- This code is not quite ready for prime time. Do not run it yet.
- Loot events have associated unique IDs, enabling some new actions over
the network. These IDs are preserved as part of realm history. As a
result, the stored history format has completely changed (and requires
less memory as a bonus).
- "Prescan for faster handling" option, default off.
- "Mark as <x>" now broadcast to other trackers. Older versions can't
receive the message, of course. Future: Broadcast reassigning loot.
- New options controlling whether (and where) to print a message when
another player broadcasts those kinds of changes to existing loot.
- Names colored by class when that data is available; CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS
supported.
- Metric boatloads of minor tweaks and optimizations throughout.

| 481 When loot is manipulated, the history of previous loot entries must be scanned | |
| 482 to determine whether you already have any information for that loot. In this | |
| 483 case, "loot manipulation" includes things like receiving loot broadcasts from | |
| 484 other players, marking older loot as being disenchanted, and so on. | |
| 485 | |
| 486 You can speed up these actions by turning on the +Prescan for faster handling> | |
| 487 toggle on the <Options> tab. This is a tradeoff: loot manipulation will | |
| 488 go faster, but data from the prescan will use up more memory. (If you end up | |
| 489 doing things to every single piece of loot, you would use up all that memory | |
| 490 eventually. But if you don't, then that memory is essentially wasted.) | |
| 491 | |
| 492 This prescanning is only done for the specific realm on which you're playing. | |
| 493 Much depends on how far back you preserve history. The more history you keep | |
| 494 for a given realm, then... | |
| 495 | |
| 496 [option on] ...the more memory this option uses... | |
| 497 | |
| 498 [option off] ...the longer loot work takes... | |
| 499 | |
| 500 ...while manipulating loot for that realm. See the tradeoff? | |
| 501 | |
| 502 The prescan is only done once, during login. It will print out how much | |
| 503 additional memory is used, so you can better decide whether this option is | |
| 504 worth turning on. This also means that you need to relog or /reload to have | |
| 505 the option take effect once you enable it. | |
