DaedhirUI 1.1 released.

I've uploaded DaedhirUI 1.1 to WoWInterface.  The file might be pending for a few hours, keep checking back until the new download appears.

Get it here.

It's still got some issues, mainly in 25-man raiding.  I'm not sure what to do about that, although I've read that the Buffalo version I'm using is causing some major lag on some people's systems.  If you're having framerate issues in 25-man raids, I'd suggest trying to disable Buffalo and/or ZMobDB and ZuxanaModelCitizen to see if that helps.

This will be the last release of the UI until the 3.1 patch comes out.  I have a (mostly) working version of the UI on the PTR currently, although I'm waiting on a few library updates.  I'm also trying to reduce the number of addons the UI uses, since it's become kinda bloated and unwieldy to maintain.  My goal for 3.1 (DaedhirUI version 2.0) is to make a lightweight framework to provide the main functionality of the UI including graphics and layout.  This framework will be the bare essentials, and any other addons you might want to add to it will likely be easier to deal with.

I'll give more info on this when I have it, I hope to have the light UI ready the day patch 3.1 is rolled out.

Well, still waiting on some crucial addon updates. I hope to have the 3.1 version up soon.

More then happy to wait. Rather have it all correct then some weird random issues. I hate weird random issues. How are you liking Ark-Inventory? Been a few months since you said you were trying it out.

I tried out Ark, decided it wasn't my cup of tea. It really didn't organize things much better than what I can do with the default bags, so I chucked it. Glad it works well for others, but it just wasn't for me.

Ah. Oh well. I just like having multiple tabs to keep track of stuff. So any ideas on when you will have things up to date? Not sure what mods need to be updated. Kinda on a small break while 3.1 nuke fallout on the server's calms down :-)

I have my addons updated, need to do a little raid testing tonight to make sure everything's functional. I expect to have it up for download either tonight or tomorrow.

Things are looking pretty good at the moment. I've pared down some of the addon list so that the UI is faster than ever (especially in 25-man raids) so this will likely require a full reinstall of the UI. I also futzed with the scaling, somewhat on accident, but there are so many layout changes in Pitbull and kgPanels that I'd recommend installing the UI from scratch anyway.

Thanks for your patience, everybody.
