# v12.0.9 (2026-04-10)

## Rebrand: Nem: HoT Alerts → Nem: Healer Alerts

The addon has been renamed from **Nem: HoT Alerts** to **Nem: Healer Alerts** to better reflect its scope — the addon tracks far more than just Heal over Time effects (beacons, procs, cooldowns, shields, etc.). This is a cosmetic rename with zero gameplay changes.

### What changed

- All user-facing text updated: title, options panel, chat messages, addon compartment, Settings category
- Internal identifiers renamed (`NemHotAlertsSV` → `NemHealerAlertsSV`, `_G.NemHotAlerts` → `_G.NemHealerAlerts`, frame names, slash command keys)
- **Existing settings migrate automatically** — your saved variables carry over on first login, no action needed
- New slash command `/healeralerts` added; `/hotalerts` kept as a legacy alias
- Addon folder renamed from `NemHotAlerts` to `NemHealerAlerts`

## All Healer Specs Now Supported

Nem: Healer Alerts now works for every healer specialization in the game. Each spec has its own alerts, sounds, glows, and options — the addon automatically detects your class and spec and activates the right module.

### Restoration Druid (unchanged from v12.0.8)

- Lifebloom Expiring — pandemic window alert + timer + icon glow
- Soul of the Forest — proc active alert + timer + empowered Rejuv/Germination/Regrowth icon glow
- Wild Growth Ready — combat-only cooldown alert
- Reforestation — Tree of Life next Swiftmend alert (talent-gated)

### Discipline Priest (new)

- Atonement Expiring — alerts when your soonest Atonement enters its pandemic window, with countdown timer. Tracks the most urgent Atonement across your entire group
- Cast Void Shield — alerts when Master the Darkness procs, reminding you to cast an empowered Power Word: Shield
- Atonement icon glow on party/target/focus frames when inside the pandemic window
- Void Shield absorb icon glow on party frames when your Void Shield is active on a target

### Holy Priest (new)

- Prayer of Mending — alerts when you have no active Prayer of Mending bouncing on any group member
- Prayer of Mending icon glow on frames where PoM is active

### Preservation Evoker (new)

- Reversion Low — alerts when your Reversion/Echo Reversion coverage drops below threshold (configurable for dungeons vs raids)
- Echo icon glow on frames where Echo is active
- Echo Reversion synergy icon glow

### Mistweaver Monk (new)

- Renewing Mist Low — alerts when your Renewing Mist coverage drops below threshold (configurable for dungeons vs raids)
- Enveloping Mist — alerts when you're channeling Soothing Mist on a target that doesn't have Enveloping Mist yet
- Soothing Mist target icon glow

### Holy Paladin (new)

- Beacon Missing — alerts when no Beacon (Light, Faith, or Savior) is active on any group member
- Eternal Flame — optional alert when Eternal Flame coverage is low (off by default)
- Beacon icon glow on frames where any Beacon variant is active

### Restoration Shaman (new)

- Earth Shield Missing — alerts when Earth Shield isn't active on anyone (checks focus, then target, then group)
- Riptide Low — alerts when your Riptide coverage drops below threshold (configurable for dungeons vs raids)

## Architecture

The addon was completely restructured behind the scenes. Each healer spec is now a fully independent file — adding or changing one spec can never break another. Druid players will notice zero differences from v12.0.8.

---

# v12.0.6 (2026-04-05)

## Bug Fixes

- Fixed a crash in M+ and rated content caused by a removed WoW API (`GetSpellCooldown` → `C_Spell.GetSpellCooldown`)

---

# v12.0.5 (2026-04-04)

## New Features

- **Wild Growth Ready** alert — shows when Wild Growth is off cooldown (combat only). Falls back to cast tracking when WoW restricts the cooldown API in M+/rated content
- **Reforestation / Tree of Life** alert — shows after your 3rd Swiftmend, reminding you the next one will proc Tree of Life. Automatically hides if you unspec the talent
- **Empowered Regrowth glow** — Regrowth icons on party frames glow when the Regrowth was cast with Soul of the Forest active. Clears when overwritten by a normal Regrowth
- Alert display order flipped: Tree of Life (top) → Wild Growth → Soul of the Forest → Lifebloom (bottom)
- SOTF alert text changed from "CAST REJUV" to "SOUL OF THE FOREST"
- Two new bundled sounds: Lamp and Redfox (15 total)
- All four alerts now have individual color swatches

## Bug Fixes

- Numerous fixes for Wild Growth cooldown tracking, Reforestation talent detection, and empowered Regrowth glow reliability in combat
- Death now properly clears all alert state
- Test mode now shows all four alerts
- Display section checkbox labels no longer invisible

---

# v12.0.4 (2026-04-02)

## Bug Fixes

- Test mode timers now display correctly alongside alert text
- Options panel spacing matches Nem: Pet Alerts layout

---

# v12.0.3 (2026-04-02)

## Performance

Major CPU optimization for raids and battlegrounds — reduced unnecessary processing from aura events, group roster changes, and glow updates. Most noticeable when joining a 40-player group.

## Bug Fixes

- SOTF alert no longer gets stuck when the proc expires without casting
- Lifebloom icon glow now fires correctly when targeting an enemy
- Ticker no longer runs indefinitely after disabling the addon
- SOTF alert state properly clears when the alert is toggled off mid-session
- Fixed a crash caused by glow cleanup running before glow tables were created
- Alerts now clear on player death and re-evaluate on resurrect
- SOTF alert clears immediately on Rejuv cast instead of waiting for the next evaluation tick
- Bell and Ping sounds now work without LibSharedMedia installed

---

# v12.0.2 (2026-04-01)

## Bug Fixes

- All alerts and sounds now work reliably in M+ and rated combat (WoW 12.0's secret-value aura restrictions)
- SOTF detection now uses spell-cast tracking as a fallback when the aura API is restricted in combat
- SOTF timer starts immediately on Swiftmend cast
- SOTF alert persists when entering combat with the proc already active

## Slash Commands

- Added `/nha on`, `/nha off`, `/nha toggle`, `/nha status`, `/nha version`, `/nha reset`, `/nha unlock`
- All commands also available via `/healeralerts` (and `/hotalerts` as legacy alias)
