Hello! Welcome to ScholarFlow v2.4.1 — performance, new tools, and a smoother library experience.
✨ New Features
- Autofill (new tab in the sidebar): save your frequently used form templates and fill forms on the web in one click — great for repetitive sign-ups and research forms.
- To-do List (new tab in the sidebar): manage daily research tasks with priorities (Normal / Urgent / Low), search, filters, and inline editing without leaving the page.
- Teleprompter: type a script and read it aloud while recording your screen — it even opens in a pop-up window so you can edit your video narration on the fly.
- Clear site data: stuck behind a paywall? One click clears the cookies, cache and storage of the current site and reloads it for a fresh session (now fully supports Firefox's Total Cookie Protection).
- Quick citation from context menu: highlight any text, right-click → Save citation with quote, and ScholarFlow adds it to your notes and opens the sidebar automatically.
🎨 Improvements
- Redesigned the Saved Bibliography window for easier searching, copying and exporting.
- Reworked the To-do list interface to match the new design.
- Better element / custom-area capture: a precise crosshair and smooth 8-point resizing.
- Cleaner code architecture (content scripts split into modules) — no change for you, but a big maintainability boost for us.
🐛 Fixes & Stability
- Fixed all code-review warnings flagged by the Firefox (AMO) validator — the package now passes with zero errors and zero warnings.
- Improved multi-language sync across all 5 languages (VI, EN, 中文, Русский, 日本語).
