Addon authors that use chat messages should check that their addons still work in 4.1
Authors will need to add calls to RegisterAddonMessagePrefix() in order to receive addon messages of a particular prefix, presumably during PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD for the majority of addons. Note that this system errs on the side of sending too much; it is possible for addon messages to make it to the CHAT_MSG_ADDON handlers when no addon has registered it.
RegisterAddonMessagePrefix( )
IsAddonMessagePrefixRegistered( )
GetRegisteredAddonMessagePrefixes( )
Prefixes are limited to 16 characters now, and they no longer take up a portion of the 256 character chat message limit. The server has a 64 prefix limit. If you exceed this limit your client will not filter any messages.
Also: SendAddonMessage() is now allowed for the OFFICER channel.
