Version 2.0.10 has been posted. Notable changes:

Metadata/rawml extraction is now done internally (thanks to KindleUnpack and the MobileRead wiki) so that (hopefully) KindleUnpack can be completely removed from future releases. There is a setting that you can enable if you want to use KindleUnpack when something goes wrong with the internal one. Let us know if you have trouble unpacking anything so we can improve it!
A setting for "download aliases" has been added (off by default). If checked, it will attempt to download aliases from a website if any exist for the book (will only overwrite if the "overwrite aliases" setting is checked). At the moment there aren't many available, but eventually I hope to have a decent selection. I started working on a site to accompany the feature, but my web dev skills are limited.
Added some switches that can be added to aliases. By using one of these values as the first (or only) alias, you can modify how the character is treated:
- /d - Delete this term entirely. Good for when Shelfari has a term that you don't want added to the X-Ray, but don't want to remove it from Shelfari.
- /n - Keep the term, but do not search for excerpts. Good for terms like 'Lady' in the Song of Ice and Fire books, where Lady is a direwolf's name but is used frequently throughout the book, giving incorrect excerpts.
- /c - Characters are usually case-insensitive, this will make it sensitive. Good for terms that might show up and falsely match in other contexts. e.g. a character named Summer would incorrectly match on 'summer'.
- Example: Khal Drogo|/i,Drogo
If you forgot to change the book's content type from PDOC to EBOK, this will now happen automatically when metadata is extracted.
Misc tweaks and fixes

As always, let us know if you have any issues!
