JournalLens 0.3.9

JournalLens 0.3.9 changes the default journal feed window to the past two weeks. Existing users on the old default 7-day or legacy 30-day setting are migrated to 14 days, while custom non-default values are preserved.

JournalLens 0.3.8

Adds a persistent daily feed cache so reopening Zotero reuses the same day's fetched papers instead of automatically refetching every journal. The Refresh button still clears the cache and forces a new fetch. Feed cache also invalidates when the local date or feed settings change.

JournalLens 0.3.7

Adds one-click bulk translation for all loaded article titles and abstracts, plus progress feedback and a one-click return to originals. Updates manifest and update feed for Zotero automatic updates.

JournalLens 0.3.6

Release 0.3.6 focuses on reliable article figures and a shorter default feed window.

• Validates figure images before display and filters blank/low-quality thumbnails.
• Keeps only real Fig. N / Extended Fig. N labels, preserving source figure numbering instead of display order.
• Merges duplicate figures and keeps Extended Fig. entries separate from main figures.
• Defaults journal fetching to the last 7 days, with a saved 1-180 day setting.
• Updates README and GitHub preview graphics.

JournalLens 0.3.5

JournalLens 0.3.5 improves journal coverage, abstract recovery and body-figure extraction.

Highlights:

• Adds a Crossref /works ISSN fallback when a journal-specific Crossref endpoint returns no items.
• Adds publisher-page abstract fallback using citation_abstract, description metadata and JSON-LD abstract/description when Crossref and Europe PMC have no abstract.
• Shows article-body or extended figures only; preview images, og:image, JSON-LD images, graphical abstracts and TOC graphics are no longer used as figures.
• Normalizes all displayed figure labels to Fig. N style.
• Bumps the figure cache schema so old preview-based figure results are discarded.

JournalLens 0.3.4

JournalLens 0.3.4 focuses on figure cleanup and lightbox layout.

Highlights:

Highlights:

• Deduplicated figures by URL variants and caption text.
• Normalized figure labels/captions to avoid repeated captions such as Fig. 1... — Fig. 1....
