TotemTimers: Changelog

Totem Timers — Git and release changelog

October 27, 2026 — comprehensive documentation audit

• Replaced initial brief repository docs with a sourced concept, user guide, architecture, design, content inventory, decisions, roadmap, development narrative and AI collaboration record.
• Documented the distinction between native GetTotemInfo and the fallback's attempt-based predicted totem durations.
• Clarified Shaman-only display, four-element ordering, 23 fallback spells, shield/weapon behavior, warning semantics, persistent state, hook interaction risks and original Vanilla support uncertainties.
• Verified a published v1.3.7 release with ZIP/checksum metadata. No archive byte comparison or runtime test conducted here.
• Changed Markdown documentation only; Lua/TOC, migration script and test remain unchanged.

October 26 — attribution and documentation skeleton

• 8d80e477: standardized TOC author from Local to Babuni.dev.
• f6302d15: added creator credit in README.
• cf9e919b: created concept, roadmap, changelog, AGENTS, architecture, decisions and DEVLOG starter records.
• 997ccee7: linked those documents from README.

The current audit grows that preliminary record without modifying gameplay.

September 18 — provider-neutral name and saved-data continuity

Commit cdef17ea0b3f, “Use provider-neutral names and client compatibility descriptions,” renamed Octo Totem Timers to Totem Timers, the folder/module/frames/slash aliases, and the persisted root from OctoTotemTimersDB to TotemTimersDB. It retained the addon version 1.3.7, added Upgrade-SavedData.ps1 and tests/test_upgrade.ps1, and revised README instructions.

The GitHub release v1.3.7 was published September 18, containing TotemTimers.zip and SHA256SUMS.txt. Its notes state source/package syntax and migration tests passed and still recommend live-client verification. These are historic claims, not tests independently rerun October 27.

September 10, 2026 — initial committed Octo Totem Timers

Commit f6a0d3cd723c, “Initial release,” introduced OctoTotemTimers.lua and a TOC already declaring version 1.3.7, interface 11200, and OctoTotemTimersDB. Its 599-line Lua source already included elemental timers, empty icons, shield and weapon states, casting interception, native API option, recall handling, positioning, and Shaman-only initialization.

This is the first visible commit, not proof that versions 1.0–1.3.6 were each independently released or that development took a single day. Earlier local experiments, tester feedback and design conversations are not visible in Git.
