Download Caliber 0.7.53

Caliber is an e-book management program and can handle almost all types of e-books and e-readers. Among other things, it makes it possible to convert e-books between the various formats in order to make e-books available on all platforms. In addition, it can also convert news articles based on RSS to e-book format and in this way make news available on e-readers. Caliber is intensively developed and a new version is released every week. Version 0.7.53 was released on Friday, because last week’s version 0.7.51 was followed by 0.7.52 that same day due to a minor problem.

Release: 0.7.53

New Features

• Email delivery: You can now specify a subject that caliber will use when sending emails per email account, configured in Preferences->Sending by email. The subject is a template of the same kind used in Save to Disk, etc. So you can specify the title/authors/series/whatever in the template.
• Apple driver: When an iDevice is detected, inform the user about the Connect to iTunes method instead of trying to connect directly to the device, as the latter can be buggy. see [External link] ?t=127883 for details
• SONY driver: Search for books on the device in all directories not just database/media/books. This can be turned off by customizing the SONY plugin in Preferences->Plugins
• EPUB Output: Remove any margins specified via an Adobe page template in the input document. This means that the margins psecified in caliber are more likely to be the actual margins used.
• When reading metadata from filenames, allow publisher and published date to be read from the filename
• Remove the option to show a second tool bar from Preferences->Look & Feel. Instead go to Preferences->Toolbars and add items to the second toolbar to control exactly what is visible there.
• Add a tweak that can be used to have the caliber content server listen for IPv6 connections.
• When clicking Next or Previous in the edit metadata dialog, then active book in the main book list is also changed
• Remember the previously used setting for Match all/Match any under the Tag Browser when caliber restarts
• FB2 Output: Option to set the FB2 genre explicitly.

• E-book viewer: Fix viewer losing place in very long single file documents when window resized.
• MOBI Output: Workaround for Amazon’s MOBI renderer not rendering top margins on ul and ol tags.
