CC prerelease 3.3.0f has been published and will available soon to people who are members of the CC prerelease program.

This prerelease contains the following enhancements and bug fixes over CC prerelease 3.3.0e:

Add a "Read" mark on the right side of the book list. It shows only if the option "Show Read information" is checked and if the Read info is not empty. This is an experiment. I might remove it for the production release.
Attempt to handle read-only folders such as those on external SD cards on devices running kitkat. In the folder selector, tell the user if s/he has chosen a read-only folder.
Add some spacing to the "Groups" item in the grouping drawer
Refuse to sync Read info if calibre is not at V1.28 or higher
[BUG FIX] Several changes to Read info syncing to prevent data loss when sending new books from calibre or scanning for new books
[BUG FIX] Always display Title over Author in the book list when sorting by dates
[BUG FIX] Honor the calibre date display formats when showing pubdate or calibre's date field in the book list.

If you have already installed CC 3.3.0e then this prerelease does not require a database upgrade.

As noted above, syncing Read info requires calibre 1.28 or better.

The changes to handing the read-only folders were rather invasive, touching basic code to write books and metadata. Although I have tested the changes, I would appreciate it if testers would put books onto their device using both the content server and wireless device to give further assurance. If someone is adventurous, then testing changing CC's book storage to a read-only folder would be nice. Especially nice would be if someone running kitkat and having an external SD card would try to put CC's storage on the external card. But all this aside, simply using CC will be very helpful.
