This article documents API changes made in Patch 5.4.2. Previous patch: Patch 5.4.1. Next patch: Patch 5.4.7.

Changes

• random() and Math.random() now point to securerandom(), which is significantly slower. To explicitly use the pre-5.4.2 random, use fastrandom() instead.
  • Fastrandom is no longer accessible in the secure environment

• GetGuildRosterInfo()'s first return value now returns player name - realm name instead of just the player name (e.g. "Arthas-Silvermoon")
