v1.3.6
What's new in 1.3.6
- The store summary now says the extension is free and open source. Nothing else changed; ratings, settings and sites work as in 1.3.5.
Download the ZIP, extract it, then in Chrome open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the show-imdb-ratings folder. Details in the README.
v1.3.5
What's new in 1.3.5
- Letterboxd's poster badges now follow the badge size under Badges on title cards, one step smaller than on the streaming sites since its posters are small: 8, 9 or 11 px for Small, Medium and Large. Medium is the size they had before; only the tiniest posters (under 60 px, such as a member's favourites) keep their fixed score-only badge.

v1.3.4
What's new in 1.3.4
- Episode ratings in episode lists now follow the badge size under Badges on title cards (Small, Medium or Large), like the card badges. Medium is the size they had before.

v1.3.3
What's new in 1.3.3
- Card badges are easier to read on light or busy artwork: their background is darker (75% black, was 50%), so a white edge, fine detail or yellow art no longer swallows the digits. A little of the artwork still shows through.

v1.3.2
What's new in 1.3.2
- Netflix: the "Coming This Week", "Coming Next Week" and "Worth the Wait" rows on New & Popular get their badges. They were left out before because a title not out yet can share a name with an older film and show that film's rating; that can still happen on a card, and the hover preview, which knows the year, corrects it.

v1.3.1
What's new in 1.3.1
- Card badges come in three sizes under Badges on title cards: Small, Medium and Large, all on a lighter ground than before that lets the artwork show through, so the rating is there when you look for it rather than the first thing on the page. Medium, the default, is the size of before. The samples beside the label choice show each size as you pick it.
- Settings: with the extension on two synced browsers, an address added in one no longer gets switched off by a click in the other, which could not allow it.
- Amazon shop pages: a film whose name has a word like Season in it ("Season of the Witch") is looked up as a film, not a series; a sponsored row's names lose their "Sponsored Ad" prefix.
- Card badges with the short scores on: a badge half out of the window no longer keeps re-measuring itself while it sits there, and badges that leave the page are let go.
- The add row under Sites guesses Apple TV for a tv.apple.com address.
- Under the hood: the toolbar percentage during a build is set without re-reading the settings each step, and the names from Amazon's rows have tests.

v1.3.0
What's new in 1.3.0
- Letterboxd: tick it under Sites and the browser asks to allow letterboxd.com; from then on every poster on its browse pages, lists, watchlists, diaries and profiles carries the IMDb rating, and a film's own page gets a chip under the credits. Off until you tick it, like every site added from now on, so an update never switches the extension off for anyone.
- Sites is now a list, with a row under it to add an address of your own: a country's Amazon store (www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video), or a site that moved. Pick the site whose pages it serves, click Add, allow the address when the browser asks, and it gets a row and a tick of its own. The cross on the row removes it, permission included.
- Prime Video, on the rest of amazon.com: once www.amazon.com is added as an address under Prime Video, the shop's search results get badges too, on the films and shows among them (Prime Video titles and discs; books and the rest are left alone), with the disc's format tag taken off the name. A disc's own page in Movies & TV gets a chip under its name, and its "Customers also bought" and sponsored rows get badges on their images.
- Prime Video: the "Featured Originals and Exclusives" cards keep their rating when one expands. The expanded panel put a Play link first, which the extension read as the title, so an expanded card showed another film's rating or none. The cards also tell series from films now, so a new series no longer borrows an old film's rating.
- Prime Video: the "Top 10" row gets its ratings. Those cards are laid out differently, and the badge landed far off the page.
- A title named as a version, like "Blade Runner: The Final Cut", finds the film.
- Settings: unticking Refresh automatically now says what Update now does (rebuild the database) instead of "use it when you want".

v1.2.4
What's new in 1.2.4
- Match titles in other languages, switched off: the keys stayed for turning it back on, but the six-hourly check could still remove them, and the settings page said "Next: titles in no other language" meanwhile. Off now means off; nothing runs until the box is on again.
- Firefox: if access to datasets.imdbws.com (where the build reads IMDb's files) has been switched off under about:addons, Update now asks for it again instead of failing with a bare NetworkError.
- Settings page: the message at the top right no longer pushes the page down when it runs to two lines; the "On cards too" row stays on one line without an OMDb key, so the footer stays in view; every message there starts on the same line, and a full build with a language ticked no longer runs the status line to three lines in its last phase.
- Under the hood: the background is six files instead of one and the settings page three, the languages section keeps its state in one place, and a new test harness runs the background and the settings page together in node, with tests for the language flows. No change in what the extension does.

v1.2.3
What's new in 1.2.3
- Netflix in Chinese or Japanese: the home banner gets its rating. Those profiles write the banner's label with a full-width colon and no space ("精選內容:現代驅魔師"), which the title parser did not split, so the banner said no match whatever the title; it now does, and a banner named in another script gets its English name looked up first, as the cards do.
- Netflix episode lists in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Russian, Greek, Hindi, Arabic or Hebrew: the per-episode ratings are back. The adapter only knew the European words for season, episode and part, so a show page in those languages was not recognised as one; it now knows the local words, with the number before or after the word, and tries the show's English name as well as the local one.
- Prime Video: episode ratings are back on series pages. Prime's new episode grid lays each heading out twice and shows the second copy; the rating went into the hidden one.
- Settings: turning Match titles in other languages off and on again keeps the language choice and needs no Apply; the two columns stay equal in a narrower window; nothing on the page moves when a build finishes or a box is ticked.
- Episode ratings sit in a faint chip like the one under the show, instead of a black pill on every row.

v1.2.2
What's new in 1.2.2
- Titles in other languages now covers other scripts: Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Thai and Hindi join the list under Match titles in other languages. Titles in those scripts are matched character for character, as far as IMDb names titles in them: nearly every title in Japanese and Hindi, about 150,000 in Cyrillic, 71,000 in Chinese, 43,000 in Greek, under 6,000 in Korean, 2,400 in Arabic, 500 each in Hebrew and Thai (Ozark and Stranger Things have a Korean name on IMDb; Breaking Bad is listed for Korea in English and stays "n/a").
- Netflix in another script: a card named in Korean (or Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Hindi) also gets its English name from Netflix's own public page of the title, read once, signed out, the way episode cards already find their show. So on a Korean profile, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are rated even though IMDb has no Korean name for them.
- If you set languages up before this version and tick one of the new ones, the settings show Get titles instead of Apply once: the list kept from before has no rows for these scripts, so it is read again (520 MB pass through, as the first time). Languages ticked before keep working meanwhile.
- Nothing changes for anyone who does not use the option.
