Filter by availability, and more retailers (plus bug fixes!)

Retailer Availability filter
It's time for a new feature! The retailer listing pages now have a new option - filter by availability. The last release included sorting options for retailer listings, however what was really missing was the ability to remove "Out of Stock" or "Retired" sets when hunting for bargains. With the availability filter, you can easily show only sets that are "In Stock" or "Available now" or "Coming soon", or even take a look at all sets that are "Sold out" or "Retired".
Note that BrickHawk does not track availability on all retailers yet, which is why you won't see the filter on some retailers. The plan is to eventually track availability on all retailers though, so stay tuned!
Remember to refresh BrickHawk in your web browser to get the latest version!
More retailers
One of the most common requests that BrickHawk gets is for "more retailers please!". Over the last few weeks another five new retailers have been added, bringing the total number of retailers to 23!

Bug fixes
Like any app, from time-to-time bugs happen. There's been a lot of focus on resolving some issues that have popped up over the last month, to ensure that BrickHawk never skips a beat. The key ones include:
- Occasionally, price change emails were not being triggered. This was occurring about 3-4 times a week, and whilst it only represents a tiny percentage of the thousands of emails that are sent from BrickHawk, it wasn't good enough! BrickHawk now retries several times if the email is not triggered, and if it still fails, then an alert is sent to yours truly to manually trigger the email (thankfully that's yet to happen, as the second retry has always been enough to get it through!).
- When sorting by "Percentage difference to RRP", price changes showing the initial set listing for a retailer (i.e. the first time the retailer listed the set, indicated by the "NEW!" tag) were not appearing correctly in the sort. This was resolved.
- Sets that you had Hawked were not appearing in retailer listings unless you checked "Hawked only" sets (which only showed sets you Hawked). This has been fixed so that when "Hawked only" is unchecked, all sets (including those you have Hawked) will show.
Thank you!
Finally, a big Thank you to you for your continued support of BrickHawk. It's truly appreciated, and also great motivation to continue building and enhancing BrickHawk.
There are still more features, more retailers and more ideas planned for BrickHawk. As always, you will be the first to know :)
