Hot on the heels of the 1.0 milestone release, calibre, our most popular e-book library software, is ready for another incremental update. Version 1.1 tidies up a whole bunch of stuff, including:

New Features

Rewrite the HTML metadata parser to make it faster and more robust
Book list: When sorting on a currently unsorted column, use the last applied sort for that column, instead of always sorting in ascending order
PocketBook driver: Scan for books files in the entire device not just in the 'books' folder

Bug Fixes

Fix a regression in 1.0 that could cause the dates in custom date-type columns to change in some timezones when using the edit metadata dialog to make unrelated changes
When replacing formats in a book with a very long title+authors on windows, calibre could leave behind the old format file, because the filename shortening algorithm has changed. Handle that case
Fix content server giving an error if you return to the top level page after using the virtual libraries
Fix calibredb not updating the running calibre instance properly in 1.0
Fix a regression in 1.0 that broke splitting of multiple valued field like tags into many items during a rename
Fix a regression in 1.0 that caused an error when trying to set values for tags with the same item repeated, with different case
Fix a regression that broke downloading news when output format is set to PDF
Creating a catalog with an already existing catalog in the library would cause a temporary duplicate entry in the book list. Also fix the author sort for catalogs generated in the AZW3 format not being correct
EPUB metadata: When changing the title in an EPUB 2.0 file that has multiple titles, remove the extra titles
Fix a regression in 1.0 that caused Search and Replace in the bulk metadata edit dialog to be much slower than before
Fix a regression in 1.0 that caused incorrect sorting and searching on some composite columns (columns built from other columns)
Fix a regression in 1.0 that prevented the moving of libraries inside calibre
Virtual Library tabs: If the user activates a hidden tab via the Virtual Library button, change the name of the All Books tab to reflect the hidden virtual library
Ignore text records in the database that are damaged, instead of erroring out. Lets the rest of the data be used
Fix regression that broke calibredb catalog when sorting on the id field
HTML Input: Handle malformed OPF files when converting
Ensure that the Formats custom column (if present) is updated when a new format is created as a result of a conversion
Fix a bug in 1.0 that broke the Check Library function on computers with non-English locales
Content server: Fix blank username causing error on startup
Fix sorting of book list by multi-valued fields like tags not correct in the new backend
