V1.2.3 API Patch Notes & Change Log

I'm not sure what the threshold is. The 1.1 version of ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink did not cause the crash, even when I called it more than I do now. The new parselink must be more taxing with its string matching and splitting.

ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink before patch:

function ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink(link)
    if type(link) == "string" then
        local color, data, text = link:match("|H(.-):(.-)|h(.-)|h")
        return text, color, zo_strsplit(':', data)
    end
end

After patch:

function ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink(link)
    if type(link) == "string" then
        local linkStyle, data, text = link:match("|H(.-):(.-)|h(.-)|h")
        return text, linkStyle, zo_strsplit(':', data)
    end
end

Is there such a big difference to cause crash to desktop?
