Yes.

If you are particularly brave and want to help with pre-beta testing, you can pull from lp:~cbhaley/calibre/charles.custcol. This branch contains code that Kovid will review and, if appropriate, move into the calibre/custom-cols branch. Most of the changes since release 6.92 are in device management and device metadata caching.

It is worth noting that device connection is now *much* faster, with observed performance improvement factors ranging from 8 to more than 20. This improvement is seen on the second and subsequent connections after installation of the beta. The first connection will be around the same speed as today, except for Sonys where it will be substantially slower.

This improvement will probably be in the next version, 6.93.
