Release Notes
Release notes are available for ILLiad Shipment Tracking Addon v2.0.0 and later.
The addon has been updated to use the WebView2 internal browser and put in a public GitHub repo: GitHub - AtlasSystems/ILLiad-ShipmentTracking-Addon
In addition, the following changes were made, mostly to bring it in line with modern addons:
AtlasHelpers.lua was added to the addon's folder, since it is no longer installed in its own directory by default.
The FedEx tracking URL was updated to https://www.fedex.com/wtrk/track/?trknbr= . The previous URL no longer worked.
A custom logger was added and log lines from the addon now display as coming from "AtlasSystems.Addons.ShipmentTracking" in the client log.
Debug logging is now enabled without editing the addon's Lua file.
Configuration
Addon settings are configured in the Manage Addons form. Shipping Tracking displays tracking information based on a given tracking number.

Using this Addon
To use the Shipping Tracking Addon, click the Shipments tab on the Loan request form.
If Shipping Tracking has been set to search automatically for the tracking number, the form will open to the appropriate search result for the tracking number.
If the search is not set to start automatically, you will see a blank page instead of the Shipping Tracking information.
Start the search by clicking a Search button on the Shipments ribbon.
Smart Search will choose the appropriate courier service based on tracking number prefix, ShippingOptions field, or tracking number length, in that order of priority.
Use the Back, Forward, Stop and Refresh buttons in the Shipments ribbon to move between pages, refresh pages, and stop loading a page.
