Download Caliber 0.8.39

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 0.8.39 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• Auto-adding: Add an option to check for duplicates when auto adding.
• Content server: Export a second record via mDNS that points to the full OPDS feed in addition to the one pointing to the Stanza feed. The new record is of type _calibre._tcp.
• Allow specifying a set of categories that are not partitioned even if they contain a large number of items in the Tag Browser. Preference is available under Look & Feel->Tag Browser
• Allow setting a URL prefix for the content server that run embedded in the caliber GUI as well.
• Allow output of identifiers data in CSV/XML/BiBTeX catalogs
• Driver for Motorola Droid XT910, Nokia E71 and HTC EVO 3D.
• Cut down the time taken to launch worker processes by 40%
• You can now configure the caliber settings for the currently connected device by right clicking on the device icon in the toolbar, instead of having to go through Preferences->Plugins

Bug Fixes

• Auto-adding: Do not add incomplete files when files are downloaded directly into the auto add folder.
• When running multiple delete from device jobs, fix the device view sometimes marking the wrong books as being deleted, after the first delete job completes.
• MOBI Input: Handle files that have spurious closing and/or tags in their markup.
• RTF Input: Strip out false color specifications, as they cause artifacts when converted to MOBI
