August 8, 2022: 2022.808.1

Other Recent Releases

New Features

  • Case LIB-328 Add support for Amazon.com.sg (Singapore)

Improvements

  • The configuration screen will display the username used to log into a hoopla account
    When a user is logged into hoopla, the username was not displayed leading to some confusion. This changes stores and displays the username used to log into hoopla. This change only impacts new logins that are made after users update to this version; users logged into hoopla prior to the change will see no change.

Bug Fixes

  • Case LIB-329 Improve extension layout behavior on abebooks.com
    The Library Extension shows up again on abebooks.com following some changes to their site layout.
  • Case LIB-332 The Library Extension should show up only on book detail pages on fantasticfiction.com
    The Library Extension was incorrectly rendering on all pages, including author pages, on fantasticfiction.com. This changes updates the Library Extension so that it only renders on pages where a valid book is identified.

Known Issues

  • OCLC catalogs running on 'version 2' of their catalog software are currently not functioning
    If your library uses an OCLC catalog, the functionality is currently broken. This remains on our backlog to resolve.

In Case You Missed It

  • The Library Extension now has the ability to display multiple matching results for physical catalogs
    This new Beta feature will return all matching items for physical catalogs. Previously, only the first matching item was returned, even if no holdings were available. This behavior is now more consistent with how digital catalogs will return all matching items.
    To enable this feature, open the Library Extension configuration page and choose 'General Settings'. Scroll down the list of displayed items until you see 'Beta Feature' with the description. Choose 'Yes, I want all possible matches to be displayed'
