## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.45 — 2026-09-02

This build makes Biblioplex’s already best-in-class scanner even better, delivering improved accuracy, expanded coverage for unusual prints and edge cases, and lightning-fast performance.

To achieve this, the app’s databases have been overhauled, unlocking bulk download and import of Scryfall data for offline use with Biblioplex-unique supplements and optimizations.

On the first launch after applying this update, database upgrades may take up to 10 minutes to complete but should not block app usage in the meantime. You can also leave the app and come back — work will automatically pause and resume.

Once completed, the database upgrades should improve performance, preserve functionality when the device is offline or Scryfall service is degraded, and reduce network, processor, and power usage. Future database refreshes can be performed in the background when your device is plugged in and has an active network connection.

This build also delivers various other enhancements and fixes, including for two notable bugs: the first could have stalled importation of historical rulebooks, and the second prevented dynamic price-alert thresholds from updating as often as they should.
