I don't have an explanation for this. The connection code didn't change, but that doesn't mean much. Send me a debug log next time it fails.

2) My Calibre library is stored in a folder that syncs to dropbox and is replicated on two computers. I recently changed the cover size on my CC library and the next time I connected, it transferred all of the covers. When I got home, and synced again, it transferred them all again. I don't know if the is a 5.0 issue, but its there now.
This problem has been there for a long time.

It happens because the metadata cache is per machine. Updating the covers on the device does not update the last_modified date in the metadata, so the metadata from the device is not sent up to calibre when you connect to the second machine (home in your case). The cache doesn't know that the covers have already been sent, so it sends them again and updates the cache.

Perhaps putting the cache into dropbox would fix it. Doing that would require you adding some hard links (junctions) from appdata/Local/calibre-cache to some folder in Dropbox. And note that other stuff is cached, so I can't guarantee that there won't be "consequences".

3) I have a third issue that I haven't determined the cause of yet, but occasionally, I will go back to the no grouping state, and it will not reset the sort back to the proper one. I'll keep playing with this and report it when I figure out when it happens.
Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if this can happen if you tap on items in book details. That implicitly resets the grouping to "something", and it might not do the right thing with sorting.
