Version 1.27.0 - 05 Feb 2015

Allow filtering of the discovered book display using searches similar to the main calibre search interface.

A search string may be entered to filter books so that only those that match are displayed. Searches are based on the main calibre search interface and support many of its features including exact match (=text), contains (text), regular expression (~pattern), presence (true), and absence (false). The fields allowed for searching are: author, title, series, library, isbn, publisher, language, action (no action, add book, ignore, discard, or update), ignored (true or false), and search (name of a previously saved search). For example to only display books by an author named John available at BPL use: author:john and library:=@bpl

Saved searches cannot be created by this plugin, but it can use those created by the main calibre search interface.

Show up to 10 links in the book details panel. Previously only one link was displayed. The maximum number of links to display can be changed by setting the plugin tweak overdrive_link_max_book_panel_links to the desired number. (Requires calibre 2.19 or later.)

Allow new links that are found while searching for a non-primary author of a previously discovered book to be added to the book. (This may result in inconsistent availability being reported for multi-author books depending on which author is chosen for the search when the listed authors differ across book providers as happens for some anthologies.)

Added configuration option to allow the list of unchanged links to be omitted from the search results summary.

Added configuration of authors for whom discovery of new books is not allowed, even if Search for books by selected authors is used for that author's books.

Allow SSL certificate verification to be disabled within the plugin by setting the plugin tweak overdrive_link_disable_ssl_verification = True . Doing this will eliminate the SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error which can occur with version 2.16 or newer of calibre. It is recommended the the underlying cause of the certificate problem be corrected as soon as possible since it may indicate a security problem with the user's system.

Improve search for authors who use one or more initials instead of a first name.

Improve search at Scribd for author names that contain an apostrophe.

Produce a specific error message when a query is redirected to the home page by Scribd. (This appears to be an occasional Scribd problem.)

Avoid caching book information for recommendable books at OverDrive since the listed formats are sometimes incorrect.

Improve parsing of Freading book pages to prevent occasional error: Server response error (missing "a class=authorName")

Handle EBSCOhost web site change in search results.
