 v1.10.12:
 - Tweaked a few Druid CCs in the CC modules. If you've got a more up-to-date list of any of the CCs, please send them along to icehud@parnic.com
-- Hopefully fixed a problem that could cause a custom counter to loop forever and cause framerate problems. (ticket #230)
+- Fixed a problem that could cause a custom counter to loop forever and cause framerate problems. (ticket #230)

 v1.10.11:
 - Updated TOC for IceHUD_Options module
