If you don't have time to spare then you shouldn't grab every update within hours of its release. Calibre is a work in progress,
read the change log there are New features and bug fixes every release.
Right off the bat the change log says,
Quote:
Release: 0.7.36 [01 Jan, 2010]
New Features
- Tag browser: Add subcategories and search When a category has many items, it will be automatically split up. Also add a search to quickly find an item in the Tag Browser. The sub categories can be controlled via preferences->Tweaks. Also add a button to collapse all categories
|
This lets anyone know that you may have to use the tweaks section after this release to adjust this area.

If a error in sort didn't occur (which Chaley has said will be corrected in the next release) I don't see where any tweaks would be needed for the common user. Having lists collapse to a single alphabet letter is intuitive and very common.

New Mode? Collapsing a list to a single alphabet letter isn't exactly new. When a better way to present information to the average user is developed then calibre will implement it. If this wasn't the case we would all still be using command line tools or the GUI from 0.4 or 0.5.
If you continue to upgrade willy-nilly without reviewing the change log then you're really giving up the right to be miffed in public. After all, the decision to upgrade in the face of possible tweaks was up to you.
