CC beta releases V3.6.3a-e and the candidate production release V3.6.4 have been published and will be available to people in the beta test program.

Changes between V3.6.3 and V3.6.4:

Active resizable home screen widgets that show the last 6 books opened in a reader app. Four different formats. Tapping a book in a widget asks CC to open the book in the appropriate reader app.
A menu item in book details to create a shortcut on the home screen. Tapping a shortcut asks CC to open that book in a reader.
Option to auto-connect to calibre as a wireless device at a given time of day. Used to auto-fetch news etc.
Option to choose tap and long-press behavior in book list/grid
Add separate options to show/not show the Read dropdown and the Date Read picker in Book Details.
Give option to disconnect when deleting a book in Book Details while connected
Ask for confirmation if in the content server the use of "download all" will download more than 10 books.
When using Mantano, open the book in its "special way" to avoid its "import" dialog
Add Format as a field in book details
Allow Series to be hierarchical
Updated languages: Italian
[BUG FIX]Fix "download all" possibly downloading a book more than once
[BUG FIX]Fix rare ANR when the content server disappears
New permissions: RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED & SET_ALARM for autoConnect, INSTALL_SHORTCUT

Changes V3.6.3a to V3.6.3b:

Make home screen widgets transparent.
Make thumbnails transparent square, displaying the "real" thumbnail inside.
Fix creating shortcuts on lollipop.
Option to disconnect when deleting a book in Book Details while connected.
Updated language: Italian

Changes V3.6.3b to V3.6.3c:

Use a bigger thumb in the widgets so that the larger sizes such as 3x3 look better.
Attempt to account for bigger icons on higher-res tablets when creating shortcuts
Separate the list of books sent to a reading app from the "last read" date. The new list is in settings, not in the database, so there won't be a database upgrade.
Handle "portrait - expand to fill" cover mode when creating thumbs.
Increase the number of thumbs from 5 to 6

Changes V3.6.3c to V3,6,3d:

Option to choose tap and long-press behavior in book list/grid
[BUG FIX]Handle fallback to automatic in time-of-day connections
[Bug Fix]Turn off the automatic connection when the option checkbox is unchecked

Changes V3.6.3d to V3.6.3e:

Add a dedicated log facility for auto-connect. You can see the log by tapping a line in Settings
Reset the auto-connect time when the device is booted. This required adding a permission.
Add a fourth widget that is similar to CC's list view.
Set larger default sizes for some widgets
[Bug Fix]Don't download the same book multiple times in the Content Server when using "download all" multiple times.

Changes from V3.6.3e to V3.6.4:

Scaled thumb and text for the booklist widget. This makes it more usable on tablets.
Add menu line to Book Details to remove a book from the widgets.
Change the grid widget to 4 across, not scrollable in either direction.
Change the booklist and cover list widgets to show 10 books. The stack widget remains at 6.
[Bug Fix]Don't crash when clearing the auto-connect log twice with no intervening log message written to the log.

CC offers 4 different active home screen widgets: a cover list, a stack (like a rolodex), a grid, and one like CC's book list. The cover list view is best if you want 1-wide widgets. The stack is best in 2x2 and if you usually tap the last read book. The grid is best on e-ink devices in 2x2 form.

The home screen shortcuts are not active. Once you create one it stays with that book until you delete it. Tapping the shortcut will as CC to open the book in the appropriate reader app.

The connect-at-time feature connects once per day at the specified time. The device can be sleeping, etc. If you are already connected then the auto-connect silently fails, as it does when calibre is not available. The Auto-connect log is available in settings. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, there is more information in CC's debug log and (if enabled) calibre's debug log.
