Release Notes — v2.9.7

Bug Fixes

Atlas: Fixed linked region selection (#446)

Selecting a region on the Atlas page no longer causes unrelated regions to be highlighted as visited.

Previously, a fuzzy substring match was used as a fallback when matching visited regions to map features. This caused false positives for any region whose name happened to be contained in another — for example, selecting Nordrhein-Westfalen (Germany) would also highlight Nord (France), and selecting Hamburg would also highlight Ha (Bhutan).

The fuzzy match has been replaced with an exact lookup against the region's English name from the Natural Earth dataset, which correctly handles cases where Nominatim returns an English name (e.g. "Bavaria") that differs from the native name in the map data (e.g. "Bayern"), without producing false matches.

Additionally, the region name resolution from Nominatim now correctly prefers the state/province-level name over the county-level name, so newly geocoded places are associated with the right administrative region.
