What’s new in version 7.17.0

New Features
  • E-book viewer: Support for jumping to and displaying paper edition page numbers
  • Edit book: When text is selected allow changing the indentation of all lines in the selection by pressing Tab to increase one level or Shift+Tab to decrease one level
  • Allow a plugboard to change the series_index as well as the series name.
  • News download: News recipes can now optionally use browser engines based on either Qt or Chromium network stacks instead of mechanize
  • Email delivery: When sending emails to Kindles do not convert filenames to English letters as Amazon appears to have finally fixed their email servers to handle non-English filenames
  • Quickview: Add a tooltip displaying the full cell contents
Bug Fixes
  • Update the version of the Qt toolkit bundled with calibre to the latest available, fixing some crashes on macOS related to accessibility tools
  • Edit book: Fix searching marking incorrect text in the presence of non-BMP unicode characters
  • Conversion: Do not embed a second copy of a font when using the option to embed font family if the font is already embedded in the book
  • calibredb list: Fix a regression in the previous release that required setting --template-header to empty to use the list command
  • Tolino driver: Fix books from the Tolino cloud not being listed
  • Windows: Book details panel: Fix selection not visible when using the system default theme
  • Hide the Virtual library tab bar in device view as it is non-functional
