EMS no longer re-checks every saved sequence after each fight.#

In v2.4.22, a character that keeps sequences for other classes never finished a one-time repair of stored spell names, so every refresh of the spell list walked all of them again, and a spec whose spells change during combat gets that refresh a few seconds after a fight. Each pass also rewrote the same steps back and forth and rebuilt their sequence. The repair now leaves other classes' sequences alone and writes each step's name once, and if steps it cannot fix yet remain, it tries again at the next login instead of after every refresh.

On WoW Forever, the sequence editor no longer shows an error when you open a second sequence.#

In v2.4.22 on WoW Forever, opening a sequence after another had been open in the editor showed the error "Regions must have a frame parent", and every sequence opened after that showed it again until the next reload. Deleting the sequence open in the editor left it in place. The editor now hides the lines of its Dependencies list and reuses them for the next sequence.

On WoW Forever, characters whose names share a first part now keep their own records.#

v2.4.22's notes said they already did, and on WoW Forever that was wrong. v2.4.22 still read only the first part of the name there, so Grip Ems and Grip Two on one realm shared one entry in EMS's character list, one entry in its index of each character's sequences, and one name in CVar Health's score history. Neither character was offered to the other under Copy to character, neither saw the other's sequences, and a sequence or variable you made carried only the first part as its author. EMS now reads the first part and the surname the game gives and joins them. The first of those characters to log in takes over the character list entry and the index entry kept under the first part, with any sequence copied to that name, and this happens once. The other gets entries of its own. Where a record under your full name already exists, the one under the first part is left as it is. Your settings profile is still keyed by the first part of the name. A retail character's name has one part, so nothing changes there.
