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:-) |

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 ![]() |
