Simple req: Pl put change dates on manual

bauerhjb · 04-29-2016, 02:00 AM

I have limited internet access at times and therefore can not depend on using the online Help features of Calibre. I try to download on a regular basis updated versions of the calibre manual along with the updated versions of the program, but I suddenly realized I have no idea if the manual has been updated to keep pace with the version changes.

If there is a place that indicates "last updated" please just direct me to it. (I really did look for it....) (It would also be useful if the on-line version showed the last change date since they might not be the same? ) Otherwise I guess this is a "wish" request. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

The manual is always updated alongwith calibre releases -- it is part of the calibre release process.

Thank you, sorry to have bothered you. Didn't see this info elsewhere so finally thought to ask. Makes my life simpler. Appreciate calibre and all it can do. Thanks for it too.

You can tell if the manual has been edited by looking at the history of the "manual" folder in the source code. See the GitHub project page for calibre.

Of course, the latest version will always be available each week, but this lets you know if it is a *new* version.
