The much anticipated calibre 0.6 betas are now available from http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/downloads/betas/

For some of the new features see: http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/new_in_6

Note that these betas really are betas, they have received only the most minimal of testing, especially on non-linux platforms. So before downloading them, back up your existing calibre library folder. You have been warned. Also you can't use the same library folder with both 0.5 and 0.6 as 0.6 makes some changes to the database schema that are not backwards compatible.

The MOBI output code in calibre has been modified to support indexing, so the beta may generate MOBI files that some devices refuse to open. If so, I'd like to know about it.

This release introduced over 300 new translatable strings, so the translations are not up to date as yet.

Once again a big thank you to all the people that have contributed to calibre, especially user_none, who is responsible for a fair fraction of that new features list and llasram, who wrote the framework that forms the core of the new conversion sub system in calibre.

As always, if you have comments, I'd love to hear them. For bug reports please open tickets at http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/newticket

Enjoy!
