Versie 0.8.5 van het opensource e-book-managementprogramma Calibre is uitgebracht. Calibre kan overweg met bijna alle soorten e-books en e-readers en maakt het onder andere mogelijk om e-books te converteren tussen de diverse formaten om ze op deze manier beschikbaar te maken voor alle platforms. Daarnaast kan het ook nieuwsartikelen op basis van RSS omzetten naar e-bookformaat en op deze manier nieuws beschikbaar maken op e-readers. De belangrijkste verandering is dat Calibre nu ook kan worden gebruikt zonder eerst geïnstalleerd te worden, in zogenaamde portable mode. Er is uiteraard meer veranderd:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- A new 'portable' calibre build, useful if you like to carry around calibre and its library on a USB key. For details, see here.
- E-book viewer: Remember the last used font size multiplier.
- Preliminary support for the Kobo Touch. Drivers for the ZTE v9 tablet, Samsung S2, Notion Ink Adam and PocketBook 360+
- When downloading metadata merge rather than replace tags
- Edit metadata dialog: When pasting in an ISBN, if not valid ISBN if present on the clipboard popup a box for the user to enter the ISBN
- Windows build: Add code to load .pyd python extensions from a zip file. This allows many more files in the calibre installation to be zipped up, speeding up the installer.
- Add an action to remove all formats from the selected books to the remove books button
New news sources
- Various minor bug fixes to the column coloring code
- Fix the not() template function
- Nook Color/TSR: When sending books to the storage card place them in the My Files/Books subdirectory. Also do not upload cover thumbnails as users report that the NC/TSR don't use them.
- Get Books: Update plugins for Amazon and B&N stores to handle website changes. Enable some stores by default on first run. Add Zixo store
- Comic Input: Replace the # character in filenames as it can cause problem with conversion/vieweing.
- When writing files to zipfile, reset timestamp if it doesn't fit in 1980's vintage storage structures
- Amazon metadata plugin: Fix parsing of published date from amazon.de when it has februar in it
