Beta Players - Able to keep an eye on the version / any interface changes?

[Veritable]

To be more detailed...

I don't know what the actual version is going to look like. Will they stick with 1.12.0 / 1 and just keep riding like a 1.12.0.0001 -> 1.12.0.0099 etc type of nomenclature.

Also, I am intrigued to find out what API version is there, what addon features have to be re-written. Going from 1.12.0 to 8.1.5 API is going to be a much larger jump than people probably realize unless you have been developing your addon throughout Vanilla to Today's retail client API.

	elseif GetUnitName("target") ~= nil then

function ClassicFocus_Cast(spell)
	--target of focus target by name using "/target" command
	SlashCmdList["TARGET"] = (ClassicFocus_CurrentFocus)
	
	CastSpellByName(spell)
	--retarget our target exploiting the slow update to the playertarget var
	TargetUnit("playertarget")
end

SlashCmdList["FOCUS"] = function(arg)
	ClassicFocus_SetFocus(arg)
end

SlashCmdList["CLEARFOCUS"] = function()
	ClassicFocus_CurrentFocus = nil
end

SlashCmdList["FCAST"] = function(spell)
	if ClassicFocus_CurrentFocus ~= nil then
		ClassicFocus_Cast(spell)
	else
		UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage("|cffFF003F You have no focus.|r")
	end
end

SlashCmdList["TARFOCUS"] = function()
	if ClassicFocus_CurrentFocus ~= nil then
		SlashCmdList["TARGET"] = (ClassicFocus_CurrentFocus)
	else
		UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage("|cffFF003F You have no focus.|r")
	end
end

I was trying to get a 1.12 focus mock work and I was getting permissions errors.

I am pretty sure that all the Lua Target commands are now protected in the new API. That's probably why you are getting that error.

Edit: Yes they are, looked it up and they are protected. Not sure when it switched but it is like that in the new API and that's all that matters.
