Zoals bijna elke vrijdag kan er ook vandaag weer een nieuwe versie van Calibre worden opgehaald. Calibre is een opensource- en crossplatform-e-bookbeheerprogramma. Het kan onder andere e-boeken van en naar readers kopiëren en 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. Het changelog van release 0.8.64 ziet er als volgt uit:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- E-book viewer: Allow viewing images in the book in a separate pop-up window by right clicking on the image. Useful if you want to keep some image, like a map to the side while reading the book.
- Catalogs: Allow generation of catalogs in AZW3 format. Also add more powerful configuration options to exclude books and set prefixes. See here for details.
- Generate a PDF version of the User Manual
New news sources
- News download: Fix broken handling of nesting for HTML 5 tags when parsing with BeautifulSoup
- EPUB: Handle files in the EPUB that have semi-colons in their file names. This means in particular using URL escaping when creating the NCX as ADE cannot handle unescaped semi-colons in the NCX.
- Conversion pipeline: Ignore unparseable CSS instead of erroring out on it.
- When setting up a column coloring rule based on the languages column, allow entry of localized language names instead of only ISO codes
- Catalogs: Generate cover for mobi/azw3 catalogs
- Update the last modified column record of a book, whenever a format is added to the book.
- E-book viewer: Fix line scrolling stops at breaks option not working in paged mode
- MOBI Output: Fix ToC at start option having no effect when converting some input documents that have an out-of-spine ToC.
- Catalog Generation: When generating EPUB/MOBI catalogs add more flexible rules for excluding books. Also add rules to customize the prefix characters used.
- Make setting published date using metadata search/replace more robust.
- Tag Browser: Flatten the display of sub-groups when sort by is not set to 'name'.
- Fix isbn:false not matching if other identifiers are attached to the book.
