11/8/2008 This was removed with 3.02. Use UNIT_AURA instead.

Called when a buff or debuff is either applied to a unit or is removed from the player. (Further details to follow, study needed).

Also fired when you start eating and/or drinking (which really is only a buff being applied like any other).

"PLAYER_DEAD"
 Category: Death
 

Fired when the player has died.

"PLAYER_DIFFICULTY_CHANGED"
 Category: Player,Raid
 

?

"PLAYER_ENTERING_BATTLEGROUND"
 Category: Player
 

?

"PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD"
 Category: System,Player,Instance
 

Fired when the player enters the world, enters/leaves an instance, or respawns at a graveyard. Also fires any other time the player sees a loading screen.

To check if the player is entering an instance, check [[API_IsInInstance|IsInInstance].

Correction on the above comment: When PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD fires, you'll notice that WORLD_MAP_UPDATE fires just before it. My instincts tell that leaving an instance puts the player in void space momentarily. So for the case that you are entering AND leaving an instance, GetPlayerMapPosition always returns the coordinates [0,0] and hence there is no way to determine using the event PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD if the player is entering an instance or not. When leaving an instance the following events fire (ignoring party/raid events).

WORLD_MAP_UPDATE
PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD
WORLD_MAP_UPDATE <--- Player coordinates are non-zero here

Instances do have coordinates for units once the second WORLD_MAP_UPDATE event has fired. For the case of entering a battleground such as WSG, WORLD_MAP_UPDATE won't fire until you leave Silverwing Hold or Warsong Lumber Mill and you are outside. --Salanex

Edit
"PLAYER_ENTER_COMBAT"
 Category: Combat
 

Fired when a player engages auto-attack. Note that firing a gun or a spell, or getting aggro, does NOT trigger this event.

From a post by Dhrago on the WoW forums:

PLAYER_ENTER_COMBAT and PLAYER_LEAVE_COMBAT are for *MELEE* combat only. They fire when you initiate autoattack and when you turn it off. However, any spell or ability that does not turn on autoattack does not trigger it. Nor does it trigger when you get aggro.
You probably want PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED (happens when you get aggro) and PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED (happens when you lose aggro).
"PLAYER_FARSIGHT_FOCUS_CHANGED"
 Category: Player,Spell
 
"PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED"
 Category: Player,Communication
 

This event fires when a Unit's flags change (eg: due to /afk, /dnd, etc.)

arg1
The UnitId affected, eg: "player"
NOTE
WoW appears to condense simultaneous flag changes into a single event. If you are currently AFK and not(DND) but you type /dnd you'll see two Chat Log messages ("You are no longer AFK" and "You are now DND: Do Not Disturb") but you'll only see a single PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED event.
"PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED"
 Category: Player
 
arg1
The item slot that changed.
arg2
If the changed slot is empty now.
"PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED"
 Category: Combat,Unit Info

Edit
"PLAYER_LEVEL_UP"
 Category: Player

arg4

Edit
"PLAYER_LOGIN"
 Category: System
 

Triggered immediately before PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD on login and UI Reload, but NOT when entering/leaving instances.

Note: Player skills such as those available through GetNumSkillLines() and relatives does not appear to be available when this event or PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD fires during an actual player login from character-selection, as all the GetNumSkillLines()-function returns is 0 in those cases. When these events trigger from other reasons, such as zoning, the skill-related functions appear to work normally.


"PLAYER_LOGOUT"
 Category: System
 

Sent when the player logs out or the UI is reloaded, just before SavedVariables are saved. The event fires after PLAYER_LEAVING_WORLD.

"PLAYER_LOSES_VEHICLE_DATA"
 Category: Player,Vehicle
 

?

"PLAYER_MONEY"

 Category: Player,Combat
