They were never here.

2.3.0

• Quiet hints: one hint line and an Ask box at the bottom of the options. /skyveil ? <words> (or /skyveil hint) answers in at most 2 lines, only when you ask. No popups, no chat bubbles, no unsolicited chat lines.
• /skyveil debug reports carry a state line after the client lines: addon, version, error count and the self-check states. No names, GUIDs, realms or layer IDs.
• SkyveilSync writes SKYVEIL_LATEST.txt and SKYVEIL_LATEST_RETAIL.txt, a copy of the newest report per client, and has a one-shot --local-llm-hint (-LocalLlmHint) for a model on your own computer: one send, then it exits. A normal sync opens no connection.
• Skyveil Retail 1.1.0-beta: leave order 3 waits until the asker shows as leader (5 s at most), and Layers shows the last shard seen, marked stale.
• This site has a help bar (press / or ?, or Help in the header). It answers from Skyveil's own help on this page. A pasted report stays in the tab's memory: never stored, never sent off-device.

2.2.0

• Layers (Beta), off until you turn it on: read your layer, share it on SkyveilLayers (a visible chat channel), ask a host for an invite, host for others, hop checks and self-checks. /skyveil layerlog.
• /skyveil debug report with Save and reload. It saves the report, including the last 200 layer log lines, to the SavedVariables file; the last 5 are kept. Other players appear as hashed IDs; no chat text and no guild roster.
• An eleven-tab options panel. The setup repeat line shows your repeat window. /skyveil repeats with a value that is not a number says the range.

2.1.0

• Chat rules: block guilds, names, words by channel (say, whisper, trade, general, looking for group, guild, group, system). /skyveil rule add, list, on, off, remove.
• Blocked log in memory for rules, filters, guild veils, mutes and Skyborne lines: /skyveil log, reveal and unblock.
• Your 2.0 word filters became rules in every channel. /skyveil word add and remove still work.
• Spam, repeat and low-level whisper filters, all off by default, so an upgrade hides nothing new.
• Preset rule packs (gold, recruit, links, lfg, Non-Latin text), each previewed before you apply it, and share strings: /skyveil export and import, up to 64 KB, checked over several frames, previewed rule by rule before merge or replace.
• Profiles: each character picks one. Your 2.0 settings move into the profile Default.
• Alerts on your own client for rules, roster changes, declines, rival sightings, guild master seals, message floods and veiled-guild group joins: a chat line plus optional sound, raid-warning-style screen text, taskbar flash and screen fade. One alert per 2 seconds, a 10-second cooldown per trigger, off by default. /skyveil alert test.
• Blocked-line counts per day for 14 days: /skyveil stats, and today's count in the minimap tooltip.
• Guild needle notes and expiry (7, 30 or 90 days), and an optional group warning that names the guild only.
• Guild roster log: joins, leaves and rank changes, names kept only as salted hashes, off by default. Former members show as a former member with their last rank. /skyveil roster summary counts ranks and recent activity, in memory only.
• Minimap button (off by default) and an Addon Compartment entry.
• Setup in three steps (veil scope, presets, one profile or one per character) for new installs; upgrades see What's new once instead.
• Options panel with ten tabs, list editors with search, and its own movable window (/skyveil config). Help pages ten lines at a time. Every UI string lives in the enUS locale file. 2.1 sends nothing new.

2.0.0

• Guild Command: Private (beta), off until /skyveil private on.
• Alliance Sync (beta), off by default.
• Guild master cross, on by default; /skyveil cross off.
• Flood handling and a 2 ms per-frame work budget for sliced work and incoming addon messages.

Upgrading from 1.x

1. Log out of the game.
2. Download skyveil.zip below and check its SHA-256.
3. Delete your old Interface/AddOns/Skyveil folder.
4. Unzip and put the new Skyveil folder in Interface/AddOns.
5. Restart the game. A /reload does not load a newly copied addon.
6. At character select, enable Skyveil. If it shows as out of date, tick Load out of date AddOns.

Your settings stay in SavedVariables, which the new folder does not touch: the veil and every checkbox, guild needles and learned members, hand mutes, word filters (now rules), remembered Skyborne, race ids and declines. Every 1.x and 2.0 slash command still works.

What it saves

What it saves, in the SkyveilDB saved variable on your computer. Account-wide: character names and GUIDs it has seen as Skyborne and the Skyborne race ids it learned (up to 4000 names and 4000 GUIDs, only while remember is on); lower-case names of characters seen in a guild you veil, each with that guild's name (up to 4000); the guild master cross on/off; the settings version; one-time flags (2.0 settings moved into profiles, first-run setup done, the last What's new version shown); the profile list and which profile each character uses, keyed by character name and realm; the Guild Command data under "private"; a random salt for debug report IDs and the last 5 debug reports you saved (/skyveil debug Save and reload, or at each logout and /reload: addon version, client build, settings, the last 200 layer log lines, hop and self-check results and Skyveil errors, with other players as hashed IDs). Per profile: every setting (veil, decline, spam filter and its level, repeat filter and its window in seconds, low-level whisper filter and its level, friend, guild and group exemptions, alerts for rules, roster changes, declines, rival sightings, guild master seals, message floods and veiled-guild group joins, the alert outputs (sound, raid-warning-style text on your screen, taskbar icon flash, screen fade) with per-alert output switches, the alert cooldown, the group warning on/off, roster log on/off, minimap button shown and its position around the minimap, Layers share and host on/off and the host invite cap); Layers blocked names as hashes; your guild needles, each with an optional note of up to 60 characters and an optional expiry date (7, 30 or 90 days), muted names, guilds exempted with unblock or exemptguild (removed with unexempt), and the 2.0 word list; blocked-line counts per day for the last 14 days (a total, per channel and per rule; no text and no names); your chat rules (number, kind, text, channels, on/off, hide or highlight); how many lines each rule hid; and whether the 2.0 words became rules. A preset adds ordinary rules; the preset packs are not saved. Roster log, account-wide, only after /skyveil roster on: a random salt, the last roster you saw as salted hashes with each member's rank number, and up to 500 entries of time, change (join, leave or rank), salted hash and old and new rank numbers. A hash is the first 16 hex characters of SHA-256 of the salt and the lower-case character name without realm. No member name is saved. Not saved: the blocked-line log (the last 200 hidden lines with sender, text, rule and channel, in memory until you log out or reload), alert cooldowns and waiting alerts, the session name-to-hash cache and the names of current members it shows for this session, the roster summary (members per rank, active in 7 and 30 days), the group members already warned about, an import waiting for apply or cancel, the Guild Command send log, and layer lists and the layer log (session only, except the copy in a saved debug report).
