wholdar34
0.9.75alpha2026-04-11: Bugfix (thanks for finding it, Dagga) Promote and Protect now interact correctly, so Protect no longer wrongly overrides Promote. Also - Backfill reserve slots are now capped at 2, so AutoBand keeps fewer slots open while filling.Wholdar57
0.9.74alpha2026-04-08: Optimized to reduce client load overall. Also adds a short pause after changing rank and social-priority settings, clearer backfill adverts, accurate adverts around protected members, and small fixes.Wholdar39
0.9.73alpha2026-04-07: Now shows a popup if you suddenly become warband leader and autokick turns off, so it is easier to notice. It also remembers your last template and handles guild, friend, and ignore lists more reliably.Wholdar41
0.9.72alpha2026-04-05: Guild/friend priority now also skips too-far kicks, and a few search/color texts were cleaned up.Wholdar24
0.9.71alpha2026-04-04: Sorry about the insane amount of versions... fixed some more xml warnings.Wholdar42
0.9.70alpha2026-04-04: Small fix that resolves a warning in the addon-list/debug window.Wholdar19
0.9.69alpha2026-04-03: Added a new Guild/Friend priority option. Can now actually make room for a Guildmember/Friend by removing a non-guildie/friend that occupies said spot.Wholdar20
0.9.68alpha2026-04-03: Inspired by Kpihuss - added guild/friend priority options and an option to keep guildies together when organizing. Also cleaned up the settings window with clearer labels and tooltips.Wholdar18
0.9.67alpha2026-04-03: You can now set different minimum rank requirements for tanks, healers, and DPS.Wholdar32
0.9.66alpha2026-03-27: Improved race-restricted role ads so DPS icons better respect healer alt-spec exclusions.Wholdar106
0.9.65alpha2026-03-27: Templates now save more than just the role layout. Also cleaned up some messages and small UI bits.Wholdar37
0.9.64alpha2026-03-19: Added option to add "(no mic needed)" to the Discord-req message. Wholdar75
0.9.63alpha2026-03-18: Mostly work on BackFill, /partynote now shows if a AB-warband is in BackFill-mode, and also polished some functionality around that. (thats to Kpihuss for using the mode, so I could debug).Wholdar40
0.9.62alpha2026-03-09: Party notes are cleaner and should refresh more reliably. The config window has gotten some tooltips.Wholdar90
0.9.61alpha2026-03-05: Race names in race restricted WBs can be shown in a non-lore way, and rank requirements can no longer be set higher than what your own character can actually enforce.Wholdar74
0.9.60alpha2026-03-05: This update brings support for Realm Rank checks if you run the included poller. A Windows launcher for the shipped Python poller is included. Because this adds data that the game API does not provide on its own, AutoBand now also has new lookup and stats commands such as /ab rrlookup, /ab stats, and /ab csvrefresh. With the poller running, rank requirements can also make use of Realm Rank data. If you do not run the poller, or if it fails to update and produce the required CSV file, all Realm-Rank-based features quietly turn off and AutoBand behaves like before for normal rank checks. Outside of the Realm Rank stuff, this update also brings quality-of-life improvements to organizing and template use, plus cleaner and more useful chat and info output.Wholdar30
0.9.50alpha2026-02-19: Added the option to add "Discord req" at the end of search messages.Wholdar180
0.9.49alpha2026-02-12: NEW Backfill (experimental) lets the warband fill quickly first, then as players who match missing role/rank needs join, AutoBand removes the newest players who do not match so the WB gradually shifts into your target setup; NEW Form WB button for faster setup; NEW alt-spec option to exclude RP/Zealot from alt-spec remapping (default ON).Wholdar118
0.9.48alpha2026-02-02: Added arrival-order tracking + /ab arrival commands (prep for backfill), tweaked leader-promotion safety, and tightened party-note/advertise text.Wholdar130
0.9.47alpha2026-01-24: Changed maxlength of /partynote to not get strings cut off, but instead shortened properly.Wholdar135
0.9.46alpha2026-01-23: Fixed bug with autto-disabling kick-toggles, could happen when switching zones and such. Hopefully fixed now.Wholdar68
