Fixing addons and macros after 2.2

The patch hit on Tuesday morning, and Tuesday afternoon, I began my usual cycle of addon laziness-- instead of actually updating my addons, I just checked "load out-of-date addons" setting myself up for trouble down the road, I'm sure.But while I'll be having addon problems for a while (at least until the next patch-- I'll probably finally fix everything right before 2.3 breaks them all again), you don't need to. Kaydeethree has put together a terrific guide to fixing your addons after 2.2, with links to addons that have updated, addons that haven't updated, and a few great tips on how to update your macros as well.
It seems like KD3 is keeping an eye on addons as they update as well, so the thread will probably be updated accordingly. If, unlike me, you're motivated enough to keep your addons as up to date as possible (so that they all, y'know, actually work instead of throwing error messages at you every few seconds), then KD3's guide should help.

Indeed, i use frequently-updated addons, i checked the thread for a fix for ItemRack, and my UI was 99% functional when i logged in on Tuesday.
The only issue was a very minor one from xperl unitframes, but that just wasn't updated yet because the author was waiting for the patch to come out for europe.
Now only the sound bugs remain, and those are out of my hands.

well, at least that kinda helps me figure out why my polymorph macro took a dump on me mid-instance the other night. I blamed an addon for confusing my targeting, but it's really my macro that needs to be refined. Hooray.

My UI is really bad. I have Bongos2 My bag bar is gone, along with my stances, (I'm a warrior) xp bar, and character bar. (Quest, character, help buttons)
It says it was updated but I have no idea how to fix this.

i had bongos as well, and when i first logged in, every button was in the right place and they even worked, but each one was the icon & tooltip for Kidney Shot! heh
so i downloaded Bongos2, and redid everything (fortunately i remembered where everything went)
i think now the only bug im getting is with extended questlog (no tooltips in my bags when i use it, and ag_unitframes (right clicking my target's frame causes some mubo-jumbo in the chat window each time)

Extended Quest Log (EQ3) broke on this patch. When you hovered over something in your inventory, there would be an error message. The new version isn't out yet, but the fix is pretty easy.

There's a totally re-written version of EQL called bEQL using the Ace libraries. You can get the latest version from the wowace site or by using the wowace updater...

I've been using it since the patch and it seems to work pretty well.
It's still need a little work but at least it works with Lightheaded...

That's something that EQL never did.
