A few manga publishers are now beginning to sometimes use the 979 prefix instead of 978. This has presented a few issues from what I've noticed. Here's the releases so far in the encyclopedia containing the prefix that I know of.

release#46964
release#46450
release#46915

Releases containing the 979 prefix have to be manually added by an encyclopedia editor such as myself every single time, and only Barnes & Noble links will ever find the ISBN when attempting to add through the wizard (before telling you that ISBN isn't recognized and to report it in the forums). The system is also not breaking down the ISBN to show the company prefix and product ID like it does with other releases when you hover your mouse showing what each section of the ISBN means. The system will need to be tweaked to properly recognize these releases so they can be added by regular users through the wizard in the future, instead of manually by an encyclopedia editor every single time.
