November 6th 2018

v 0.3.12 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

v 0.3.10 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Reduced width of "video highlights" and "latest" columns at the bottom of the page.

v 0.3.8 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Added individual player advanced stats during live games.

v 0.3.7 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Added daily leaders and season leaders to ESPN stat dropdown.
- Fixed a bug with the game strip sticking to the page. This was caused by an update on ESPN's end.

v 0.3.6 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Minor UI tidy-up.
- Adjusted display format of team TS%.

v 0.3.4 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Fixed a bug where play-by-play data wasn't being formatted if it was updated after being added. ESPN have only just started doing this. On the upside you no longer need to refresh the page in order for updates to be added (this was a limitation on ESPN's end).
- Improved formatting of shot charts.
- Hardset a cookie to turn off autoplay on the box score page. This may affect autoplay on other ESPN pages but autoplay is nasty and should be discouraged. Hit me up on twitter @lenymo if you have an objection to this.

v 0.3.3 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Removed localised times in extension popup due to a bug.

v 0.3.2 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Localised times in popup.
- Added more days to popup nav.

v 0.3.1 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Updated the extension popup with game scores and quick links to box score (accessible by clicking the red basketball extension icon).
- Updated Fan Duel scoring formula to be consistent with new official NBA fantasy scoring rules (these are accessibly by clicking the [ ] ADVANCED STATS checkbox once a game is over.
- Updated the background color behind some team logos because they looked whack (Boston, Atlanta and Phoenix).
- Released 19th October 2017.

v 0.2.4 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Added highlighting of on-court players to box score. This works based on the five players whose stats were most recently updated, so it usually takes a short while to kick in after a game starts or after a stoppage (time out, end of quarter). The most reliable stats to indicate who's on court are +/- and minutes because these increase even if a player doesn't add any stats but this does mean it can take a while to update if no one scores for a minute or two.
- Added handy links which appear when you hover the ESPN logo. I'll probably try and make this menu more obvious at some point.
- Updated styling of new team logos.

v 0.2.3 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Added team BLK%, STL%.
- Improved speed of play-by-play highlighting.
- Updated format of team shooting percentage (50.0% instead of .500). Easier to read.
- Added sport dropdown back alongside scoreboard.

v 0.2.1 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Added team pace, offensive rating, defensive rating and net rating for College Hoops. These numbers currently differ slightly from basketball reference's numbers.

v 0.2.0 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Added individual player advanced stats once a game is finished. Still ironing out bugs for this to work during a live game.
- Added highlighting to play-by-play.
- In the works:
- Advanced team stats for college hoops.
- Live individual player advanced stats.

v 0.1.8 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

- Set all player links to open in a new tab.
- Fixed player links for Australian users (if any other countries are experiencing issues let me know).
