Upgrade from a previous add-on name
If you used this add-on under a previous folder name, migrate your saved data
before playing with the new installation. A normal file replacement is not
enough when the folder and saved-variable names change.
Fully close the game. Keep the previous add-on installed for this step.

Commits 828c6a0, afcc482, 307eeb0 and 7ce832b standardized Babuni.dev authorship and added/linked a brief initial documentation set. The current pass expands it into a…
The TOC actually lists Rolls.lua first, then LootFeed.lua. The game uses the Vanilla-style globals event, arg1 and this; no modern loot-history API, external…
The feed is meant to be noticed briefly, not always visible. Standard entries are dark, compact rows that show a recognisable item icon, rarity-colored title and stack count.…
The code tells us what changed; it cannot prove the full design debate or who typed each implementation line in September.
The initial Octo Loot design and its evolution into LootFeed are part of Babuni.dev's creative portfolio. The project idea—short, interactive loot messages with low UI…
Does hover pausing the entire feed feel right in intense loot moments? Should the addon ask before changing showLootSpam? Should the group roll display offer greater…
The addon references the game client's item/icon textures, not bundled custom artwork. The dice icon is composed in Lua from a square and five little pips, avoiding a…
