V4.3.4 beta channel release

[nqk]

My device language is English. I set Companion to Vietnamese. And it sometimes does that. This is the debug when I see it happen. https://app.box.com/shared/static/2x...ypujbua54q.txt

V4.3.4.2: (beta)

• Updated languages: Spanish, Vietnamese
• [BUG FIX]Use CC translated values instead of calibre values in the grouping drawer.
• [BUG FIX]Some changes that might help with language instability

@Translators: There is one new string in this release, the plural form of "Format" (formatPlural). In a previous version there was a new string, cloudSelectItemsHelpMessage.

I just did a wireless connection again on my Fire HD 8 and got this:

I deleted the folder from dropbox and chose it from the list. CC did tell me that the library is "corrupted or missing" and removed it from the list. But I had to sign in to drop box again to choose a different library.

Ooops. Somehow during debugging some strange things I deleted the code that did the actual check for GP services from the beta. The next one will have it. EDIT: I intend to release the next beta tommorow (Sunday 24/Jan).

I shouldn't code when taking heavy duty painkillers. I am off them now.

If you cancel the folder navigator then CC assumes something as gone very wrong. In this case select any existing library, even one already on the list, to avoid clearing cloud state.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. If that's the only mistake you made while on painkillers, that's still pretty good.

I thought there was only one choice after I chose the deleted library from the list and it told me it was missing, so there wasn't anything else I could do.

Edit: I just tried the same thing on my Tab S and it worked fine. I must have done something weird on the HD 8.

V4.3.4.3: (beta)

• [BUG FIX]Fix the non-GP license check by actually adding the right code.
• [BUG FIX]Change labels in grouping drawer/sort menu when switching between languages

The production build system was updated to use newer tools and to not add the non-GP tests to the amazon and demo releases.

I can now connect wirelessly, but I can't put the books on the sd card. ES file explorer can successfully write to the sd card, but it needed to request permission first. I think this is how lollipop is supposed to work, and the Fire OS 5 is supposed to work like lollipop. Is this something you can fix?

I don't know. There is discussion in this thread that indicates that it might be possible, or it might not.

I am sure that in order to attempt to support SD cards on a Fire, I would need to buy a Fire. That isn't something I really want to do, but I will talk with my son & daughter-in-law (my partners) about it. And even with a Fire it isn't clear how much success I would have because of the need to maintain compatibility with the CC installed base.

If you just want to try something to see if it would be easy to do you can send me an apk to try on my Fire. If you do decide to buy one, at least the Fire 7 is cheap.

I released this version to production today.

The only differences between the production version and the last beta are updated languages and a fix for a crash when starting CC for the first time (empty database).

This is almost certainly the last release that supports Gingerbread and Honeycomb.

[QUOTE=Purple Lady;3253234]When I choose what reader to use for azw3, it shows FBReader, but not with the name FBReader. Is that how it should work? This is on my Tab S 8.4.

Edit: it also doesn't open the correct book either. It opens the last one I opened instead. Ebookdroid does open it.

It doesn't do that on my Fire. However, it does on my Galaxy Nexus. Sigh... I only tested it on my Amazon device(s) and it works there because the mime type changes.

You are right -- it doesn't work. I have fixed it and will release the fix eventually.
