Macros appear to be broken.

Slash commands work fine, e.g. /showcloak 1.

Multiple commands on the same line, such as:

: ;showcloak 1 ;showhelm 1

no longer work and just get spammed out as emotes. Is this intended, or has the format changed?
We fixed a few bugs related to command parsing and changed the way that we interpret special characters in a command. You'll need to separate the commands into multiple macro steps.

Can we get more than 10 command steps per macro to compensate?
I've looked into this issue further. The 'trick' of starting a macro with a colon in order to get it to process multiple commands was an unintended feature. As you probably know, the colon is a shortcut for the "emote" command. There was a bug that caused certain types of commands to not process the line of text properly. This could also be noticed with the "p" command which is a shortcut for "gsay". If you typed "/gsay test;test", your group would see "test;test" which is the expected behavior. If you typed "/p test;test" your group would only see "test" and the client would try to execute the second "test" as a command. This was unintended and has been fixed which resulted in the above macro format no longer working.

We will not be reverting this fix to allow multi-line macros to work, but we have increased the number of allowed commands in a macro. This change should be hot-fixed soon.
