<strong>New Features</strong><ul><li><strong>LIB-748 — World of Books is now supported</strong>: You can now check library availability for books you find on worldofbooks.com, on both the UK
and US storefronts. Audiobook CDs don't show results yet, and books with several authors are
searched using the combined author name that the site lists.</li><li><strong>LIB-749 — AwesomeBooks is now supported</strong>: You can now check library availability for books you find on awesomebooks.com.</li><li><strong>LIB-750 — Open Library is now supported</strong>: You can now check library availability while browsing openlibrary.org, on both a book's main
page and the pages for individual editions. If you have Open Library set up as one of your
catalogs, it is skipped while you're on openlibrary.org, since it would only point back at the
page you're already on.</li><li><strong>Preview your settings before importing them</strong>: Exported settings files now include your libraries and your general settings. When you import
one, you'll see a preview of exactly what will change before anything is applied, and libraries
that are no longer available are skipped. Import and export now live on the Options page.</li></ul><strong>Bug Fixes</strong><ul><li><strong>LIB-753 — Brooklyn Public Library is searchable again</strong>: Searches at Brooklyn Public Library had started returning an error after the library updated
its catalog. The extension now uses the library's new search, so results appear again.</li><li><strong>LIB-738 — VuFind and Chamo libraries no longer report "no copies found" by mistake</strong>: In Chrome and Edge, searches at libraries using VuFind or Chamo catalogs could come back empty
even when the library had the book. These searches now return results correctly.</li><li><strong>LIB-701 — Branch availability for VuFind libraries works in Chrome and Edge</strong>: Checking which branches have a copy could fail for libraries using VuFind catalogs in Chrome
and Edge. Branch availability now shows up correctly.</li><li><strong>LIB-734 — More accurate availability for Biblionix libraries</strong>: When a Biblionix library listed the same title more than once, copies from the extra listings
were left out of the count. All available copies are now included.</li><li><strong>LIB-735 — Searches and settings no longer get stuck in Chrome and Edge</strong>: A rare browser error could leave searches and saved settings unresponsive until the browser was
restarted. The extension now recovers on its own.</li><li><strong>LIB-710 — Links to Evergreen catalog records are formed correctly</strong>: Links from your results to an item's page in an Evergreen catalog could contain a doubled slash.
They are now formed correctly.</li><li><strong>Fixed an error showing some results</strong>: Results from libraries that don't report how many copies they own could fail to display. They
now display correctly.</li></ul>

<strong>Bug Fixes</strong><ul><li><strong>Fixed a problem that stopped the extension from working properly</strong>: The previous version included a bug that prevented the extension from working properly. This
version fixes it.</li></ul>

<strong>Bug Fixes</strong><ul><li><strong>LIB-637 — Koha Bywater libraries are searchable again</strong>: Some libraries using Koha based Bytwater catalogs were returning no results because of a security
check on the library's side. The extension now gets past this correctly, so searches for
these libraries work again.</li></ul>

<strong>Bug Fixes</strong><ul><li><strong>LIB-637 — SirsiDynix libraries are searchable again</strong>: Some libraries using SirsiDynix catalogs were returning no results because of a security
check on the library's side. The extension now gets past this correctly, so searches for
these libraries work again.</li></ul>

The floating box that shows library availability on book pages now has a close button.
Click it to hide the box on that tab. It stays hidden even if you reload the page or
browse to another book on the same site. The only way to bring it back is to click the
Library Extension icon in your browser toolbar; that reopens the box on that tab.


You can now check library availability for books you find on perlego.com.


You can now check library availability for books you find on learnnatively.com.



The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (previously listed as "NLS
Bard") is working again after its old system stopped responding to searches. Availability
information now shows up for NLS titles, including talking books and braille books, for
the first time. When adding a library, it now appears under its full official name, but
typing "NLS" or "BARD" still finds it right away.


Music and braille items from your library now appear with their own icon and label,
instead of being shown as plain, unlabeled books.



On these sites, moving from one book to another without the page fully reloading could
leave the results box showing outdated information, or not updating at all. This is now
fixed, so what you see always matches the book you're looking at.


Some libraries using SirsiDynix catalogs were returning no results because of a security
check on the library's side. The extension now gets past this correctly, so searches for
these libraries work again.


If the extension loses its connection to the page, for example right after it updates,
the Options page now shows a message with a Reload button, instead of appearing to hang
with no explanation.


Browsers sometimes pause extensions that have sat idle in a background tab. Previously,
this could leave a search stuck with no response. The extension now reconnects and picks
back up automatically, so you shouldn't need to reload the page.


Under some circumstances the extension could drop its reply to a search, leaving results
stuck as if still searching. This has been fixed.


When you search for a library to add, libraries in a state or country where you already
have one are now brought to the top of the results, as was always intended.

This release introduced a fix for an error that would not return results for certain implementation of SirsiDynix Enterprise catalogs. Users hould now be able to get results from catalogs that did not include a JSON encoding of the availability information on the page.

Three little bug fixes in this version

LIB-598: Fix amazon.com display when the anchor point is missing
- Amazon appears to be starting to make changes to their layout, so this should make some aspects of the extension more robust in the face of changes to the structure of the page

LIB-603: Floating Widget positioned too high to move

Improvements

This new floating results widget is configurable, but intended to support pages where the layout changes enough that the extension cannot find a place to put the existing results within the page.


Bug Fixes
