Change Log:
--------------------
5.1.3-2477
- added new tag, as a convenience, to reflect whether Blizzard is showing the "tapped" (original) heath bar color (per discussion with Thortok2000)
- added tag, to set text to the "tapped color (per discussion with Thortok2000)
- fixed problems with // tags not reporting module source correctly (reported by Thortok2000); NOTE: tags for player target ONLY
- fixed problems with unit name colors/options on "tapped" units (reported by Thortok2000)
- fixed typo/missing code resulting in missing nameplate frame background texture
- found workaround for mouseover highlight; looks like a Blizzard glitch (thanks, danltiger); NOTE: the highlight color alpha can already be tweaked for overlay effect
- dimensioned nameplate "subframe" to match overall nameplate frame, and both nameplate frame and subframe use packing dimensions;
seems to help significantly with mouse sensitivity (for click-targeting and tooltip; the whole subframe area responds to mouse)
- verified: packing dimensions (under "Frame" options) ***DO*** affect nameplate spacing, at least for stacked nameplates... but not instantly (it takes some panning/tilting and/or nameplate recycling)
5.1.2-2461
- updated TOC to 50100
- re-implemented to force ShowClassColorInNameplate CVAR on at start, and warn user when it is disabled
- added "tapped" as a basic unit type (based on Blizzard nameplate color); options for tapped units under "Health Bar>Colors", "Frame>Background>Background Colors", and "Visibility"
- NOTE: determining actual basic unit type (i.e. friendly NPC vs. hostile NPC, etc) via Blizzard nameplate color is no longer possible for visibly tapped units
(i.e. when showing nameplate color change); will work on mouseover capabilities to augment/override this
- added , , and boolean tags, using Blizzard unitid-based API functions, active for the player's cu...

This is a BETA release. Seeking assistance with any/all localizations (deDE, esES, frFR, koKR, ruRU, zhCN, zhTW, any/all others).

Aloft is an addon that allows you to customize and enchance how nameplates and nameplate casting bars appear in the game.
The Aloft FAQ is HERE, please review it. (And please feel free to request additional information/clarification.)
NOTE: Keeping track of which versions of WoW are live on which non-North American realms is difficult; please PM me if you end up with an incompatible version, we can probably find something that will work for you.
NOTE: The current production release is Aloft-5.1.3 (Ace3), for WoW 5.1+ (Mists of Pandaria Beta, on North American live realms as of 2012/11/27; not compatible with earlier versions of WoW). Aloft-4.4.8 (Ace3) is still available for WoW 4.X. Aloft 2.8.3 (Ace2) or later is required for WoW 3.2. Some older versions may or may not still be available; send a PM to Acapela for older versions, and include your email address.
