WOWUI'S MINION IS OUTLink to the beta:
Basically this is WoW Ace Updater (WAU) on crack... in BC WAU was the shit before it died off because of the lack of funds ... one click update all was amazing and spurred the other programmers to rethink how they built their addon-updating programs...
Basically what it does is eliminate the need for multiple updaters, assuming all of the addon sites you use have written a module to work with Minion, and I'm hoping and praying Curse makes one because then I won't need to use any sites on patch day and deal with the humdrum wait of millions of others trying update their UI while the patch downloads...
It's nice that it's secure... it won't let a module work without telling you... and if it's not from a secure location, you deny it the access... sweet right?
To top it off, it doesn't access the addon's servers without permission, I'm looking at you WoWMatrix...
WoWhead posted a news item about this in middle of May and I was hooked... I've been wanting something like this ever since WAU bit the dust cause face it, updating the UI after patch hits is least favorite thing to do in the game, some days I'd rather
house clean than update my UI...
edit: It still has kinks to work out... hence it being a beta. but from my fiddling and general usage, it's easy to use and I like it. Can't wait for it to be released.
