Bug Description

Release: 0.6.42 [20 Feb, 2010]
Bug Fixes

    * Fix regression that broke catalog generation from the Graphical User Interface in 0.6.41
    * Fix right edge of comics like Dilbert and xkcd getting cut off on the SONY reader. More generally, take page margins into account when rescaling images to fit in the selected output profile.

Release: 0.6.41 [19 Feb, 2010]
New Features

    * Make calibre timezone aware. This required lots of internal changes, so I may have broken something
    * Allow editing of metadata in DRMed MOBI files
    * ebook-convert: Allow passing URLs as argument to --cover

      Closes tickets: 4909 [External link]
    * OS X/linux driver for EB511
    * ebook-meta: Allow changing of published date
    * Make replacing of files in ZIP archives faster and (hopefully) more robust
    * Speed optimization for viewing large EPUB files
    * Speed up parsing of OPF files

      Closes tickets: 4908 [External link]

Bug Fixes

    * Fix drag and drop of multiple books to OS X dock icon

      Closes tickets: 4849 [External link]
    * MOBI Output: Encode titles as UTF-8 in the PalmDoc header as well as the EXTH header, since there are apparently MOBI readers that use the title from the PalmDoc header in preference to the title from the EXTH header.
    * MOBI Output: Remove soft hyphens as the Kindle doesn't support them.

      Closes tickets: 4887 [External link]
    * Fix Boox main mem and SD card swapped on windows
    * Fix sending large ebook fiels to devices

      Closes tickets: 4896 [External link]
    * EPUB Output: Strip invalid anchors from NCX TOC as Adobe Digital Editions cries when it sees one

      Closes tickets: 4907 [External link]
    * EPUB metadata: Don't set title_sort as a file_as attribute, as the brain-dead OPF spec doesn't allow this
    * Make publishing the content server via mDNS a little more robust
    * Content server: Use new exact matching for greater precision when generating OPDS catalogs. Also fix regression that broke rowsing by Tags on Stanza.
    * Proper fix for breakage in LRF viewer caused by API change in QGraphicsItem in Qt 4.6

New Features

    * Ability to perform exact match and regular expression based searches.

      Closes tickets: 4830 [External link]

      "You can now perform exact match searches by prefixing your search term with an =. So for example, tag:=fiction will match all tags named fiction, but not tags named non-fiction. Similarly, you can use regular expression based searches by prefixing the search term by ~."
    * Autodetect if a zip/rar file is actually a comic and if so, import it as CBZ/CBR

      Closes tickets: 4753 [External link]
    * Add plugin to automatically extract an ebook during import if it is in a zip/rar archive

Bug Fixes

    * Fix regression in 0.6.39 that broke the LRF viewer
    * ZIP/EPUB files: Try to detect file name encoding instead of assuming the name is encoded in UTF-8. Also correctly encode the extracted file name in the local filesystem encoding.

      Closes tickets: 4854 [External link]
    * Zip files: Workaround invalid zip files that contain end-of-file comments but set comment size to zero

This bug was fixed in the package calibre - 0.6.42+dfsg-0ubuntu1

---------------
calibre (0.6.42+dfsg-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. (LP: #527190)
  * Drop bundled_cssutils_profiles.patch, and associated handling in
    debian/rules: New upstream release now uses the external python-cssutils
    and python-encutils. Bump python-cssutils dependency to >= 0.9.6 to ensure
    that cssutils.profiles is available.
  * debian/calibre.install: Do not install the udev rules. Thy are useless
    right now, and use obsolete syntax as well.
