v1.3.5
• Background Sounds. The optional sound feature is now called “Background Sounds”, with a plainer description: pink, brown, and white noise, plus a soft background tone.
• Reliability fix. Corrected an internal model identifier so the optional AI-assisted features (Plain Language Levels 3–6 and Multiple Intelligences) respond again.
• No new permissions; no accounts, no tracking, no data collection. The optional AI features run only when you supply your own API key.

v1.3.4 — Restores the optional Tier-2 features (Plain Language and Multiple Intelligences levels 3–6, and Translation), which had stopped working because of a retired model reference. No changes to the features that work without a key, to permissions, or to data handling.

v1.3.3

Maintenance update. Corrected the patent reference in the panel footer to the formal application number, clarified the ambient-sound feature description, and refined the store description. No changes to features, permissions, network behaviour, or data handling.

v1.3.2 — accessibility fixes and free Multiple Intelligences
• Fixed: High Contrast and Dark Mode now apply only to the page you switch them on, and always return cleanly to the original. Earlier they could carry across to other sites; updating clears that for you automatically.

• New: the Multiple Intelligences reformatter now works free, with no API key, at Levels 1 and 2 — recasting a page into a numbered sequence, a mind-map outline, a key-word list, discussion and reflection prompts, and more, entirely on your device. Levels 3–6 (richer AI versions) remain available with your own API key.

• OpenDyslexic font is now bundled locally — no external requests, fully offline.

• Carries forward the button and keyboard fixes from v1.3.1.
Privacy: the free features run entirely on your device, and UAIE collects no data and uses no tracking. Only the optional AI levels (L3–L6) and Translate send the text you choose to the Anthropic API, using your own key.

v1.3.1 is a bug-fix and hardening release; no new features. Fixed: the Close button on the Plain Language, Translate, and Multiple Intelligences overlays (a v1.3.0 regression); Escape now also dismisses any UAIE overlay, and the Close control takes keyboard focus when an overlay opens. Fixed: a failed AI request no longer leaves an empty overlay on screen. Improved: the OpenDyslexic typeface is now bundled inside the extension (SIL Open Font Licence), so the dyslexia font works fully offline and the extension makes no third-party font request. Added: an explicit content security policy. The footer now states the patent application number precisely.

What’s new in 1.3.0
• New — Reading Ruler: a movable guide that highlights one line at a time to aid focus and tracking.
• New — EPUB export: save any page or selection as a structured, navigable e-book for your own reader, text-to-speech, or Braille display.
• New — Streamed responses for key-gated tools, so Plain-Language and related transforms appear as they are produced.
• Improved — full style isolation, so UAIE looks and behaves consistently on every website.
• Maintained — built-in, offline Grade 2 UEB Braille, 30+ languages, and a free core with no account or API key required.
All processing stays on your device unless you choose to use an optional tool with your own API key.

v1.2.11 — Translation transparency and 31-language coverage. Every supported language now displays a verification status next to the language name in the Settings popup (native, verified, best-effort, or pending). Hovering the badge shows the verification route. A new "Suggest a translation correction" link in the popup footer opens a pre-filled email to the publishing house, with the link itself appearing in the user's chosen language. The interface language dropdown grows from 17 to 31 entries — Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Greek, Romanian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Afrikaans, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Amharic, and Zulu added. The full translation methodology and per-language status table are published at uaie.fizapathanpublishing.us/translation-methodology.html. No new permissions; no new endpoints; the content script and background script are unchanged.

UAIE v1.2.0 — Better article detection on news sites.

WHAT IMPROVED

• Times of India articles now translate and reformat correctly.
Earlier versions sometimes picked up the author bio or
comments-summary widget instead of the article body.

• The Guardian's annual fundraising appeal no longer appears
inside translation overlays.

• Text you select before running UAIE is now used directly —
your selection always overrides automatic detection.

• Pages that load asynchronously now get a moment to finish
before extraction begins.

