CC prereleases V3.4.0e and V3.4.0f has been published and will available soon to people who are
members of the CC prerelease program.
V3.4.0f: rapid release to fix an important problem.
- [BUG FIX]Fix creation of a badly structured database on a new CC install. Upgrades were fine.
V3.4.0e: This release has new functionality and bug fixes.
This prerelease contains the following new features and changes over CC V3.4.0d:
- Add ability to choose the fields to display and their order in book details.
- Add ability to define two user-defined sorts, set up in Settings/Sorting. The user-defined sorts can be used as group auto-sorts.
- Two new sorts: Is Read, and Date added to CC.
- Add "display text" to grouped custom columns, as in "#genre/Genre". The text after the slash will be displayed wherever the group is used. Note that this value is ignored in book details because book details has the values set in calibre.
- In book details, make custom columns that are grouped clickable. Groups are made clickable only if the group is not hidden in the grouping drawer.
- [OTHER]Flash the book line in the book list when tapped so you know that CC heard the tap.
- [OTHER]Do not "linkify" items in book details if the underlying group is hidden in the grouping drawer.
- [BUG FIX]Change how sorts were stored to avoid having problems if the order of grouped columns is changed in settings. This is the reason existing auto-sorts are reset.
- [BUG FIX]Enable the "home" button on the action bar for the sub-preferences screens. This works only on Android Honeycomb and later.
- [BUG FIX]Make wireless disconnection more robust when CC and calibre get confused about which program is sending what.
NOTES:
- Because of a change in how sorts are represented internally, any group auto-sorts set up in V3.4.0d are lost.
- This release has many internal changes needed to support the new features. These changes could cause regressions in base functionality. Be sure to let us know if you run across something that no longer works correctly. In particular, let us know if the headings in book details don't correspond to the data.
- This release has a database schema upgrade, which is a fast upgrade. It does not have a database content upgrade. The upgrade creates the new Date Added to CC field and initializes it to the current Date Updated value for the book.
- This prerelease completes the planned changes for this cycle. I fully expect there to be further changes/prereleases as we receive comments and bug reports, but I do not expect to add any more significant features. Of course, I have said that before.
