This should not break any existing addons, but we strongly recommended that addon authors who register for the UNIT_AURA event make use of this new information while processing auras.

A new helper function, AuraUtil.ShouldSkipAuraUpdate(), has been added to AuraUtil.lua to facilitate this. To use it, forward in the new event payloads as well as a ...

Here’s the hotfix update for the day:
