Er is deze week geen nieuwe stabiele versie van Calibre uitgekomen, maar er kan wel een bètarelease van versie 2.0 worden opgehaald. 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 programma kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss-feeds omzetten in e-bookformaat, en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. In versie 2.0 is onder meer overstapt op Qt5 voor gebruikersinterface en zijn er verbeteringen met Android-devices onder OS X.
Beta testers for calibre 2.0 needed
Calibre 2.0 is ready for testing. It is based on the next generation of Qt (the graphics toolkit calibre uses). This will bring many benefits to calibre going forward, but before I release calibre 2.0, I would appreciate it if some of you could help beta test it. Some of the major new features in calibre 2.0 are:Most calibre third-party plugins have already been ported to work with calibre 2.0 and indeed this beta has been used and tested by many people already, so you should have no problems. But just in case you do, it is perfectly safe to uninstall the beta and go back to the main calibre release, if needed.
- Support for Android phones and tablets on OS X, calibre should now detect and connect to them, just as it already does on windows and linux
- The calibre command line tools no longer need a running X server on linux, so no more need to use xvfb-run
- Thanks to bug fixes in Qt, the calibre viewer and editor no longer have problems with embedded fonts where the font family name inside the font does not match the name used in the @font-face rule.
- Qt has changed the look & feel of its widgets (buttons/scrollbars/boxes/etc.) to a new "Fusion" theme that is supposed to be more "modern". As with most things UI related, I suspect some of you will like the changes and some of you will not.

Ebooks inladen, en op de metadata knop rammen duurt toch geen jaren?
