New Features

• Content server: Return the correct last modified date when serving ebook files. Also allow getting of book metadata as /get/opf/


• Driver for the COBY MP977


• Get Books: Remove epub bud store. Add Ozon.ru and e-knigni.net stores. Fix broken amazon UK and DE stores.


• Add a new tweak to Preferences->Tweaks that allows auto generation of series numbers when importing books with a series name, but no number

Bug Fixes

• Fix a regression in 0.8.11 that broke calibre on linux systems that use a file system encoding that cannot support cyrillic characters


• Fix long titles not wrapping in cover browser


• When adding books, handle the case of files without read permission more gracefully.


• When changing metadata in EPUB files do not use the opf: namespace prefix on newly created elements. Apparently, FBReaderJ doesn't understand XML namespaces.


• Prevent metadata download from returning published dates earlier than 101 A.D.


• Fix a bug where dates before 101AD in the database could cause errors


• Fix an error in the book details panel if the user sets the default author link to blank
