Verleden week was hoofdontwikkelaar Kovid Goyal even op reis, maar deze vrijdag staat er gewoon weer een nieuwe versie van Calibre voor je klaar. Calibre is een opensource- en crossplatform-e-bookbeheerprogramma. Het kan onder andere alle relevante informatie en kaftafbeeldingen opzoeken en e-boeken converteren om ze geschikt te maken voor de diverse soorten e-readers. Verder kan het kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss-feeds omzetten in e-bookformaat, en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. Elke vrijdag verschijnt er een nieuwe versie en het changelog voor versie 0.9.28 ziet er als volgt uit:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- Virtual Libraries: Easily partition your large calibre library into smaller 'virtual' libraries
A virtual library is a way to tell calibre to open only a subset of a normal library. For example, you might want to only work with books by a certain author, or books having only a certain tag. To use this feature, click the button labeled 'Virtual Library' to the left of the search bar. For details, see http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/virtual_libraries.html This feature used to be called 'Search restriction', the new virtual libraries are easier to use, but otherwise fulfil the same function.- Book details panel: Allow copying of links in the book details panel by right clicking on them.
