Just a heads up, if you have written a metadata source plugin, the signature for the get_book_url method has changed. It now needs to return (identifier_type, identifier_val, URL) instead of just URL.

So for example the amazon plugin now does

Code:

    def get_book_url(self, identifiers):
        asin = identifiers.get('amazon', None)
        if asin is None:
            asin = identifiers.get('asin', None)
        if asin:
            return ('amazon', asin, 'http://amzn.com/%s'%asin)
