    *** Improvements ***
    - Overdrive catalogs now extract 'language', as part of improving match results.

    Released Jan 2, 2023 - 275.68 KB
    Works with firefox 42.0 and later, android 48.0 to 68.*
    Improvements:

    * Case LIB-376: SirsiDynix Enterprise catalog implementations that use a CSRF value in a header (Far North Libraries in New Zealand, for example) were not able to return results.
    This implementation detail is now supported in the Library Extension.

    * The Library Extension has been updated to support pulling supported geographic regions from a service.
    The names and regions supported were previously part of the published source code. This had made it challenging to add support for new geographic regions quickly. The Extension now obtains the list of supported countries and regions from a managed service, making it easier to support new locations quickly..

    Bugs Fixed:
    * Fixed a bug impacting Hoopla results missing an 'artist'.
    Some Hoopla records are missing an 'artist' field, and this was causing results to not display properly. The Extension now handles these records properly.

    Kobo.com removed information about the item displayed in a structured JSON format; the Extension has been updated to find the item details on the page via other means.

    Improvements

    This change removes the state and country for catalogs where this information is not meaningful.

    Bugs Fixed

    * LIB-302: Fix the configuration restore feature for Firefox.
    This bug impacted only Firefox users trying to restore (or copy) their configuration to a machine. Firefox does not support the use of a file picker, so users can now copy and paste their saved configuration into a textbox.
    * LIB-360: Fix a bug causing audiobook results without a preview to fail to be included for BorrowBox.
    This bug impacted only a small set of results, namely audiobooks that did not have an audio preview. The observed behavior was no result or an endless 'search'.
    * LIB-364: Fix a bug non-available items in OpenLibrary results to be included.
    This bug impacted OpenLibrary results by including items which are 'Not In Library'. These results are not generally of interest in the use of the Library Extension and they will no longer show up.
