Nagenoeg elke vrijdag verschijnt er een nieuwe versie van Calibre en ook vandaag wordt daar niet van afgeweken. 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 omzetten naar e-bookformaat en kunnen boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. In versie 0.8.53 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- Kindle Touch/4 driver: Upload cover thumbnails when sending books to device by USB to workaround Amazon bug of not displaying covers for sync-enabled books
- Support for updating metadata in FB2 files
- Set a different background color when choosing formats to not delete as opposed to choosing format to delete.
- E-book viewer: Add an option to prevent the up and down arrow keys from scrolling past page breaks
- Get Books: Remove ebookshoppe.com at the website's request
New news sources
- PDF Input: Support image rotation commands in PDF files. Fixes the long standing problem of some images being flipped when converting from PDF in calibre.
- Fix a regression in 0.8.51 that caused conversion to HTMLZ to not have any CSS
- Get Books: Fix website change at kobo.com causing prices not to be found
- Edit the time in the 24 hour clock when calibre's interface language is set to German.
- MOBI Output: When generating joint KF8/MOBI6 .mobi files set the text length field in the MOBI 6 header correctly.
- ODT Input: More workarounds for LibreOffice 3.5's habit of inserting pointless margin:100% directives everywhere.
- Fix regression that broke smarten punctuation when quotes were next to html tags.
- Fix published date from ozon.ru wrong in some timezones
- Catalogs: Handle the use of custom columns with non-ascii names correctly
- Conversion pipeline: Remove the attempt to detect and autocorrect if text will go off the left edge of the page, as it was a rather crude heuristic. Also do not remove fake margins if the book uses negative text indents on the margined elements.
- KF8 Output: Set offsets to tags in the skeleton the same way kindlegen does. Also linearize non linear ToCs to ensure section to section jumping works.
- Conversion pipeline: Use correct default value of 'inherit' for font-family and font-size when normalizing the shorthand font property.
- When running python scripts via calibre-debug ensure that user plugins are loaded
