Unable to view options pane on Classic

Classic Era and the Season of Mastery Beta
I was not able to load the options pane via the /tptp command nor in the interface options window. On load, it throws a couple of lua errors:

...which appears to be why the /tptp command doesn't get registered, and:

...
...which happens within the AceConfig library, and appears to be why the AddToBlizOptions method doesn't get defined and can't be used, causing the first error.
(I can include the rest of the dump if it's helpful, but I don't think it adds much here)
When the client updated to version 9.0.1 it changed how the backdrop api worked for frames, outlined here. It's a pretty simple change just to get it working, but I'm a complete Lua noob so I'm not sure the best way to make a change since it's in a library dependency.
Thanks for highlighting and fixing this (in the pull request). I updated the internal Ace3 library to a newer version which fixes the issue. See here: https://www.wowace.com/projects/ace3/issues/572. That should be the same error. I'll upload a new release today hopefully.
You can find a version to test (for Classic) here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tidy-plates-threat-plates/files/3511434