PRESERVED FROM v1.1.0

All 17 interface languages, screen-reader announcements, the
restricted-page banner, the shadow-DOM and same-origin iframe
paragraph harvester, and every other v1.1.0 feature work
exactly as before.

PRIVACY

No new permissions. No new endpoints. No new data collection.
data_collection_permissions still declares "none".

Feedback welcomed at uaie@gmail.com.

v1.1.0 — Polish release. No new permissions, no new endpoints, no manifest changes beyond the version bump.

What's new:

1. COMPLETE PANEL TRANSLATION COVERAGE. Every label, section heading, description, button, and dropdown option in the panel is now translated when the interface language is changed in Settings. About thirty labels that previously stayed in English (section titles, Cognitive Load metric labels, British/American voice picker, colour-blindness options, visual-adjustment buttons, syllable-breaks checkbox) now switch language correctly.
2. ALL 17 SUPPORTED LANGUAGES AT 100% COVERAGE. English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Sanskrit, Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Swahili, Japanese, German, and Urdu now carry every UI string. The ten non-priority translations were produced AI-assisted; corrections welcomed via uaie@gmail.com.
3. SCREEN-READER ANNOUNCEMENTS. Panel open/close are spoken by assistive technology via an off-screen aria-live region. All seven status paragraphs now carry role="status" so progress is announced as it updates.
4. CSP-RESTRICTED PAGE DETECTION. On the rare pages that refuse panel injection, the toolbar popup shows a polite banner explaining UAIE is not available on this tab. Browser-internal pages and extension stores are detected by URL pattern.
5. SHADOW DOM AND IFRAME EXTRACTION. The article-text harvester now descends into open Shadow DOM roots and same-origin iframes. Closed shadow roots and cross-origin iframes are handled safely.
6. MEMORY-LEAK FIXES. Reading Companion timeouts cleared on Stop. Captions handlers nulled to prevent orphaned recognisers.

All v1.0.15 hardening retained: 60-second API timeout, plain-language error messages, click-protection guards, API key format validation.

Reliability hardening: clearer error messages when the API is unreachable, rate-limited, or your key is invalid; 60-second timeout instead of indefinite hangs; protection against accidental duplicate calls; clear warning when a page has no article body to process; and instant API key format validation in settings.

Bug fixes: Plain Language L3–L6, Multiple Intelligences, and Translate now extract and process article body text correctly on news sites with lazy-loaded content. Resolves a CORS error introduced by recent Anthropic API requirements.

Three small but visible improvements (carried forward from v1.0.12, validation cleaned in v1.0.13):

Translate — a new section in the in-page panel translates the visible page into any of the seventeen interface languages via the Anthropic API, with right-to-left rendering for Arabic and Urdu. Mirrors the prompt and overlay used by the UAIE Microsoft Word add-in.
Live language sync — choosing a new interface language in the Settings popup now updates the in-page panel immediately, without requiring a page reload.
Footer correction — the in-page panel footer now reads its version dynamically from the manifest and matches the wording of the Settings popup footer (Patent Application Pending · Trademark Application Pending · © Fiza Pathan 2026 · Mumbai, India).

v1.0.11 — Security hardening release

Completes the planned security refactor mentioned in v1.0.10 Notes to
Reviewer. All innerHTML assignments have been eliminated from the
codebase.

Changes:
- Main panel injection now uses DOMParser.parseFromString() (safe,
non-executing HTML parsing API).
- Plain Language overlay rebuilt with createElement() and textContent.
Inline onclick replaced with addEventListener().
- Reading Companion word spans rebuilt with createElement(). Syllable
separator rendered as a styled child span.
- SVG colour-blindness filter rebuilt with createElementNS() for defs,
filter, and feColorMatrix elements.
- Dead document. body.innerHTML cache reads removed.
- Empty-string innerHTML clearings replaced with DOM removeChild loops.
- popup.html inline <script> moved to external popup.js file,
satisfying Firefox default CSP for extension pages.

Verified: grep ".innerHTML\s=" .js returns zero matches across all
JavaScript files.

No user-facing feature changes. This is a security compliance release
only.
