Congratulations! You all, and most of all of course Kovid have done an amazing job in building calibre and making it even better with each release! I can't imagine managing and reading my ebooks without calibre and I hope it stays around as long as there are ebooks to read and catalogue

.

The greatest strength of calibre (other than the great community of course) is how many useful features, big and small, it has. Of the features introduced between 0.9 and 1.0, I especially love the Polish Books and Edit TOC features, both of which I use all the time. (The coloured rows are also very handy, not sure if they have been around longer though.) Looking forward to the new cover grid and faster database code

.

I also love the weekly stable updates, I wish every open source project did that! Though I have to admit I might wait till next week before I update this time, just in case you guys missed a vital bug in the new database backend

. I know, it's very unlikely after the long test period, but some obscure bugs tend to only be found once a new release is deployed beyond the beta testers. So everyone updating now: Make sure you have backed up your library
