    Auctioneeros,
    We are pleased to release Auctioneer and Auctioneer Suite 5.8, the CreepyKangaroo, which is fully compatible with World of Warcraft 3.3.x.
    Roughly 150 changes, fixes, and, or, enhancements by our volunteer staff this time. Most of the work was done to background processing, to provide an even more stable, more enjoyable experience.
    All of our people put in numerous hours of their time to help ensure that the Auctioneer Suite remains the most-used Auction House and general item data set of AddOns. No one real star this time, but when you work with such a bright group, it is often hard to have to pick just one, anyway! Thank you to everyone who has coded, tested, documented, and hung out; without you, what would be the point, right? =)
    As shown in the Current commits (changes, enhancements, fixes) subsection, there are numerous other fixes, enhancements, and more. Be sure to check them out!
    * Please be sure to read and follow http://Wiki.Norganna.Org/Installing when upgrading your installation.
    ** There have been a few changes this time, so a full remove/reinstall is recommended.
    ** Be sure that the Auc-Util-FixAH module is installed and has a gold checkmark next to its entry in the main WoW AddOns Control Panel. That helps to prevent two issues that were introduced and not fixed by Blizzard as of this writing.
    * All of the very latest http://Localizer.Norganna.Org language string updates have been imported and will be displayed in your localized client.
    ** We are continually in need of help localizing the ongoing changes to Auctioneer, BeanCounter, Enchantrix, Informant, and the other AddOns listed at http://Localizer.Norganna.Org .
    ** Registering takes only moments and you can be on your way... it is quite simple. Even if you only have the time/inclination to help with a few translations, that will be better than what we have now for some of the locales.
    ** Before starting, kindly take a look at http://forums.norganna.org/discussion/9517/translation-format/ for some basic thoughts.

    Happy Auctioneering,
    Nikk and the rest of the family at Norganna’s AddOns

    Highlights:
    Auctioneer
    * Numerous enhancements Suite-wide to increase processing speed, efficiency, stability, and more. (Those using Auctioneer's scanning, data, or other functions/information should double-check to ensure there AddOns/scripts are not affected.)
    * If an auction cannot be posted due to lack of bag space to split a stack, Auctioneer will attempt to post all other auctions in the queue (in an attempt to provide a free slot) before retrying the first auction again.
    * Auctioneer can now query the WoW Client directly for vendor sales prices when Informant is not installed.
    * If a user has chosen to redirect Auctioneer messages to a different chat frame, that now is based on the name of the frame, rather than the number. This will ensure that the redirect always goes to the Auctioneer Information channel on all Characters.
    Auctioneer/Appraiser
    * New option added to allow users to choose whether to clear the posting queue when the Auction House frame is closed.
    * Status of Auction House data clarified, such as the Not seen in current scan, data is <X> old message.
    Auctioneer/AutoMagic
    * Nearly a complete overhaul by the Kandoko.
    ** Added an option to auto-sell grey items, green items, BOPs that are not useable, et cetera, all without being prompted.
    ** When auto-selling, there is an option to halt vendoring after twelve items have been sold to allow the user to buyback any accidental sales.
    ** The mail auto-loader should now function correctly across all locales.
    ** Configuration window and options rearranged in a more logical order.
    Auctioneer/Glypher
    * GlypherPost added to the Suite; it allows Scribes to easily *and smartly* post their wares. For more, see http://wiki.norganna.org/Auc-Util-GlypherPost .
    * Added slash command to toggle hardminstock flag. Since it is more of a niche setting, it is not included in the GUI settings.
    Auctioneer/ScanStart
    * New Auc-Util-ScanStart module added to the Auctioneer Suite. This new module allows you to select various options when you start a scan; for more, see http://wiki.norganna.org/Auc-Util-ScanStart .
    Auctioneer/SearchUI
    * Many background changes to help lessen the chance for errors when purchasing.
    BeanCounter
    * Changes made to the algorithm to help correctly record all Auction House messages; this is true even when using a mail AddOn. **Note that there may be issues if a user posts with an AddOn that utilizes the new multi-post capability. Once that is added to Auctioneer, BeanCounter will be updated to accommodate those item.
    * Added the ability to right-click the BeanCounter tab, while at the Auction House, to open the external BeanCounter window.
    * Canceled auctions will now be tracked to allow users to see which items they should consider posting at a lower beginning cost, rather than wasting time/cash cancelling and re-posting.
    * BeanCounter will now record disenchant results, including what the item DEs into, how many, and the estimated value of the mats.
    Enchantrix
    * Option added to enable auto-looting of manual disenchants, prospects and milling.
    * Added Adamantite and Titanium powders to the reverse prospect list.
    Informant
    * All data updated for WoW 3.3.3.
    * Sell to vendor pricing has been removed, and Informant now passes the request for pricing to the WoW Client, resulting in a smaller DB.
