Download Caliber 0.8.46

A new version of Caliber is released almost every Friday and today there is no deviating from it. 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 0.8.46 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• Auto adding: When automatically adding files from a folder, automatically convert the files to the current output format after adding. This can be turned off via Preferences->Adding Books->Automatic Adding.
• E-book viewer: When reading a MOBI file that is actually a KF8 book, show the format as being KF8
• Content server: Workaround for android stock browser not support HTTP AUTH.
• Edit metadata dialog: Change the remove unused series button to a clear series button (as the remove unused series function is now automatic)
• Driver for PocketBook 622.

Bug Fixes

• Run metadata downloads in a separate process to workaround memory leaks in third party plugins. Also removes the need to break up bulk metadata downloads into 100 book batches.
• Make tag browser filtering work when capital letters are entered.
• EPUB metadata: Ignore urn:isbn: prefix from ISBN declaration when reading metadata
• Get books: Fix feedbooks store not showing all available formats
• KF8 Input: When the KF8 book has no metadata ToC, try to extract the ToC from the HTML instead.
• Fix regression that broke access to Preferences via the Preferences item in the caliber menu on OS X
• Fix bug that ignored metadata specified on the command line when using calibredb add
