Versie 1.1 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. Elke vrijdag verschijnt er een nieuwe versie en in deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- Rewrite the HTML metadata parser to make it faster and more robust. Closes tickets: 1217751

- PocketBook driver: Scan for books files in the entire device not just in the 'books' folder
New news sources
- Fix a regression in 1.0 that could cause the dates in custom date-type columns to change in some timezones when using the edit metadata dialog to make unrelated changes. Closes tickets: 1217096
- When replacing formats in a book with a very long title+authors on windows, calibre could leave behind the old format file, because the filename shortening algorithm has changed. Handle that case.

- Fix calibredb not updating the running calibre instance properly in 1.0. Closes tickets: 1218177

- Fix a regression that broke downloading news when output format is set to PDF
- Creating a catalog with an already existing catalog in the library would cause a temporary duplicate entry in the book list. Also fix the author sort for catalogs generated in the AZW3 format not being correct.
- EPUB metadata: When changing the title in an EPUB 2.0 file that has multiple titles, remove the extra titles. Closes tickets: 1211949

- Virtual Library tabs: If the user activates a hidden tab via the Virtual Library button, change the name of the All Books tab to reflect the hidden virtual library. Closes tickets: 1216174
