• CrateCheck Desktop, for Mac and Windows: connect it from the Library card to check your Rekordbox and Serato (DJ 4 and 5) libraries live, with no export. Owned tracks say In Rekordbox, In Serato or both. CrateCheck asks for the native messaging permission only when you click Connect. Linux and ChromeOS don't show a Library card.
• A CrateCheck button for the track that's playing on Spotify, in the Now Playing view and the player bar.
• The welcome page now has a step-by-step guide to downloading tracks, and before it a step you can skip for connecting your library, with Mac and Windows install steps.
• A nudge on the Library card, the panel footer and the Library entry point when a newer CrateCheck Desktop is available.
• Matching in every alphabet: tracks with Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic, Arabic or other non-Latin names now match and show as owned, and accents no longer cause misses.
• Better matches: a different artist who only shares a word, instrumental and acoustic versions, CDs and vinyl on Amazon, and album-only Traxsource rows no longer show as matches. Remasters, album versions, [Explicit] and free download tags now count as the track you looked up.
• Qobuz shows tracks from albums and compilations at the track's own price, and the same track no longer shows once per release in any store.
• A store that stops answering now times out instead of loading forever.
• The CrateCheck button now only answers your own click, not a script on the page.
• Crash reports, so we can fix problems you'd otherwise never tell us about. If something breaks, CrateCheck can send us the error message (with web addresses removed), where in our code it happened, and basic browser and system details. A message could rarely include a track name. The sidebar tells you about this once, nothing is sent until you press "Got it", and you can turn it off any time in Settings.
• If a Spotify or SoundCloud update stops the track buttons from showing, CrateCheck sends us a small report (just the site, kind of page, step, version and browser) so we can fix it. The usage setting in Settings turns it off.
• If CrateCheck Desktop can't read your Serato version, CrateCheck sends us a small report (just the app, too new or too old, its format number, your operating system and the CrateCheck versions and browser) so we know which to support next. The same setting turns it off.
• A recovery screen with a Reload button, instead of a blank panel, if the sidebar or welcome page crashes.
• CrateCheck no longer collects your approximate location.
• No longer asks for unlimited storage. Expired search results are cleaned up on their own.
• Security hardening: store links only open over https, host permissions are https-only, and content scripts only get an owned or not-owned answer.
• Removed the in-browser Rekordbox library upload. Its leftover data is cleared on update. Use CrateCheck Desktop instead.
