Changes:

Support hardware page up/down buttons on devices. Tested on Onyx Afterglow 2, but should work on (at least) all Onyx e-ink readers and the Boyue T62.
Add option to permit connecting as a wireless device over 3G. Use this option if you have set up your network to expose calibre's wireless device driver to the internet
Add language Portuguese (Brasil)
Update languages German, Japanese, Russian
[BUG FIX]Fix incorrectly clearing the date read field when setting the calibre sync column
[BUG FIX]Fix regression causing display of some custom column numbers to fail
[BUG FIX]Fix rare crash in content server connections
[BUG FIX]Improvements in logging

This release is going through beta to be sure that the hardware buttons work on other devices, and to be sure that supporting the hardware paging buttons didn't break anything if the buttons are not present.

FWIW: I bought an Afterglow 2. It works really well with CC and Moon+. I found that for me the best CC settings are:

Move all items from the action bar to the menu. Eliminates some text color problems.
Turn off the group drawer open/close animated line/buttons.
Turn off all the scrollers.
Don't use the Onyx launcher. I am using Nova. The Onyx launcher has some problems integrating with CC. It doesn't "see" books until the device is rebooted.
Don't use the paging buttons. The hardware buttons work better, and work in all the views including the grouping drawer and settings.
