Enhanced tooltips in the book reading interface so they are dismissible, hoverable, and persistent. You can now select the text within a tooltip and dismiss it using the ESC key on your keyboard, and the tooltips remain visible until mouse hover or keyboard focus is moved. More information is also included in the tooltips, such as the degree to which you are rotating a page or zooming in.
Resolved focus indicator issues lingering since our last release notes.
Reconfigured the Advanced Search screen and our cookie consent banner screens to ensure content can be accessed at higher zoom levels.
