Change Log:
--------------------
Version 5.3.0.209
Updated for WoW 5.3
Battle.net names are no longer class colored when Show Class Colors is disabled

Fixed using short names for numbered channels instead of numbers only (Lua config only)
Version 5.2.0.198
Updated for WoW 5.2
The "Shorten player names" option has been renamed to "Remove server names" and now only removes server names from cross-realm character names.
A new "Shorten real names" option has been added, with the choice of keeping full names, showing first names only, or replacing Real ID names with BattleTags.
The "Replace real names" option will continue to replace both Real ID names and BattleTags with character names.
The "Show class colors" option now always overrides the individual channel options in the Blizzard chat options window. To avoid confusion, the Blizzard check boxes are disabled.
Version 5.1.0.187
Added LibChatAnims to work around public chat API functions tainting the talent frame due to Blizzard's stupidity
