Ook deze vrijdag staat er weer een nieuwe versie van Calibre voor je klaar. Calibre is een opensource- en crossplatform-e-book-beheerprogramma. Het kan onder andere e-boeken van en naar readers kopiëren en ze converteren om ze geschikt te maken voor de diverse soorten e-readers. Verder kan het kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss-feeds omzetten naar e-bookformaat, en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. Hieronder is te vinden welke veranderingen en verbeteringen er deze week zijn aangebracht.

New Features

• Complete rewrite of the PDF Output engine, to support links and fix various bugs
  Calibre now has a new PDF output engine that supports links in the text. It also fixes various bugs, detailed below. In order to implement support for links and fix these bugs, the engine had to be completely rewritten, so there may be some regressions.
• Show disabled device plugins in Preferences->Ignored Devices
• Get Books: Fix Smashwords, Google books and B&N stores. Add Nook UK store
• Allow series numbers lower than -100 for custom series columns.
• Add mass storage driver for rockhip based android smart phones

Bug Fixes

• PDF Output: Fix custom page sizes not working on OS X
• PDF Output: Fix embedding of many fonts not supported (note that embedding of OpenType fonts with Postscript outlines is still not supported on windows, though it is supported on other operating systems)
• PDF Output: Fix crashes converting some books to PDF on OS X
• HTML Input: Handle entities inside href attributes when following the links in an HTML file.
