If this works out I think we'll want to use this approach for
all data layer changes.
Previously, an unsaved change on an object would update its state
immediately, which was fine for synchronous code but breaks down if a
save involves multiple asynchronous calls, because modifying state after
the relevant data has been saved to the DB but before the `_changed`
object has been cleared would mean that new changes would be lost. Now,
changes are written to _changedData, and a get for the data first checks
_changedData before checking the state property (e.g., _tags) directly.
The changedData property is cleared as it's written, and once the object
is saved, the reload updates the state property with the new data.
It was stopping after the first translator, which meant that some ISBN
lookups failed if the ISBN wasn't in Library of Congress.

for this
If a standalone attachment existed in a collection and then was added to
a parent (e.g., via Create Parent Item), and attachment metadata was
also changed at the same time (e.g., due to file syncing), the
'collection item must be top level' trigger could throw on another
syncing computer. To work around this, remove collections first, then
make changes to the parentItemID columns, and then add new collections.
We should maybe have a shorter timeout in the connector to show an error
and avoid showing the save-to-server dialog, but let's err on the side
of not cancelling saves.
Otherwise a save could go on forever and the connector will never show
an error, and if you quit Zotero the connector will show the
save-to-server dialog (though the connector should have its own
timeout).
We were manually looking up the current locale in various places and
passing it to nsIStringBundleService::createBundle(), but that hasn't
even been a supported argument for years. (I assume it was a long time
ago?)
- Replace Developers section with text that links to RRCHNM, the credits
page, and Get Involved.
- Remove dedicated zotero.org link
- Only show link underlines on hover
I think it might be worth having a tag management window that lets you
view tags as a grid, sort by column (e.g., type), select ranges, delete,
consolidate, etc., but until then, this fulfills a popular request.
