  ARM Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life (Terry Pratchett, Jingo)

Calibre 5.0 released

([Development] Sep 25, 2020 15:03 UTC (Fri) (corbet))


[1]Version 5.0 of the Calibre electronic-book manager has been released. " There has been a lot of work on the calibre E-book viewer. It now supports Highlighting. The highlights can be colors, underlines, strikethrough, etc. and have added notes. All highlights can be both stored in EPUB files for easy sharing and centrally in the calibre library for easy browsing. Additionally, the E-book viewer now supports both vertical and right-to-left text. " Another significant change is a port to Python 3; that was a necessary change but it means that there are a number of plugins that have not yet been ported and thus won't work. The status of many plugins can be found on [2]this page .

All of you people should be ashamed of yourselves! MicroSoft is the reason
there are so many people in my IS department, and the reason half of us have
jobs. If Sun had won, we could probably get by with two people sleeping like
the Maytag man. But because of MS, there are eight people gainfully employed as
highly paid contracters, looking busy, feeding their kids. And the way it
looks, I stand to be employed and wealthy for a long, long time.
