Along with Blizzard's World of Warcraft 2.2 patch, I also bring you WIM 2.2!

WIM 2.2 comes with some new features, mainly the WIM-2-WIM system (aka W2W). With W2W, when a WIM user talks to another WIM user, there will be more features available to them. At this time, the 2 main features that you will see are:

- Advanced Player Location - Using the same location tooltip, you can now see the players coordinates as well as a more detailed zone description.

-Typing Status - A feature you see on all of your favorite messengers -- now you can see when the person on the other end is typing back to you.

You will see this feature set grow in the future. I have a huge list of ideas.

WIM 2.2 also uses a new system of addon compatibility in regards to linking items. It is still not 100% accurate, however, I was able to remove all the special code written for all of the addons that users have requested in the past -- and everything works perfectly. If you encounter an addon that is still unable to link to WIM, please post a request for that addon on the forums and it will be dealt with.

Aside from new features, many of the bugs and issues posted on the forums have been fixed. WIM should no longer cause tainting issues to secure frames while in combat. A lot of code has been rewritten in order to make sure of this.

Some of you might notice that the package size has increased. This is due to the fact that WIM now comes packaged with an array of Ace based libraries which will be utilized more and more throughout the developement of WIM. Don't fret however, statistically speaking, most users already have these libraries loaded from other addons. Therefore, it will NOT affect your memory usage in the game. Although the package may be larger, only one copy of each library will ever be loaded into memory.

WIM now uses the WhoLib in order to process /who requests. The pros of using this library significantly out ways its cons, therefore, I have decided to adopt it.

For more details on this update, like any update, please read the version history listed on the website.

Plugins WIM - SpamBlocker and WIM - WhisperSelect, although no new development news on them, have also been updated with the latest TOC versions. If you use them, I suggest you update them.

WIM - SpamBlocker is no longer packaged with WIM. It can still be downloaded seperately from the plugin page. Why you ask? Well, to be honest, since blizzard has alieviated the spam issue in game (in regards to whispers), it really isn't necessary any more. I will still keep it operational however for those who still find use in it.
