While the main reason for the release of 3.17.3 is to solve the problem with sickel causing a reboot when processing some PDF files, there are some other changes. So, from my notes:
  • PDFs no longer cause a sickel triggered restart. Apparently sickel has been neutered.
  • Fix to remember page correctly when reading a kepub and powering off.
  • Changes in how sync is done. This will be much faster but mainly by doing some things at other times. The noticeable on is that dictionaries are synced when you change the list rather than waiting for a sync.
  • Changes in the shop. I don't use it on the device so I don't really know what they are.

There are no changes that affect calibre. I will bump to the supported version number tonight for the next calibre release.
