is no need for a separate macro to heal raid members or pets. The only healing function needed is '/pa autoheal and possibly /pa bestheal;. The other heal commands will be phased out over time, and will no longer show in the help but will continue to work for some time. Autoheal 
will always heal solo/party/raid first. The use of bestheal will continue to provide direct target based rank selection healing as always. Autoheal will be updated again soon to support friendly targets if in solo mode.

New Features in 1.304 
----------------------
Raid Group Selection (RGS). RGS will allow the selection of specific 
groups in a Raid to receive Blessings. Members of other groups will not receive blessings. This feature will conserve power and enable raid leaders to distribute the work among several players. In the future this selection will used in healing and curing also, or there will be a choice of to include the groups in blessing, healing, curing or all three. In this release the group selection only applies to blessings. By default all groups are selected. Still in development awaiting a GUI update.
Blessing Expiring Warning System (BEWS). BEWS, when enabled (always enabled in 1.304), will 
warn you when blessings are about to expire. In this release the warnings start 60 seconds prior to your blessing expiring, then for the next 30 seconds, at 10 second intervals you receive additional warnings, and finally 30 seconds beyond the 30 second warning you receive a notice that the blessing has expired. This may become more configurable in the future. Also note this feature is only enabled on 5 minute blessings, and this feature does not track blessings on other people, only the caster. When enabled (default) BEWS will activate and reset every time you bless yourself. This may help remind you when to start your next CycleBless. 
New Threshold (will be put in GUI asap)called Minimum Health. This threshold will be the threshold for healing. Any health ratio below this setting will get healed, and any above it will be healed only when no other entity needs 
healing more. Default is 95%. Still in development.
New Filters for messages is being put into the Addon for filter in Debug Mode.
The healing function will try and switch between Flash of Light and Holy Light if one has cooldown, and cannot be used.

1.303b
------

1.302b
------
The paladin.lua file has been split into sepearte module files just to make this project eaiser for us to work on.  
Progress is being made on raid group selection.
 A new framework is being developed to track failed spellcasts. currently you can only see the output from this framework in debug mode. This feature will allow us to detect problems in blessing cycles, and failed healing and curing spells.  Problems like Line of Site.  This framework may also provide a better utility for checking cooldown.

1.301b
------
Added bindings for autoheal, bestheal, autocure, bestcure, bom, bow, and bol, and bof.
New command line /paladin bless# on/off where # is party # to to bless or not in a raid with cyclebless.
The raid selection logic is new, and needs to be tested. Report all breakage, anomolies, and general weirdness please!
The healing code will send delay messages to the party, or raid or personal messages to the target about delays in healing now. It depends on what options are checked.
'/paladin quiet' will shut paladin assistant up. no party no raid, and no personal messages.
