LibKey Nomad++ Release Notes

Modified on Fri, 18 Oct at 11:05 AM

This living document is intended to keep users up to date with new features and functionality changes in releases of Nomad++.  For any questions, please contact us at support@thirdiron.com.



Coming Soon:

- New option to allow the rule to "ignore IP addresses" when determining if the user is authenticated to a particular domain.  This is useful for services that have no IP recognition capability (The Economist for example)

- Ability to ignore select subdomain(s) as part of the URL matching within a rule.


October:

- Added ability to "pause" Nomad which effectively disables Nomad in a client's browser without needing to uninstall.  More information about that functionality can be found here.


September:

- Updated message dismissal UI for better accessibility and visibility as well as to provide the option to dismiss either for 1 day or 30 days.


August 2024

- New option adding a "Custom Chat Link" for libraries who make available a chat service that is not LibChat or Library H3lp but that can be initiated by clicking a link or libraries who want to direct users to a particular URL with a form to fill out, etc.  Libraries can customize the tool tip of this option to suit their needs as well.

- Analytics began collection August 15 and will be present in monthly reports starting in September.


June 2024

- Authentication Link added as a new link type for domain messaging and algorithm to improve the way Nomad++ determines that a user is authenticated to a domain was enhanced.  Details on how both these new features work detailed in this support document.

- Enhanced the Design Studio admin module to allow library administrators to change the color of not only the bubble/message in general but also the call to action button shown when using a Link of any type (default is green).  Also added the ability to change the contrasting text color for this button.  Finally, added the ability to adjust the custom Logo vertical alignment to better showcase logos that did not look very good with the default vertical offset (typically horizontal logos).


May 2024

- Added chat support for Library H3lp

- Added ability to limit visibility of individual citation services (rather than just turn on/off the citation services feature)

- Updated Options menu in the Nomad extension to include an option to manually reset all dismissed messages (helpful for demo situations where you don't want to wait the entire 24 hours but would rather the message come right back to that domain).

- Added tooltips to a number of different elements in Nomad++ for clarity of function

- Nomad++ now supports HAN proxies


April 20224 

- Domain Matching enhanced to allow for both URL path matching as well as an option to "Exact Match" a URL (no wildcarding to expand beyond what is provided by the administrator)


January 2024 

- Official Release of Nomad++
