This release lands a few small changes we've been working on as well as a big fix for PACER version 6.3.

The big fix addresses an issue in version 6.3 of CM/ECF/PACER, which was recently rolled out in the Northern District of Georgia. In that version, PDFs now have an additional level of redirection that we must capture and follow before you can download them. This type of redirection happens automatically in your browser, but requires that we take explicit steps in the extension. To our fans out of Georgia, thanks for your patience as we've addressed this.

Small updates include:

  • A new search engine — Look for RECAP search within your browsers search options! This provides full text search of all of the dockets and PDFs that you send us. (Unfortunately, this is not available for Chrome on Linux due to a limitation by Google.)

  • Enhanced protections against uploading sealed documents — We cannot detect with 100% certainty whether a PDF is sealed and we rely on our users as the first line of defense to both preventing that from happening, and working with us to promptly correct it if it does. That said, we now have a simple system in place to prevent some types of sealed documents from being uploaded automatically.

    If you regularly work with sealed documents, you will begin seeing notifications that we are not uploading those documents. This method is not fail-safe; we continue to rely on our users as the best defense against accidental leakage of these documents, but it should help.

  • Improved accessibility in the options panel for blind or otherwise vision-impaired users.

  • Improved testing coverage, code organization, and an editorconfig for our intrepid developers.
