Download Caliber 0.8.69

Like almost every Friday, a new version of Caliber has been released. Caliber is an open source and cross platform ebook management program. 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 feeds to e-book format, and books can be purchased from well-known web stores. The changelog of release 0.8.69 looks like this:

New Features

• E-book viewer: Add a button to the toolbar to switch themes easily
• When downloading metadata for many books, if some of them fail, add an option to the downloaded message to show the failed books in the main book list, so that they can be individually processed easily
• Remember last used window size of the conversion dialogs.
• Kindle driver: Turn on sending of azw3 files to kindles by default, since the KK now has azw3 support
• Conversion: Add support for CSS pseudo classes :hover, :link, :visited, :first-line, :focus, :active, :first-letter
• Wireless device driver: Make the default save template not use folders

Bug Fixes

• Fix a memory leak when scanning for devices in windows
• Ebook viewer: When displaying mathematics, reflow equations that dont fit on a single line
