Calibre Updates

Hi Guys

do you automatically update calibre when a new version is released? if so do you then have to go and ensure that any apprentice alf plug ins are updated?

sorry new to Calibre

TIA

No. Only if there is some feature that I particularly want or need - like support for a new Firmware.
Same for the plugins:-)

Yes I always update to new versions of calibre and PI's, but I do not use the DRM Tools PI

I always apply the new updates as they come, nearly always weekly. I have never had a problem as a result.

There has on the very odd occasion been a bug in a new release which has required the release of a new weekly build, but that is extremely rare.

Normally I update as soon as I see a new build.

Updating is not required unless you need a new feature or a specific bugfix from a new version.
But some of us just like exploring the new features.

Now, I make sure to update daily from the development sources.


You don't need to reinstall a plugin, but if a plugin gets updated you may want to update that -- bugfixes and new features for a plugin are separate from calibre.

The only time plugins needed to be updated because calibre was updated, was for calibre v2.0 and that is because calibre moved to a new graphical toolkit (Qt4 --> Qt5).
There was a big announcement and everything, so users had some warning.

Speaking of which, midweek update v2.44.1 because of a vulnerability in the bundled version of libpng.
Should be up in an hour or two.

It really isn't much, almost entirely updates to the in-progress content server rewrite. You aren't missing anything.

I pretty much update weekly, if only to get rid of the notification at the bottom of the screen.

I am very grateful to Kovid et al for all their hard work. I couldn't manage without Calibre. Which reminds me, I must go donate again
