  • Remove the suid mount helper used on linux and bsd, as it proved impossible to make it secure.

    This means that if you are on BSD or an older linux distribution, without support for udisks, device detection will no longer work in calibre. You will have to either mount the devices by hand before starting calibre, or stick with version 0.8.24 (the vulnerability in the mount helper is a privilege escalation, which is relatively harmless on the vast majority of single user systems).
