This article documents API changes made in Patch 3.0.8.

General changes
- HookScript() will now function like SetScript() if there is no script currently on the object.
- Both Dropdown menus and the Vehicle Action Bar have been made less susceptible to taint.
- Lua closures can now be directly assigned to widget script handlers from XML using the following new format: <OnClick function="FunctionName"/>. The old format will continue to be supported indefinitely.
- Several functions no longer accept unit tokens as parameters, and should now be used in conjunction with UnitName("token") instead. These functions include: AddFriend, RemoveFriend, SetFriendNotes, AddMute, DelMute, AddIgnore, DelIgnore, InviteUnit, UninviteUnit, GuildInvite, GuildUninvite, GuildPromote, GuildDemote, GuildSetLeaderByName, CalenderEventInvite.
- The secure handlers system was restricted with respect to OnUpdate/Timer handling and the ability to react to frame visibility. There is a new SetupAnimation method that addresses some of the restrictions. This change unfortunately removed some otherwise useful functionality around auto-hiding frames (and animation) but hopefully a future patch will address this.
