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 0.8.55 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- Add a new 'Calibre style' interface look that is more modern than the default look. You can select it via Preferences->Look & Feel->User interface style.
- New, subtler look for the Tag Browser
- Driver for Trekstor Pyrus and Pantech Android Tablet
- Conversion pipeline: Handle guide elements with incorrectly cased hrefs. Also handle guide elements of type coverimagestandard and thumbimagestandard.
- Allow user to customize trekstor plugin to send books into sub directories.
- EPUB Input: Add support for EPUB files that use the IDPF font obfuscation algorithm. Apparently, people have started producing these now.
- Save single format to disk: Only show the format available in the selected books.
New news sources
- MOBI Output: When using the insert metadata at start of book option, do not use a table to layout the metadata, as the Kindle Fire crashes when rendering the table.
- Device detection: Fix a bug that could cause device detection to fail completely if devices with certain vendor/product ids are connected.
- MOBI Output: When rasterizing svgs only compute style information when an actual svg image is present. Small speedup when converting large svg-free documents to MOBI.
- SONY T1 driver: Fix support for collections of books placed on the SD card
- Fix partitioning problems in tag browser with fields that have no name, such as identifiers and formats
- Welcome wizard: Preferentially use the kindle email address set as default when more than one such address exists.
- Fix regression in 0.8.54 that broke the use of the shortcut Alt+A to select books by the same author
