Download previous version 5.0.59 / problems with RTF /ODF scan plugin

bnmont
Hi,
I'm wondering if someone can supply the link for 5.0.59. When I updated to 5.0.60, it caused problems with the RTF/ODF scan plugin, where many of the citations (after using the plugin with Scannable Cite) now improperly format Chicago Style author-note citations. Some citations now show up with last name first initial or both first and last name, instead of just last name + year.

I know this is a less stable version, but my manuscript is due this week, and I'm desperate to have properly formatted citations.

Thanks!

    This is almost certainly unrelated to the Zotero version change and instead due to https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation
    5.0.60 included no relevant changes in Zotero (and the citation formatting is done by Zotero alone; the add-on is not involved in that part of the process at all)

    You can download the 5.0.59 by going to https://www.zotero.org/download/ and copying the _link_ of the download button and then changing version=5.0.60 to version=5.0.59 but it's going to be a waste of time.

    Hi,
    Thanks a bunch for your note and link.

    I downloaded 5.0.59, and it works perfectly. Something with 5.0.60 is hanging up the citation format.

    If you reinstall 5.0.60, does the problem come back? There were very few changes in 5.0.60, and no changes that should be relevant here.
