Software-update: Calibre 0.8.26

Dit weekeinde is er zoals gebruikelijk weer een nieuwe versie van Calibre verschenen. Dit opensource en crossplatform e-book-beheerprogramma kan onder andere e-books converteren tussen de diverse bestandsformaten om ze zo beschikbaar te maken voor de diverse soorten e-readers. Verder kan het ook nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss omzetten naar e-bookformaat en is er een viewer waarmee e-books op de computer kunnen worden gelezen. In versie 0.8.26 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

New Features

• Tweak to control sorting of date type columns. You can choose to have them sorted only by displayed fields
• Driver for the Trekstor 3.0
• Performance improvements when evaluating templates, and in particular general program mode templates

Bug Fixes

• ODT Input: When converting to EPUB improve handling of large images placed inside small frames, to prevent them from obscuring text.
• EPUB Input: Automatically strip entries of type application/text from the spine. Apparently there are EPUB production tools out there that create them.
• Keep the startup splash screen visible until the GUI has fully completed initializing.
• ODT Input: Fix handling of span tags containing only whitespace.
• On windows when changing title or author via the main book list, handle the case of one of the books files being open in another program more gracefully.
• When adding a format to an existing book record, ensure that no changes are made to the database until after the file operations have succeeded.
• Fix bug that prevented configuring which fields to download metadata for when adding books by ISBN
• Fix Japanese characters not being crrectly displayed on index pages in news downloads for the SONY T1
• Get Books: Fix booleans in search expressions not working in non-English calibre versions
• Fix a bug in the support for hours/minutes/seconds in datetime format strings
• Treat an author_sort value of 'Unknown' the same way as unknown authors are treated in template processing
• Detect SD card in Kobo Vox
• Amazon metadata download: Workaround for change in Amazon website causing some books to have incorrect ratings downloaded

New news sources

• Techtarget by Julio Map

Improved news sources

• Metro NL
