Lots of little changes in this version to make RECAP more reliable:

  1. We now use the goDLS javascript function in the PACER pages to extract the case and document IDs, and use URLs as a fallback. This will be more reliable for merged dockets and in general.

  2. We have improved our URL parsers for document and case IDs.

  3. Support for show_doc links is now back so we can better support websites like Plainsite, that rely on them.

  4. We've fixed how we serve PDF files for users that prefer to use an external PDF viewer. On Chrome, we're able to make this work for you automatically. In Firefox, if you want to have good file names while using an external PDF viewer, you'll see a new option to "Force external PDF viewing (download PDFs)" (this option is only available in Firefox — in chrome it's set automatically depending on your settings):

We've also made tweaks to CourtListener that will make uploading work more consistently. Between this upgrade and the tweaks to CourtListener, we expect to capture many more of the documents that are uploaded.

Thanks to @johnhawkinson, and all of our testers.
