4.1 Update!  New stat weights and stuff!  More details here: http://forums.askmrrobot.com/index.php?topic=1302.0

Big update to trinket estimates!  We now simulate most trinkets individually for every spec, and use these dynamic estimates in the gear optimizer.  See http://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/trinkets for lists for every subspec!

- Fixed a bug causing profiles to sometimes not load.
- Fixed a bug with displayed spirit totals for spirit-based DPS classes being too low when a spirit trinket is equipped (display issue only, did not affect the optimizer).
- Fixed a minor bug with the BiS list for human shadow priests -- sometimes it would suggest the wrong rings at the pre-raid level.
- Mending is now the recommended "cheap" enchant for warrior and paladin tanks.
- Pyrium Weapon Chain is now suggested where appropriate if you are in "pvp mode", which is turned on by giving a weight to resilience.
- Haste procs are no longer factored in when trying to reach soft caps (though they are of course factored into your score and all).

The armory has all of the new data available!  We have updated our item files appropriately, let us know if we missed anything.
Note that sometimes the wowhead tooltip shows the old version of an item on the main view, but if you pop open the item list, it shows the updated version... not sure what's up with that.

- Added a new gear level for pre-ZG/ZA, which excludes the gear from the new 5-mans.
- 1-handed weapons are now selected by default for fury warriors, since the default spec is for single-minded fury.
- (Finally) fixed a bug with tank total score calculation, which was sometimes causing the optimizer to discard slightly better reforging solutions for characters with near-optimal gear.
- Updated a couple of trinket estimates.

Minor update to fix some caching problems, tweak a few items.

- Added a separate spec for fury 1H and 2H: they show up as separate icons on the class/spec picker at the left of the page.  The top one is single-minded fury, the bottom one is titan's grip.  When you load a fury warrior, it will automatically read your talents and choose the correct one.

We did another quick update, added throne of 4 winds new loot.  We also put another server online because traffic is high today, and the site was getting pretty slow.  Hopefully that will help!

Small update with some bug fixes and minor features:

We finally broke down and asked Mr. Robot to add a feature to exclude run speed enchants, even for classes that have no innate run speed increase.  Surprisingly, he was extremely eager to make this change.  He said, "Now I will easily crush these slowbs in foot races."  So there you have it -- use with caution.

- A few items have been cleared from the cache so that they will pick up the latest versions from the armory.
- Fixed a bug where you could not load a hunter with unheeded warning equipped (was this a bug... or a strong suggestion by Mr. Robot...).
- Changed stat display to never include stats from trinket effects, even the more "permanent" effects like Tia's Grace.  This doesn't affect the optimizer, just the display of the stat window.
- Fixed a bug preventing Mr. Robot from detecting resto shamans as actually being resto!

Small update with a few tweaks and Mobile App update #4:

The Mr. Robot Mobile App is now in testing! Read about the update and see screen shots here:
http://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/article/general/mr-robot-is-going-mobile

- The Battle.net Armory changed some formatting, causing professions to not load correctly. This has been fixed. You may need to reload your character if you see both professions as "none."
- Slight adjustment to Druid(Bear) weights which will affect a couple of enchantment choices.
- Update to estimates for healing trinkets that have direct mana gain effects, such as Tyrande's Favorite Doll, Jar of Ancient Remedies, Corrupted Eggshell, and Shard of Woe. Each healing spec has a unique ratio for Spirit/mp5 now, based on a 359 BiS gear setup. For more detailed math on the ratios we are using, refer to this post: http://forums.askmrrobot.com/index.php?topic=1356.msg12738#msg12738.
- Tanking shield enchants now default to Mastery instead of Block.
- When Mr. Robot suggests that you remove a reforge, there is now a message instead of just an empty green box!
- Armor enchant to gloves is now an option that Mr. Robot considers.
- Saving profiles will now correctly save a snapshot of all information with 1 exception: if you have not modified the stat weights from Mr. Robot's defaults, the stat weights will not be saved with the profile; instead Mr. Robot's defaults will be used when you load that profile.
- Slight adjustment to weight for intellect on Moonkin. Refer to this post for the reasoning: http://forums.askmrrobot.com/index.php?topic=1293.msg12703#msg12703
- Added two Presets for Restoration Shaman stat weights. One favors Haste, one favors 916 Haste/Mastery. Mr. Robot has gone back to defaulting to the 916 Haste/Mastery build, per popular demand.

There have been many small updates between this and the last change log entry, but my dog ate the patch notes.

For this update though, we have the following:

- finally, drop locations and costs for T11 items!  note that you may need to reload your character from the armory to pick up location information on your current gear

- fixed a bug where reloading a character would sometimes put the page into a wacky state

Mr. Robot will no longer allow equipping heroic and non-heroic versions of trinkets.

Oh, and, the mobile app is available, just in case you missed the message Support your favorite robot so that he can keep bringing you updates and new features!

- Fixed an issue with loading from the EU armory due to a new promotional splash page that blizzard added.
- Fixed a minor js error that would occur sometimes when clicking the 'optimize' button.


Note that we have updates ready for the android and iphone apps to fix a few reported issues -- we will be posting those sometime soon as well.

Version 1.0.5 of the Android app is now available -- fixes a few minor issues that users have encountered:

- It should be easier to enter character/realm names now if you have various keyboard features like auto-correct turned on.

- Can't equip heroic/non-heroic version of the same trinket anymore.

- Users who have erroneously been receiving the Android Market message should not see it as often anymore.  It still may show up if you do not have network access though.

First update for 4.2!

- All of the new items (800+ added to our lists) are available for preview!  Note that these were data-mined from the PTR, so some of them may not go live, or may have their final stats changed slightly.

- You can now export your character as a SimC config file: click the 'Permalink' button on the right side up by your score, then there is a SimC button at the bottom.  It pops up a textbox with the config file for you to copy and paste.

- New item filters for new gear and PvP gear.

- We now support the Korea and Taiwan armories!  Note that this is BETA support -- we have not done extensive testing.  If you encounter any issues, please let us know!

- Hit rating is now added properly for weapon chains.
- Armor multipliers are once again properly applied in the stat display.

** Improved Gear Level Filters to break out Heroic and Regular for both T12 and T11. Thanks to our users for feedback and screenshots with ideas!

** Added "Apply" button when changing options. This means you can now change all of your settings at once then hit "Apply" instead of waiting for Mr. Robot to update in between changes.

- Fixed a caching issue for characters, so it's possible that an older version of your character will show up after the update, and you'll need to reload it. This applies to both the website and mobile. To reload your character on the mobile phone, go to the character menu (it looks like a meatbag silhouette), and choose the reload options.

- Changed the font in the 6/21 update. EXCITING STUFF. It's more consistent in all browsers. If you don't like the font, Mr. Robot will be very sad, it's his all time FAVORITE font.

- Updated the trinket page with PRELIMINARY numbers with PTR data, subject to change.

** indicates it is live on the site, should be live on the Android later on 6/23, and the live on the iPhone once Apple approves it, likely 1 week out.

Version 1.1.0 of the Android app has been released!  It adds support for the upcoming 4.2 patch changes.

Don't worry if item lists, info, or stat weights are a little off at the moment -- they will all be updated when the 4.2 patch actually goes live.
