Changes in 2.4
New Features
- An all new random cover generation algorithm, which generates covers using many different color schemes and cover styles
- Now when you click the Generate cover button in the Edit Metadata dialog a cover based on the book metadata is generated using random colors and styles. You can customize the random cover generation by long clicking the Generate Cover button, which will popup a dialog where you can create new color schemes and customize other aspects of the generated cover as well.
- Edit Book: Redesign the saved searches pop-up as a dockable window. Editing saved searches now happens inline and the global search/replace keyboard shortcuts work in the saved searches window
- Edit book: Change the text of the 'Mark selected text' menu entry depending on whether it will mark or unmark the text
- Edit metadata dialog: Allow undoing a metadata download by long-clicking the Download metadata button and choosing "Undo last metadata download"
- Edit metadata dialog: Allow undoing the changes to individual fields by right clicking on the field and selecting Undo after a metadata download.
- Download metadata dialog: Allow using Enter key to select cover and left/right keys to move between metadata results.
- Fix the row numbers in the book list remaining wide when switching libraries if some books were marked before the switch.
- Fix keyboard focus not going to cover grid after doing a search.
- DOCX Input: Support for the keepNext paragraph property to keep successive paragraphs on the same page.
- Template language: New template functions: raw_list() to return the items in a list such as tags without any sorting/formatting applied to them; author_sorts() to return the author sort strings from the authors table for the authors in the book.
Bug Fixes
- Fix a regression in 2.3 that broke creation of collections on the device when metadata management was set to manual.
- E-book viewer: Fix displaying multiple pages per screen not working in calibre 2.x with some books, due to a change in Qt 5.
- E-book viewer: Fix unintuitive behavior of back and forward buttons when going all the way back to the first item in the history.
- Conversion: Do not allow default (user-agent) style rules to ever override style rules defined in the input document, regardless of CSS selector specificity
- Workaround for Qt 5 regression that broke selecting multiple icons in Preferences->Column icon rules
- Fix tags with angle brackets not being displayed in the Book Details panel
