LibAboutPanel-2.0

An embedded library that scans your AddOn's ToC to display that information either as a seperate About button in the Interface Options panel, or as part of AceConfig-3.0 options table.

Retail, BCC, or Classic

LibAboutPanel-2.0 should work in all versions of the game.

Not a drop-in replacement

LibAboutPanel and LibAboutPanel-2.0 do more or less the same thing, but LAP2 will not replace Ackis' version just because you have it installed. As an author, you can make the choice which you prefer.

API

You can find the API here on this page, and the examples here

Features that are new or different than Ackis' LibAboutPanel

More localization. LAP2 uses global strings to translate factions, locale names, etc. It also has more translatable strings than the original.
Its API is embedded, so MyAddOn:API() is the norm.
LAP2 has an API that supports AceConfig-3.0 options tables, thus the About panel can be displayed as a tab, part of a tree, etc.
