WHAT'S NEW

Version 0.6.44:

New Features

• Experimental support for conversion of CHM files "Conversion and reading of metadata from CHM files is now supported. This feature is still experimental, with more testing needed. Building from source on linux now requires chmlib."
• Experimental support for fetching annotations from the Kindles, calibre can now fetch annotations from your kindle and put them into the comments field. To fetch annotations, click the arrow next to the 'send to device' button and select 'Fetch Annotations', with your Kindle connected."
• Support FreeBSD out of the box (except USB) News download scheduler: Don't try to download news when no active internet connection is present (linux/windows only)
• EPUB to WPUB conversion: Preserve font encryption
• calibre-server: Add --pidfile and --daemonize (unix only) options
• Plugins: When loading a plugin zip file extract to temp dir and add to sys.path, if the zip file contains binay code (pyd/dll/so/dylib), instead of just adding the zip file to the path, as python cannot load compiled code from a zip file

Bug Fixes

• Ebook-viewer: Handle non-ascii CSS files when doing font substitutions
• Conversion pipline: Ignore non-integral play orders when parsing NCX files When decoding NCX toc files, if no encoding is declared and detection has less that 100% confidence, assume UTF-8.
• PML chapter definitions missing from toc.ncx Unicode string for cover causes calibredb --output-format stanza to fail
• Search cover:False fails, cover:True succeeds
• Plugins: correctly use context
• MOBI Input: Don't lose cover if it is also referred to in main text
• RTF Output: Don't choke on PNG images