0.9.45alpha2026-01-10: AutoBand now disables autokick toggles when you’re promoted to WB leader in an existing warband to prevent surprise kicks (you can re‑enable them manually). Party notes: AutoBand more reliably detects and clears its own /partynote when auto‑partynote is turned off, and avoids stale notes. Various internal optimizations.Wholdar126
0.9.44alpha2025-12-27: Cleaned up /partynote so we dont use icons in there, could break if the line was too long. Added more often updating the partynote even if in combat.Wholdar175
0.9.43alpha2025-12-21: Changed the wording of the /partynote when not enforcing rolecounts.Wholdar111
0.9.42alpha2025-12-19: Automatic /partynote updates with caps/rank/needs. Auto‑form warband before manual searching for roles if needed. Role notifications are now prettied up. Internal optimizations.Wholdar83
0.9.41alpha2025-09-19: Fixed ad message bugs. /ab org now prioritizes placing the WB leader in G1 and better handling of distant players when using /ab org distance.Wholdar420
0.9.40alpha2025-09-11: Was obviously in a bit of a hurry with last release. This one is better with non 8-8-8 grps, when it comes to auto-organization.Wholdar115
0.9.39alpha2025-09-10: Bugfixed/improved the auto-organization feature - new safeguards now respect per‑group role caps without starving other roles. Also made changes to try to spread careers out if duplicate within a role.Wholdar113
0.9.38alpha2025-09-02: Added some zonename-sanitization for outputs, and a debug flag to the /ab org command for debugging purposes.Wholdar144
0.9.37alpha2025-08-09: A bug when having "Guild priority" enabled broke the whole addon (if you enabled 8-8-8 mode at the same time). This is now fixed.Wholdar228
0.9.36alpha2025-07-01 - Added an option to automatically kick players from your warband who are on your ignore list. The warband role composition (e.g., 8-8-8) can now be changed directly in the Templates tab GUI. You can also now permanently set a player's custom role by right-clicking their name and selecting it from the menu This update also includes several smaller UI improvements and bug fixes.Wholdar269
0.9.35alpha2025-05-29 - Auto-organization has been refined for potentially better group setups. You can now also organize your warband prioritizing players closest to the warbandleader using `/ab org distance` or the button added to the GUI. Players closer to the wblead will be considered first for core group composition. Internal performance improvements have also been done. Outgoing messages generated when searching for roles have received minor tweaks for clarity. The default behavior for some settings has been updated. Wholdar273
0.9.34alpha2025-05-16: Added the command /ab listaltspecs to make it easy to see who in the warband that has a role thats not the "default" for that career. Also lists why AutoBand think it has switched to that role (could be via the alt-spec-check, or via the /ab customerole command). Enriched the search messages for roles when running a race restricted warband. Also some other internal changes.Wholdar181
0.9.33alpha2025-05-12: Enhanced too-far-from-leader kick: distance is now configurable (default 150 units). Presets: default 150, long 300, far 450, max 600. Change it with: /ab settoofardistance default|long|far|maxWholdar155
0.9.32alphaChanged so the eventual guild prefix is only used in searches. The command is /ab prefixguildWholdar164
0.9.31alpha2025-05-03: Added ability to change the prefix to the users guildname (with linkage).Wholdar142
0.9.30alphaAnd as per usual I f*ck something up. This time I busted auto_note. Fixed.Wholdar137
0.9.29alphaMade it more obvious in the auto_note and search_roles that the Warband is in 8-8-8 enforcing mode, so people might be more ready for eventual kick when joining.Wholdar159
0.9.28alphaI broke the 8-8-8 formation logic in 0.9.27. Now fixed.Wholdar138
0.9.27alpha2025-04-25 ========== Fixes ----- * Added the missing zones to the *non-RvR-zones* check. New Features ------------ * mDPS override for bombers – treats Bright Wizards and Sorcerers as melee DPS. Toggle in the GUI or with `/ab bwsmdps`. * Same-race warband – restricts the warband to the leader’s race, with matching updates to `auto_note` and `search_roles`. Toggle in the GUI or with `/ab restrictrace`. Wholdar175

A great addon with potential for someone to adopt or improve upon, used to use this for PUG style defense warbands.
