Version 2.0.0 - 16 Sep 2016

Separate the logic of finding new links from the removal of outdated links. Searches will now only add new links, never remove them (unless a current availability check is also done.) The configuration option to Unlink books if no longer found by search has been removed. Unchanged links will no longer be reported in the search results summary.

The Check current availability of selected books menu choice is now available even when the ol_wait_weeks custom column does not exist. Besides determining the wait to borrow, this will also check for books no longer available at the lending library and remove the link if so. All links are checked, even those for disabled libraries.

A new configuration option, Update current availability of books with new links will cause a check for the current availability/wait to be done for books whenever a new link is found by a search.

The Search for books by selected authors menu choice will now update links for all books by the same author(s) in the calibre library, even if they are not selected when the search is started.

Allow multiple search jobs to be active for the same set of books. Results may be inconsistent if the same books are updated in different ways.

The Unlink selected books menu choice now presents a submenu to allow more flexibility in link removal.

The overdrive_link_library_groups plugin tweak now enables a single menu choice, Set library group, that will select a group of libraries for subsequent searching.

In the Discovered Books dialog: The new Update button will match a single selected book to an existing calibre book, providing a list of suggested books to choose from. (Useful if a discovered book should actually match an existing calibre book, but failed to do so due to a mismatch in the title.) The new Discard Dupes button will mark all duplicate discovered books to be discarded. The Update Existing button was renamed to Update Match.

The plugin tweak overdrive_link_amazon_ident can be set to override the identifier used for the Set 'amazon' identifier for Kindle e-books configuration option. See the help section on Configuring Tweaks for more information.

Faster, but more strict, book matching algorithm.

Rename the embedded metadata plugin to "Overdrive Link*" to keep it separate from the main plugin.

Fix errors and missed books when searching Amazon, Axis 360, Hoopla, OverDrive (2016 website layout), and Scribd resulting from various website changes.

A major change to the OverDrive website design is being rolled out to lending libraries in 2016. With this redesign the identifiers associated with books will change, making links to book web pages partially incompatible with the old website design. Links previously created by searching will still function after a library migrates to the new design, but future searches will create different links, resulting in both old and new links existing for the same book. The Check current availability of selected books menu choice can be used to remove old-style links and replace them with the equivalent new-style.

Signing in to OverDrive sites with the new 2016 layout is not yet supported.
