Hi tkeo, (FYI: other co-developers and testers)

Thanks for that bug fix in decoding package tags in mobi_k8resc.py

I have tried to incorporate your mobi_opf.py changes into mine. We were pretty close on many things. I see you want to break out epub3 metadata from the general case and we can do that later, but right now I went with an integrated one we already had.

So attached is KindleUnpack_v072z_test.zip which we can start heavy testing on to make sure nothing is broken for PrintReplica and older Mobis as well as epub2 and epub3.

For epub3 I have added in the automatic generation of dcterms:modifed to meet the minimum epub3 metadata spec.

So hopefully, all that remains is some bug hunting and corner cases to resolve and we can make this a public release!

After that, if you want you can start on your epub3 specific metatdata changes and hopefully try to figure out a way to fix the refines info and integrate the RESC extra metadata into the final product without needing to comment it out.

I have run out of free time recently so hopefully you can take the lead on all of that after we get any bugs ironed out and a stable v073 release made and available to all.

Thanks for all of your hard work on this!


Edit: I just finished studying the epub 3 metadata and it disallows all opf: prefixes like file-as, role and schemes. Therefore the dc:identifier is different under epub3 for urn:uuid, isbn, etc.

So you were right and we do need an epub 3 specific metadata routine for even the basics just to handle the refines of file-as and role and identifiers properly even etc for the most basic EXTH values and not just for fixed-layout and related things.

I will play around with this a bit too.

Take care,

KevinH

I have not completed yet and there are bugs.
