Download Caliber 0.8.41

Every Friday a new version of Caliber is released 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. Furthermore, it can 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 0.8.41 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• Driver for Sony Experia Play 4G
• News download system: Allow use of __future__ in recipes, and do not change line numbers of code in the recipe when compiling it
• Use the My Documents folder as the default location for the Caliber Library folder on first start in windows
• Add a tweak to Preferences->Tweaks to control the order in which categories appear in the Tag Browser
• Tag Browser: Add an entry to the right click menu to quickly delete tags
• Amazon metadata download: Try to scrape series information from the amazon details page. Note that currently very few books have series info available.

• Content server: Add favicon to OPDS feeds.
