CC beta releases 3.4.4j, k, and l have been published and will be available to people in the beta test program.

V3.4.4l is being released to beta because it contains changes that better support selecting book folders on rooted Android 4.4+ devices or devices with multiple SD cards. I would like some assurance that I didn't break anything.

Changes since 3.4.4i (for alpha testers. See this thread for details about 3.4.4i):

V3.4.4l

Add "Format" as a possibility in book list extra information
Minor text changes to support translation
Support more than one removable SD card on Android 4.4+
Add an "Advanced option" (at the bottom of the settings) to show the general navigate-to-folder dialog on Android 4.4+ when choosing CC's folders
Updated Spanish
Add dialog showing translation credits
[BUG FIX]Don't crash if the device doesn't have a working web browser

V3.4.4k

Add ability to change CC's interface language
[BUG FIX]Fix regression removing the page up/down buttons
[BUG FIX]Fix very rare crash when returning to book details after using another app

V3.4.4j

Support crowd-source translations
Make the backup/restore file dialogs visually more like the rest of CC
Change the password dialog to (I hope) better support e-ink devices

The following is a summary of changes since 3.4.4, similar to what will be published when 3.5.1 is released.

Single-level hierarchical columns. See the new setting in the grouping section
Optionally sync book files: calibre sends book formats to CC if the copy in calibre is newer than in CC
Optionally temp-mark a book in calibre if its is-read information was updated by info in CC
Enable the "fast scroller" on the booklist, grouping pane, and the book grid. This is a rectangle that appears when you scroll the list, which you can grab and move to scroll much more quickly.
Add options to control the scroller: where it appears, which side it is on, and whether it shows permanently.
Add option to fall back to automatic connect if connection to the specified IP address fails
Per-group first letter control in the grouping drawer
Use value-sensitive ranges for numbers in the grouping drawer when doing first-letter grouping
Add an option to remove <<>> lines in the grouping drawer
Allow reordering groups in the grouping drawer
Make the top-level group name not scroll when the info under it is scrolled
Option to specify an auto-sort for the "Groups" line (not grouping)
Support picking custom fields to group from a list. Requires calibre 2.1 or newer
Add Languages as a groupable item. See "Make groups for custom columns" to enable this feature.
Add formats as a groupable item. See "Make groups for custom columns" to enable this feature.
Allow reordering the sorts shown in the menu
Support picking the is-read columns (yes/no and date) from a list. Requires calibre 2.1 or newer
Display file size in book details
Tapping cover in book details expands the cover to full size. Tapping again reduces it to the size set in settings.
Make "Disconnect" optionally appear on the action bar when "Connect" is on the menu
Performance improvement in grouping drawer
Support the Samsung version of Kindle for Android
Support both standalone content server instances and a calibre instance running the content server on the same local network.
Support both standalone content server instances and a calibre instance running the content server on the same computer. Requires calibre V2.0 or newer.
Use a "star" character for rating types in the book list instead of a number
In book details, respect the calibre format for custom number columns if there is one, otherwise use commas.
Ability to change CC's user interface language
Support for crowd-sourced translations
Some changes that might help with dialog boxes on e-ink devices
Support more than one removable SD card on Android 4.4+
Add an "Advanced option" (at the bottom of the settings) to show the general navigate-to-folder dialog on Android 4.4+ when choosing CC's folders
Support for FBReader's pdf and djvu plugins
[BUG FIX]Fix not being able to long-press on the first line of a group
[BUG FIX]Prevent duplicated Date and Pubdate entries in various selection dialog boxes
[BUG FIX]Fix Groups and the category line not using the specified font size
[BUG FIX]Ensure that new books will get covers sent on next connect if the current connection is interrupted
[BUG FIX]Ensure that restore settings does all necessary setting migration
[BUG FIX]Make the progress spinner stop if connect to wireless device is cancelled
[BUG FIX]Don't try to launch a reader app on an empty cell in the book grid
