What’s new in version 6.2.1

Updated on Jul 30 2022

New features:

Full text search: Ignore soft hyphens when extracting searchable text from books. Note that you will have to re-index your library to take advantage of this.
Content server: Have the Read button open PDF files in the browsers builtin PDF viewer rather than the calibre viewer since the calibre viewer is not well suited to PDF
Kobo driver: Add support for new firmware
Create icon theme dialog: Add a checkbox to install the newly created theme into calibre
Allow re-indexing a book for FTS by right clicking the Book details panel

Bug fixes:

Content server: Workaround for Chrome bug causing multiple sign in prompts when connecting to the server after restarting Chrome
Fix a regression in 6.0 that broke rendering of first page of EPUB as cover when the EPUB has no actual cover
Content server: Fix a regression in 6.0 that caused incorrect rendering of comments metadata in the book details panel in dark mode
FB2 Input: Fix a regression in 6.0 that broke conversion of FB2 on macOS
Metadata download from Google: Switch to making the queries via a Google web search as this finds some books that searching via the API does not
Book details panel: Fix clicking on items from an enumerated column containing ampersands not searching correctly
Image editor: Do not allow initial mouse drag to create selection rect outside the image bounds
E-book viewer: Fix clicking on ToC entries moving keyboard focus to the ToC search box when the ToC window is floating
Fix a regression in 6.0 that caused the default cover to be rendered small in some contexts
Various bug fixes related to the new dark/light icon theme switching. Make the icons more consistent even when using the system theme. Use calibre specific file type icons when using the non native file dialogs. Allow creating dark/light override icons manually in the configuration folder.
Disable the color theme setting when using system style
When using a fixed color palette and the system colors are of different type enforce the color palette
Ignore Qt generated application palette changes when using a fixed palette
In the icon theme chooser dialog show light and dark themes only in the light and dark tabs
Welcome wizard: Fix device names not being translated correctly leading to the same name being repeated for some devices
Read aloud: Fix spurious error message on Linux about voices not being installed
Linux binaries: Bundle brotli and graphite2 as well as Qt links against them
FTS dialog: When keyboard navigation changes the current item ensure it stays visible
Binary builds: Fix Qt TLS backends not included
Fix Qt WebEngine creating cache folders outside of the calibre cache directory
Version 6.2.1 fixes a regression in 6.2.0 that caused the Read button in the Content server to only work for PDF books

5.0

Version: 5.27.0

v5.27.0 adds access to news and articles from 'The Week' by Kovid Goyal, Kovid being the developer of calibre! There is no 'About' information regarding the magazine or its website. My guess is that Kovid is both publisher and editor. It's a weekly news magazine in English from an India perspective, well worth a read or subscription for those interested. Thank you Kovid!

Version: 5.21.0

It is the best library management for ebooks - and almost the only usable one on any desktop. It could be made better but we may/must help a bit there with donations. The one thing I have not understood yet (as far as design decisions go) is why it does not support iCloud as a place for libraries (there are some ways to do it but they are not straightforward.

A useful app, but the interface is terribly ugly and non-Mac-ish. It's desperately in need of a facelift.

Brilliant stuff. Does all sorts of useful things - much more than look after your library, or libraries. And free!

Version: 4.15.0

Calibre has been a great tool when I wrote a book, years ago, to convert it for online stores. Only issue was that Amazon refused Calibre's mobi format and I had to make some corrections using Sigil (the other indispensable tool in this category!) The interface could be clearer and more Mac like, but it has far more functions than I needed, so I guess, it's not easy to stuff them in. ;-) The choice to make it 10.14 is surprisingly more radical than what even Apple usually does, but indeed you can still use v3.48, available on their website.

Absolutely superb free library program so easy to use... I have been using it for several years and have more than 900 books. It has the facility to translate books into different formats if needed. It has become essential for me that I truly love.

Version: 4.12

the "problem", neartheredrocks, is that you don't get bug fixes and new features ... moving over to 64-bit was fine - basing it on 10.14 and higher's Finder was not - there are over half of the Mac population that is 10.13 but not higher-compatible - this could have been easily avoided, and was a bad decision

4.6.0

Version: 4.6.0

For those who need something like this Calibre is one of the most amazing free applications available for macOS. The developer has my deepest gratitude. Yes, it's not very pretty - but I could not care less about that in the light of all its features and capabilities. And those who complain that the latest version of Calibre (from 2019) does not work anymore with an older version of macOS (from 2017) have actually no real reason to complain as an older version of Calibre (3.48) that works perfectly fine with older macOS versions is still available for download on the developer's website. It's free - please don't forget that!
