Calibre Companion: changes to calibre's wireless device driver

chaley · 11-12-2013, 08:05 AM

The next release of calibre will contain a trimmed-down wireless device driver that no longer contains old low-performance networking code. These changes should have no effect on any version of CC released since the end of 2012. The next release of CC will also have this code removed. The reason for these changes: to simplify the wireless device driver and CC in order to increase performance and to reduce maintenance difficulties.

If you are a CC (wireless device) user and run from source, could you update the calibre source and try connecting CC? The changes work for me with the current and next (unreleased) versions of CC, but it would be nice to have additional confirmation.

Will you be updating the Calibre Companion in the Amazon app store, it still at 3.1.0? Thanks

Yes, once I release the next CC with the simplified networking.

Sorry about the delays. Because of how the amazon store works and other security concerns, I can't make the releases. I have to bother someone else to do it, and I forget a lot.

Actually, the amazon store is supposed to be at 3.2.0, as of early October. I understand that the text on the site says 3.1.0, but what version are you really running (in the app, menu, about)?
