 * Improved the constraints that keep the image in the viewer, specifically when zoomed out a lot (#2160 @joedf)
 * You can now provide an element for the navigator (as an alternative to an ID) (#1303 @cameronbaney, #2166 #2175 @joedf)
+* Now supporting IIIF "id" and "identifier" in addition to "@id" (#2173 @ahankinson)
