Download Caliber 0.8.60

Also this Friday a new version of Caliber is ready. 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 0.8.60 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New Features

• When searching, allow use of un-accented characters to match accented characters in all fields and all languages ​​(not just authors and English as before)
  The rules for matching un-accented characters are done in a language dependent way. So if your caliber interface language is set to English, n will match both n and ñ, but if it is set to Spanish, it will match only n, as in Spanish ñ is a separate alphabet in Spanish.
• Content server: Show a best guess for the IP address the content server is currently listening at in the connect/share menu.
• E-book viewer: Add an option to show a clock in full screen mode.
• Drivers for Paquito Imaginarium and a few Android phones
• HTMLZ Output: Add option to use the book title as the filename for the html file inside the archive
• Make the list of displayed fields in the book details panel a per library setting
• Have autocomplete on authors/series/tags/etc. ignore accented characters when finding matches (similar to the changes to search above)
• Support for retina displays in OS X (I hope)
• Remove the dependency on the zip command line tool when developing plugins

Bug Fixes

• Kobo driver: Do not perform write operations on the Kobo database if its version is newer than the latest version the driver supports, for safety
• KF8 Input: Ignore encoding declarations inside the html markup, as they are sometimes incorrect.
• Force refresh of cached composite column values ​​when values ​​in the cache are changed
• Fix a regression that broke caliber –shutdown-running-caliber on windows.
• Possible workaround for Qt 4.8.2 open file dialog failing on some linux distros.
• Catalogs: Fix some epubcheck errors when generating catalogs in EPUB format
• Linux installer: When calling the xdg utilities use system libraries rather than the libraries bundled with calibre
• Fix numeric sort for composite custom columns that use custom separators
• Tag browser: When grouping by first letter, handle languages ​​that have ‘letters’ made of more than one character. This can be turned off via Preferences->Tweaks
