- updated modulo 256 color arithmetic everywhere (stupid cleanup issue)
- updated LibBabble-Faction-3.0 to latest/greatest (5.0-release14)
- known problem: very occasional problems with nameplate initialization (name "", malformed health bars)

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-5.1.1 (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.
