-  * Import and export translators now show determinate progress bars. By default, Zotero computes progress by the percentage of the file read for import, or the percentage of items retrieved using Zotero.nextItem() for export. Translators can override this by calling Zotero.setProgress(percentage) to set the percentage the progress bar displays, or Zotero.setProgress(null) to show an indeterminate indicator.

-====== Changes in Zotero 2.1.9 (not yet released) ======
+===== Shorthand syntax =====
+Z is now a shortcut for Zotero in translators, and ZU is a shortcut for Zotero.Utilities.

+===== XPath utility functions =====
-  * Z is now a shortcut for Zotero in translators, and ZU is a shortcut for Zotero.Utilities.
-  * New utility functions:
     * <code>Zotero.Utilities.xpath(element, xpath[, namespaces])</code> Accepts a DOM element, document, or array of elements or documents and evaluates an XPath, optionally interpreting namespace prefixes using a object whose keys correspond to namespace prefixes and whose values correspond to namespace URIs. The result is an array of nodes matching the XPath.
     * <code>Zotero.Utilities.xpathText(element, xpath[, namespaces[, delimiter]])</code> Behaves similarly to Zotero.Utilities.xpath, but the result is the textContent of all matching nodes, joined by a delimiter if more than one node matched. If no delimiter is specified, ", " is used.
