New Features

• New tool to set metadata in the actual book files in the caliber library from the updated metadata in the caliber database.
  To use it go to Preferences->Toolbars and add the ‘Embed metadata’ tool to the main toolbar. Then simply select the books whose files you want to update and click the Embed metadata button. Normally, caliber updates metadata in the book files whenever a file is exported from caliber. This tool is useful for people who want the files in the caliber library to have updated metadata as well.
