How to update addon?

Me and my friend long time ago (at begining of 2010) while we still played patch 3 created actionbar addon. It worked quite good. Now, in latest patch it works but is buggy. My question - can anyone give us as much info as posible about updating addons from patch 3 to curent cataclysm patch? We want to update it ourselves but we need info how to do it.

First get a good debugging helper like bugsack

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...s/bugsack.aspx

Then take a look at

http://wowprogramming.com/docs
http://www.wowpedia.org/World_of_Warcraft_API

and the come here with more specific questions and code examples you have problems with. It's easier to help this way

From the top of my head:
-- this, event, arg1, arg2, arg3 globals deprecated
-- xml frames now need to explicitly pass the arguments to your lua functions

You can also just post your code and someone will have a look at it

But what Rilgamon said is basically the way to fix your stuff. Search and Destroy
