Versie 1.0 van Calibre is uitgekomen. 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. Sinds versie 0.9 is onder andere de database geöptimaliseerd, kan de bibliotheek in kleinere virtuele collecties worden opgedeeld en zijn er diverse verbeteringen aangebracht in het importeren, converteren, opschonen en exporteren van boeken.
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- A new 'cover grid' view of the books in your calibre library
Excellent for judging your books by their covers :) To use click the button with the icon of a grid in the bottom right corner of the main window. It can be configured via Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Cover Grid- A new, faster database backend
The database backend in calibre has been re-written from scratch. The new code is smaller, more robust and much faster than the old code. The exact speedup will depend on the number of books and number and type of custom columns in your library. Users have reported calibre startup times decreasing by a factor of 2-3 times.- For a summary of the major changes in calibre between 0.9 and 1.0, see http://calibre-ebook.com/new-in/ten
