MobMap v3.11
Phew...okay, so bigger changes always tend to grow disagreements. I'm sorry for the disturbances I might have caused with some people in the 3.10 update, but unfortunately you can't do it right for everyone when it comes to changes - though I am always open for suggestions and have been looking into the biggest issues. I have read the comments in the MobMap v3.10 posting and extracted some changes from them which I could integrate rather quickly to improve the user experience with the newly added quest tracker.
First of all: many people didn't seem to find the option to completely disable the tracker. I understand that this is an important option, as there are many different quest tracker addons out there and quite some people already have a quest tracker which they like and don't need another right now. The option is actually there, it's in a new sub-tab on the Interface options screen (Interface -> Addons -> MobMap -> (click the "+" to open the sub-tabs) -> Quest Tracker). But I have now added a shortcut: by Alt-clicking on the "triangle" button you can immediately deactivate the quest tracker. It'll then be entirely gone from your screen and won't use up any processing power, too.
A new tooltip that's being displayed when hovering over the "triangle" explains how to move, toggle and deactivate the tracker. That should help people find out how this new instrument is to be used. Some bugs have been fixed and I have added some more options in the options screen, but read the changelog for yourself...
v3.11:
- fixed: An issue with Carbonite that caused the Carbonite map to flicker in certain situations
- added: A new tooltip to the MobMap quest tracker toggle button that explains how to use it
- added: A shortcut to completely disable the new quest tracker by alt-clicking onto the toggle button (can be reenabled using the regular option in the MobMap configuration sub-panel in the interface options)
- added: New options for the quest tracker: Option to hide finished objectives, an option to hide finished quests, an option to hide the "turn in to..." objectives and an option to hide the distance to quest targets
- added: new tooltips when hovering over quest names in the tracker that show the short quest description from the questlog
- added: Finished quests are now colored in a bright green color to indicate their finished status
- added: Quest levels are now being displayed in the quest titles, as well as minimum group size suggestions from Blizzard
- fixed: Reenabling the quest tracker now works without an interface reload
Oh, and of course I'd still like to read suggestions, opinions, bug reports and stuff about the new quest tracker. That feature is far away from being perfect, and I know that, but you always have to start somewhere, don't you?
But please - before you ask "how can I turn this off?" just alt-click the triangle in MobMap 3.11 ;-)
[edit] Big flaw found in 3.11, 3.12 fixes it.

Another bugfix release - squishing more bugs in the quest tracker. I want to get that thing running smooth before I even think about adding new features (though I do have some on my list, like making it scalable or allowing to ignore certain quests). I
