My guess is that specifying upper bounds won't happen. The time required to validate calibre every time some library changes is very large. Such validation would spend Kovid's time checking for things of interest to a very small community, taking that time away from making and testing changes that are of interest to the majority of users.

I think that the best we can ask for is that Kovid provide specifications for what works for him, and for what is in the binary releases. Of course, if someone else is interested in testing newer releases of libraries, I am sure that Kovid would be happy to publish the results.
