Download Caliber 0.8.31
A new version of Caliber is released every Friday and today is no exception. Caliber is an open source and cross platform e-book management tool. Among other things, it can copy e-books to and from readers and convert them to make them suitable for the various types of e-readers. It can also convert newspapers, magazines and news articles based on RSS to e-book format and books can be purchased from well-known web stores. In version 0.8.31 the following changes and improvements have been made:
New Features
- Conversion engine: When parsing invalid XHTML use the HTML 5 algorithm, for greater robustness.
- Driver for PocketBook 611 and Lenovo IdeaPad
- Allow customization of the order in which custom column editing is performed in the edit metadata dialog. Setting is available via Preferences->Tweaks.
- MOBI news download: Allow recipes to set a thumbnail for entries in the periodical table of contents. Currently used by the NYTimes, WSJ, Independent, GUardian and Globe and Mail recipes
- E-book viewer: Add an option to the right click menu to search for the currently selected word
- Automatically hide the no internet connection available error message if the connection is restored before the user clicks OK
Bug Fixes
- Fix comments not hidden in Book details panel when they are turned off via Preferences->Look & Feel->Book Details
- E-book viewer: Do not popup an error message if the user tries to use the mouse wheel to scroll before a document is loaded.
- Add docx to the list of ebook extensions.
- When downloading metadata from non-English Amazon websites, do not correct the case of book titles.
- Fix regression in 0.8.30 that broke bulk conversion of a single book.
- When minimized to system tray do not display the no internet connection error as a dialog box, instead use a system tray notification
- Catalog generation: Include the series_index field for custom series columns as well
- Comic Input: Do not rescale images when using the Tablet output profile (or any output profile with a screen size larger than 3000×3000)
- HTML Input: Ignore unparseable URLs instead of crashing on them.
