New Features

• Add an option to control how completion works when editing authors/tags/series/etc. Close tickets: 1264304
  By default, when completing items, caliber will show you all the candidates that start with the text you have already typed. You can instead have it show all candidates that contain the text you have already typed. To do this, go to Preferences->Tweaks->Completion mode. For example, if you type asi it will now match both Asimov and Quasimodo, whereas the default behavior would match only Asimov.
