Talk:2.0 misc changes in Beta (JIM the Inventor)

From WoWWiki

While my original post of this material, and by extension, the people that preceded me, both say that these are "Burning Crusade" changes, it would seem to me that the 2.0 version number applies equally to "The Coming Storm", currently on the PTR. I am not on the PTR. Can anyone confirm that Burning Crusade changes work in The Coming Storm? JIM 08:22, 26 November 2006 (EST)

PTR is running the 2.0 patch as well (although it's currently running a different build). For the most part, especially the changes listed on this page, the same API changes apply. The only "mixup" I've seen is that the PTR reports the build number as "0.0.1" instead of "2.0.1". This can cause issues with TBC-converted addons that test for "2.0" in the build number. Simplest solution I've found is to instead check for the presence of Lua 5.1 with this code:

local lua51 = loadstring("return function(...) return ... end") and true or false

As of today, I believe that the PTR is actually running a newer build than TBC is... but I can't say for certain ^^ --Tekkub 09:39, 26 November 2006 (EST)
