This beta will be the last one before 0.7 with new features:
The major new features are:
- iPad support for windows and osx. Just plugin in your iPad and calibre should show a list of books on the device and allow you to send/delete books. See GRiker's post above for details
- Rewritten OPDS catalog generation. Which means that if you use Stanza/WordPlayer/Aldilko you can now browse your calibre library with all the categories available in the Tag Browser, including custom columns and saved searches. Performance has also been significantly improved, hopefully those of you that experienced timeouts won't any longer. Also if a category has a lot of entries (it is split up by alphabet for easier navigation).
- A new calibre logo/icon, thanks to a calibre user. See here
This release had a lot of internal refactoring to increase robustness of the custom column code. In particular as chaley warned above if you have user defined categories they will have to be recreated. Note that this is categories,
not columns. Categories are the headings that show up in the Tag Browser. Columns are, well, columns
As before, the betas are available from:

Enjoy.
A note for those of you running the code by checking it out from the launchpad custom-cols branch. That branch has been retired, it is now merged into trunk. You can get the latest beta source code by doing:
