     <h2 id="1-jan-2099" class="major-release"><html:a href="#1-jan-2099">[[date:1 January 2099]] - Anachronist's Library</a></h2>
     <h3>site changes</h3>
     - obliterated chronology links in the nav bar (<html:a href="#15-apr-20">rest</a> <html:a href="#12-jun-20">in</a> <html:a href="#12-jun-2024">peace</a>) and added them into artist tooltips, instead; these show the previous and next things' names (and a description if hovered for longer); they're more dynamic and may be shown for all kinds of credits, not just for track artists/contributors and cover/track art illustrators
+    - new group series feature, so albums can now belong to specialized "series" within their groups (for example, "Numbered volumes" under [[group:official]]; "Land of Fans and Music" under [[group:unofficial-mspa-fans]]; "Pokémon Unbound" under [[group:the-paradox-music-team]]) - these are shown on group info pages, in full; on album pages, with dedicated previous/next buttons; and on track pages, briefly
+    - new artwork references feature, which lets tracks and albums reference the artworks of other tracks and albums; references are displayed on dedicated gallery pages, which are linked beneath the tag list of cover artworks
+    - new "closely linked artists" feature, so group pages can take you right to the corresponding artist pages, and vice versa (used all throughout the "solo musicians" group category)
     - new "crediting sources" feature, essentially same as commentary but a dedicated section to collect and detail official credit sources, snippets of relevant commentary, and other observations; these generally inform the specific credits (in artist and contribution lists) for tracks on the wiki and are present so they can be revisited by anyone, at any time, and checked against or added to, to improve on-wiki credits and for thoroughness
     - added support for "featuring" credits; these get a custom look in track lists anywhere, and make solo albums nice and neat ([[media:misc/changelog/featuring-credits-old.png|old]], [[media:misc/changelog/featuring-credits-new.png|new]]; [[media:misc/changelog/featuring-credits-track.png|track page]])
     - added support for commentary entry access and/or capture dates (read from web.archive.org URLs where given, or specified manually), as well as uncertain or bounded date ranges; see e.g. [[track:snow-halation-famitracker]], [[album:hiveswap-act-2-ost]], and basically any crediting sources
     - added support for descriptions for individual track sections (within an album), e.g. [[album:homestuck-vol-1-4]], bonus tracks in [[album:homestuck-vol-8]]
     - added support for additional names to albums
     - added support for expand-collapse "details" elements, and spoiler text ala Discord or GameFAQs, to commentary
+    - added new "Album cover for..." message beneath tag list when a track page is showing the album's cover artwork because the track itself has no unique artwork
     - revamp for "edits for wiki" credits, on banners and wallpapers: now shown in a "+ edits" tooltip; separate from main artwork lists, on artist info page; and excluded from artist gallery page; and support additional details, e.g. "crop" or "based on album cover"
     - made external links in commentary (with arrowheads) "absorb" immediately-following punctuation, so commas, periods, etc appear next to the word, instead of getting pushed past the arrow ([[media:misc/changelog/external-links-absorb-old.png|old]], [[media:misc/changelog/external-links-absorb-new.png|new]])
+    - added dots between links in nav bar, instead of just a comma, for style and easier clicking; and made the first and last track in an album just dim out the "Previous" and "Next" links, instead of outright hiding them, so those nav links are positioned more consistently
+    - dropping text into the search input (or a link from the current page) will now replace whatever was in the search input before, and perform the search right away
     - various appearance improvements for search input: new magnifying glass, input text aligned with results' labels; browser-builtin "x" button, to clear search, now visibly grey rather than black; light highlight when hovered or focused; and a bit taller, overall
     - various appearance improvements for commentary headings: bar beneath heading is now solid and dim, rather than dotted and bright; word-wrapped lines after the first are slightly indented; and date information snaps to bottom, aligning with heading bar
     - new "quick descriptions" on group gallery page, showing the front of the group's description (as well as text past the split, after clicking to expand)
     - links to the same album, if the album itself has commentary, now scroll to that commentary, on album commentary page, see e.g. "continued from album commentary" link in [[album-commentary:mobius-trip-and-hadron-kaleido#dawn-of-man|Dawn of Man]]
+    - clicking on an artwork to show that art in the large overlay will now colorize the overlay according to the artwork you clicked, if it differs from the color of the page itself (e.g. on [[album-commentary:prospit-and-derse|some album commentary pages]])
+    - changed "Illust. (artists)" message to "Artwork by (artists)" in various art gallery pages
+    - various smaller and larger internal improvements across the wiki data format, mostly to improve quality of life for data entry
+    - uncountable totally internal additions and improvements, across code both for data processing and for page generation (and much miscellany besides), underlying new features and fixes and serving as groundworks for future stuff, just as usual
     <h3>bug fixes</h3>
     - miscellaneous improvements to tooltip placement logic, so large tooltips near page boundaries shouldn't go flying off into the sun so often
     - fixed group info pages showing a different order than group gallery page (besides just being reversed, so old-to-new) when multiple albums were released on same date
