This release includes some new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes to enhance the user experience.

New Features

• Added the venue endpoint and 'Publication' column to fetch publication names.
• Implemented theme persistence across sessions.
• Added 'Search on Web' functionality to the context menu for 'Document Details', 'Sift Tips', and 'About LitSift' dialog.
• Implemented connectivity check before initiating searches.

Improvements

• Enhanced Boolean operator and parenthesis handling for nesting and precedence, improving complex query matching.
• Aligned dialog theming with LitSift's main theme for a consistent and smoother reading experience.
• Implemented more robust error handling and rate limiting.
• Improved programme reset functionality for more thorough clean-up.
• Renamed UI elements for clarity:
  • 'Save All Results' button to 'Save Preview'
  • 'Reset LitSift' button to 'Reset'
  • 'Preview Results' tab to 'Preview and Sift Results'.
• Enhanced tracking and presentation of counts for fetched, filtered, and selected results.
• Improved overall UI responsiveness.

Bug Fixes

• Resolved issue where hidden rows were being selected when using mouse drag on filtered results.
• Fixed automatic tab switching to 'Preview and Sift Results' when no results were available.
• Corrected main search field behaviour, unintendedly accepting new search queries upon pressing 'Enter' without full reset.
• Fixed application crashes that occur when using Ctrl + A to select filtered results.

Known Issues

• Sorting after applying filters affects all rows, not just filtered ones:
  • This may unexpectedly change which rows are visible in the filtered view.
  • Multiple sorting operations may be required to restore the initial set of filtered results.

If you encounter any other issues or have suggestions for improvement, please open an issue on the repository.
