De vierde update van Calibre versie is 2.0 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 programma kranten, tijdschriften en nieuwsartikelen op basis van rss-feeds omzetten in e-bookformaat, en kunnen er boeken worden aangeschaft bij de bekende webwinkels. Bijna elke week komt er een nieuwe versie uit, maar verleden week gooide de Mac OS X 10.9.5-update roet in het eten.
In versie 2.0 is onder meer overgestapt op Qt5 voor de gebruikersinterface en zijn er verbeteringen met Android-devices onder OS X. In versie 2.4.0 zijn verder nog de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:
New FeaturesBug Fixes
- An all new random cover generation algorithm, which generates covers using many different color schemes and cover styles.
Now when you click the Generate cover button in the Edit Metadata dialog a cover based on the book metadata is generated using random colors and styles. You can customize the random cover generation by long clicking the Generate Cover button, which will popup a dialog where you can create new color schemes and customize other aspects of the generated cover as well.- Edit Book: Redesign the saved searches pop-up as a dockable window. Editing saved searches now happens inline and the global search/replace keyboard shortcuts work in the saved searches window.
- Edit book: Change the text of the 'Mark selected text' menu entry depending on whether it will mark or unmark the text.
- Edit metadata dialog: Allow undoing a metadata download by long-clicking the Download metadata button and choosing "Undo last metadata download"
- Edit metadata dialog: Allow undoing the changes to individual fields by right clicking on the field and selecting Undo after a metadata download. Closes tickets: 1223367.
- Download metadata dialog: Allow using Enter key to select cover and left/right keys to move between metadata results. Closes tickets: 1369178.
- Fix the row numbers in the book list remaining wide when switching libraries if some books were marked before the switch. Closes tickets: 1369152.
- Fix keyboard focus not going to cover grid after doing a search. Closes tickets: 1369160.
- DOCX Input: Support for the keepNext paragraph property to keep successive paragraphs on the same page.
- Template language: New template functions: raw_list() to return the items in a list such as tags without any sorting/formatting applied to them; author_sorts() to return the author sort strings from the authors table for the authors in the book.
New news sources
- Fix a regression in 2.3 that broke creation of collections on the device when metadata management was set to manual. Closes tickets: 1371976.
- E-book viewer: Fix displaying multiple pages per screen not working in calibre 2.x with some books, due to a change in Qt 5. Closes tickets: 1372066.
- E-book viewer: Fix unintuitive behavior of back and forward buttons when going all the way back to the first item in the history. Closes tickets: 1367992.
- Conversion: Do not allow default (user-agent) style rules to ever override style rules defined in the input document, regardless of CSS selector specificity. Closes tickets: 1369753.
