Release notes for 2.0
Added a new feature and two new options:
- You can now manually preform a scan on a page from the add-ons pop-up menu.
- Option for checking copied text for zero-width characters.
- Option to preform a scan on the page again when the tab becomes active.
These changes should help combat any hidden data inserted dynamically.
