Bookends 13.5.1

Sonny Software has published Bookends 13.5, now a universal build that runs natively with both Intel-based and M1-based Macs. The reference management tool improves its handling of ad-hoc attachment folders (used when you tell Bookends to leave attachments where they originate), fixes several bugs in the Works Cited Inspector that affected the user interface and the hierarchical pop-up menu, addresses an error that could occur when trying to add a notecard when no reference was selected, resolves an issue in Google Books online search where the book cover art was not displayed, updates the database engine, and removes the Attachment Flow view.

Shortly after this release, Sonny Software issued version 13.5.1 to fix issues that arose with the new universal build, including an error when editing a label in the preferences, a bug that prevented Z39.50 searches, and a failure to find and display PDFs containing Unicode characters.
