Calibre is een e-book-managementprogramma en kan overweg met bijna alle soorten e-books en e-readers. Het maakt het onder andere mogelijk om e-books te converteren tussen de diverse formaten om op deze manier e-books beschikbaar te maken op alle platformen. Daarnaast kan het ook nieuwsartikelen op basis van RSS omzetten naar e-bookformaat en op deze manier nieuws beschikbaar maken op e-readers. Calibre wordt intensief ontwikkeld en elke week verschijnt er weer een nieuwe versie. Vrijdag is versie 0.7.51 uitgekomen en deze kent het volgende changelog:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- Conversion: Detect and remove fake page margins that are specified as a margin on (nearly) every paragraph.
- This can be turned off via an option under Structure Detection, in case it removes margins that should have been kept.
- Windows build: All the python code and recipes are now put into zip files. This should decrease the amount of time the windows installer spends 'calculating free space'
- OSX and Linux: Add a setting in Preferences->Behavior to control the priority with which calibre worker processes run. This setting was already available on windows.
- Driver for HTC Thunderbolt, T-Mobile Optimus, Archos 43 and Blackberry OS6
- A new 'authors type' custom column
- When building calibre from source note that calibre now absolutely requires python >= 2.7
- Add the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+R to restart calibre in debug mode
New news sources
- Fix dragging and dropping lots of books from the book list to the Tag Browser was broken
- Change the shebang in the calibre launcher script on linux to explicitly use python2 rather than python
- When adding formats do not corrupt the added file if the user tries to add an existing format to itself
- Fix drag and drop to add files that contain the # character in the filename
- Tag editor shouldn't add empty tags

- News download: Update RSS feedparser module to latest version
- Various fixes to the zipfile module in calibre to handle 64 bit zipfiles and bring it up to date with the zip file module in the python stdlib
- News download: Handle titles with ASCII control codes in them.
