Posted Mar 19, 2026Downloaded it, got it to work, loving it. I'm literally crying right now, because Pitbull is sooooo much better than ANY other UI addon available right now. God, I missed it so much. Thank you, for not giving up on it and getting it to work, even if there might be some problems.
I decided to just start fresh, deleted all my saved variables and recreate my old layouts from scratch. So far its' working like a charm, noticed almost no problems so far.

Posted Mar 17, 2026Sorry, that last 10% really is like 120% T.T If you're feeling adventurous and have a backup of your SavedVariables, you can try https://github.com/nebularg/PitBull4/tree/midnight. I got mostly done but then had to stop procrastinating and finish work for the rwf.
Caveats:
- Unsupported units (Ntargettarget) are purged from the config
- LuaTexts changed a lot and you'll probably have to reset yours
- Aura filters changed a lot and are removed right now
- Class indicators are mostly untested
- CastBar doesn't show a spell icon
- I leveled with it and have run dungeons/delves without errors, but I haven't really sat down and stress tested it
Anyway, I'll try and squeeze in some time later in the week to clean up the above list and will probably upload a beta version as a new addon (just PitBull Unit Frames, no 4.0) when I can.

what i noticed so far:
refreshes from auras arent as often as they should be
unitnames are missing and giving me only a {err} as a name for any units i target
but i also used an old savedvariables

Posted Mar 15, 2026Loved this addon since I first tried it, not been happy with any other unit frames. Just popping in to say, thank you for the hard work, and please disregard the comment below mine--some of us understand that this is isn't your job <3. Take all the time you need, and be well!
EDIT: Seems like the comment got removed ^^

Posted Mar 6, 2026I check curse every day hoping for an update. One day it will be there.
This is in no way meant to rush Nebula, I understand things take time and ofc there's a whole new expansion with things to do (on top of life). I just miss good ol' Pitbull and am very much looking forward to its return

Posted Mar 8, 2026In reply to Grymm: Same here. Longtime Pitbull user here, and I've looked through a bunch of other unitframes and decided I'd stick it out for Pitbull's return. Very much looking forward to it! (and only posting this as appreciation for the addon and encouragement, no pressure - I know development takes time and real life takes precedence)

Posted Feb 19, 2026Hello, @Nebula169, I can imagine that the new Blizzard guidelines will require quite a bit of reworking to make Pitbull 4.0 12.0 compatible. Is there a silver lining on the horizon? Perhaps even a current status update?
Thank you for all the years I've been able to use these unit frames. Unfortunately, I've gotten so used to them... with all the others, WoW feels like I'm playing it with a steering wheel ;D

Posted Feb 20, 2026In reply to degrade0815: I've got it mostly working switching things to use secrets. The big pieces I have left are reworking frame updates to be based on unit instead of guid (and dealing with compound unit restrictions) and rewriting the aura module. ETA? Shooting for a release before early access, but no promises 😅
