Carbine's first content patch, titled 'The Strain', was patched in last night, and along with a couple new zones and some great new housing items and a mount, it also came with one of the biggest bug patches since release. Check out the highlights of the patch notes below, but if you want the patch notes in their entirety, head on over to the official thread to get those!

Also, one quick note, if your addon settings were reset during the patch, head here to learn how to fix them and get your old setting back!

API Changes

• Removed Unit:GetMiniMapMarker method. Unit:GetMiniMapMarkers should be used instead.
• The ItemAuctionWon event will now fire correctly when an auction expires with a winning bidder. It will also now fire for both the bidder and the auction's owner.  * UI Addon: MarketplaceListings: Instead of polling for a list of owned auctions and orders, the UI will now keep its own lists and update them according to the appropriate events.
• (Apollo) DialogResponse:GetRewardId will now return 0 instead of -1 when there is no reward.
• Fixed a LUA API crash when accessing an unknown tradeskill schematic.
• [LUA API] Added "AppereanceChanged" event when the server changes the player's appearance. This is triggered by costume, dye, and disguise changes.
• When using Packages in Apollo, the current working folder will be set correctly during packages' OnLoad functions. Hurray for proper use of plural possessives.
• Fixed user provided sounds to play out of lua module directory, instead of base game directory.
• Apollo API: Item:GetRequiredLevel() returns the correct value for every item that has a required level. If the item has no required level, the function still returns 0.

Addons

• Fixed an error in the Auction and Commodity addons that occurred when closing the window while the search edit box had focus.
• Fixed a Client crash caused by the QuestLog addon when loading the game with certain quests active.
