Download Caliber 0.8.33

Every Friday a new version of Caliber is released and today there is no deviation 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 0.8.33 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• LIT Input: Switch to non-recursive algorithm, to allow conversion of files with deeply nested markup.
• Content server: Do not show the original_* formats in the mobile interface. Also upgrade to the latest CherryPy release.
• E-book viewer: Add option in viewer preferences to control how much the font size is changed when you click the make fonts bigger/smaller buttons.
• E-book viewer: Allow changing font size via Ctrl+Mouse wheel
• Kobo driver: Hide previews and recommendations from the book list. You can customize the Kobo plugin if you would like to see them via Preferences->Plugins

Bug Fixes

• Fix unable to load plugins from files on GNOME/XFCE desktops
• Fix regression that broke customizing toolbars on non English caliber installs
