CC production release 3.4.1 has been published and will be available soon. This release contains the following new features and changes over CC V3.3.6:
- In book details: choose which fields to display and their order
- Two new sorts: Is Read, and Date added to CC.
- Define an "auto-sort" used to sort a group when that group is selected in the grouping drawer.
- Backup and restore CC settings
- Lock screen orientation in portrait or landscape.
- Add grouped-on custom columns to the sort menu.
- Add grouped-on custom columns as an auto-sort option.
- Choose which sorts are on shown on the menu
- Choose which group categories show in the grouping drawer.
- Make grouped custom columns clickable in book details. A custom column is made clickable only if it is displayed in the grouping drawer.
- Two user-defined three-level sorts, set up in Settings/Sorting.
- 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.
- Show the value being sorted by in the book list. Previously it showed a few dates.
- Don't show first letters in the grouping drawer if only one letter would be shown.
- Add a "splash" activity that is displayed whenever CC must do a database upgrade because of a version change. This avoids "Application Not Responding" errors on large libraries.
- Show/hide the "[autosort by ...]" information in the grouping drawer.
- Show/hide the counts on the item lines in the grouping drawer.
- Show/hide the first letter check box in the grouping drawer.
- Optionally show page up/down buttons on the books display. Helps on e-ink devices.
- Optionally set the maximum length of authors displayed in the book list.
- Set the size of downloaded covers. Note that changing this option will cause metadata for all books to be downloaded on the next wireless connection.
- New cover size for book details: extra-large.
- Optionally make read information syncing one way, only from calibre to CC.
- Use singular and plural forms of labels in book details
- Improve application logging in several situations
- Improvements in connection help
