Bug Fixes

  • KF8 Output: Fix calibre produced KF8 files not showing the ‘Use publisher font’ option on the Kindle Touch when they have embedded fonts
  • Txt/fb2/rtf/pml/rb output: Fix non-visibile element’s tail text (which should be visible) is being ignored when it shouldn’t.
  • Book details panel: When displaying a link to amazon, use a country specific name like amazon.fr instead of using amazon.com for all countries
  • Conversion: When splitting on page breaks, ignore page-breaks with values of auto and inherit.
  • Metadata jacket: Specify foreground in addition to the background color for the title banner so that it remain readable if the user tries to monkey with the CSS in the viewer.
  • PDF Output: Fix rendering of cover as first age of PDF (ignore margins so that the image covers the entire page)
  • Linux binaries: Bundle libglib to avoid incompatibilities with glib on various distros.
  • Fix find_identical_books() choking on books with too many authors
