Subject: Upcoming 1.12 changes - Concise List
   This is a consolidated list of the announced (and sometimes observed) changes in the User Interface API's and functionality for the 1.12 patch. Please note that this thread is to discuss the upcoming changes and any clarifications or features that are a direct result of those changes, or things which we've been asked to remind slouken of.

IMPORTANT: Off-topic or entirely redundant posts are liable to get deleted. It is however in everyone's best interest to not post them in the first place - We'd rather slouken could spend his time coding us cool things than moderating this thread!

Communications
* There will be a new SendAddonMessage("text", "PARTY|RAID|GUILD") method that transmits a 'hidden' message to the appropriate group of recipients as the normal SendChatMessage would have been.
* Messages will be delivered as a new CHAT_MSG_ADDON event, with arg1 the message, arg2 the sender, and arg3 the recipient list ("PARTY","RAID", or "GUILD")
* The message will be unaffected by innebriation.

Inspect
* The inspect distance will be approximately double its current value.
* The SetInventoryItem method will also respect the correct interact distance limit.

Bug Fixes
* "Disable All Addons" will obey the character/all selection.

   In 1.12, addons can send hidden chat messages to players in the party, raid or guild, using SendAddonMessage("prefix", "message", "PARTY"|"RAID"|"GUILD"). When players receve these messages, a new event "CHAT_MSG_ADDON" is sent, with arg1-arg3 being the parameters to SendAddonMessage(), and arg4 being the name of the player that sent it. The combined length of "prefix" and "message" must be less than or equal to 254 bytes.

Q u o t e:

Will using "RAID" still work when you are only in a party?



Yes, in 1.12 release, if you are not in a raid, it will go to your party (and be seen as a "PARTY" message)


Q u o t e:

Will using "PARTY" or "RAID" send a message to yourself when you aren't in a group?



No, if you use "PARTY" or "RAID" when you are not in a party, no message is sent.


Q u o t e:

SendAddonMessage() does not currently work in battleground groups. Are there plans to add this functionality, or is it an intentional omission?



Yes, in 1.12 release you will be able to use "BATTLEGROUND" in addition to the other message types.
