[Alexander Turcic]

A new update of our favorite e-book management software calibre has been released.

This release contains a new improved database backend that is now ready for testing. You can read more about it here.

V0.9.41 also includes the following new features and changes:

New Features

• Add a button to clear the current virtual library easily
• Driver for Surftab Ventos
• Ebook-viewer: Allow re-ordering bookmarks in the bookmarks manager by drag and drop.

Bug Fixes

• DOCX Input: Fix conversion breaking for files that use heading style paragraphs to insert line rules
• Content server: Fix last search query not being fully sanitized in results page
• Book polishing: Fix page margins being removed if an unused font was found during subsetting of embedded fonts.
• PDF Output: Do not error out when the input document uses a font that cannot be subset, such as the Symbol font. Instead print a warning and embed the full font.
• Conversion: Fix a regression in the last release that broke conversion of a few files with comments just before a chapter start.
