"Die GPL kommentiert und erklärt" und das "Linux Praxishandbuch"
Der O'Reilly-Verlag bietet ab sofort vier neue OpenBooks zum kostenlosen Download an. Dazu zählen die Titel "Die GPL kommentiert und erklärt" und "Linux Firewalls". Ein weiteres Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Spam- und Virenbekämpfung mit Open Source, während es sich beim vierten Buch um das "Linux Praxishandbuch" handelt.
Zu den bereits vorhandenen OpenBooks von O'Reilly sind nun vier neue hinzugekommen, die unter verschiedenen Lizenzbestimmungen veröffentlicht wurden. Die Bücher sind online kostenlos als PDF-Dateien verfügbar, wobei der Verlag sie in einzelne Kapitel aufgeteilt hat. Die nun veröffentlichten Bücher stehen alle in aktuellen Auflagen von 2005 oder 2006 bereit.
Das Buch "Mit Open Source-Tools Spam & Viren bekämpfen" beschäftigt sich mit Software wie SpamAssasin und anderen Spam-Abwehrtechniken wie DNS-basierten Blackhole-Listen. Virenscanner wie ClamAV kommen ebenso zur Sprache, wie die Filterung im Client. Die Autoren befassen sich auch mit den juristischen Aspekten von Spam und Viren. Das Buch ist für den privaten Gebrauch kostenlos verfügbar.
Die zweite Auflage von "Linux-Firewalls - Ein praktischer Einstieg" beschäftigt sich mit verschiedenen Firewall-Lösungen und präsentiert so unter anderem eine Firewall auf einer Diskette. Die Paketfilter IPChains und IPTables kommen beide zur Sprache und auch demilitarisierte Zonen und Proxys sind Themen des Buches, das unter den Lizenzbestimmungen der GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) erschienen ist.
Den Grundlagen des Linux-Systems widmet sich das "Linux Praxishandbuch", das sowohl die Installation als auch die Bedienung anspricht. Eigene Kapitel widmen sich Werkzeugen zur System- und Software-Verwaltung. Doch auch die Desktop-Oberflächen KDE und GNOME sowie der Kernel werden behandelt. Für den privaten Gebrauch ist das Buch ebenfalls kostenlos.
Der Titel "Die GPL kommentiert und erklärt" beschäftigt sich mit den Fragen, was die GPL ist und wie sie sich von anderen Open-Source-Lizenzen unterscheidet. Wann deutsches Recht maßgeblich für die Beurteilung der GPL ist, wird ebenfalls beantwortet. Der zweite Teil des Buches besteht aus einer ausführlichen Kommentierung der einzelnen Abschnitte. Das Buch ist unter einer Creative-Commons-Lizenz verfügbar.
Alle vier Bücher stehen ab sofort unter oreilly.de bereit.

Neue Version von "Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace" entstand online
Im Jahr 1999 hat Lawrence Lessig die erste Version seines Buches "Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace" veröffentlicht. Im März 2005 begann die Arbeit an einer neuen Version: Code v2. Teile des neuen Buches wurden in einem offenen Prozess über Wiki geschrieben. Nun ist Code v2 fertig und kann gekauft, aber auch unter einer Creative-Commons-Lizenz kostenlos heruntergeladen werden.
Das bei Basic Books erschienene Buch "Code v2" ist die aktualisierte Version des angesichts der rasanten Entwicklung fast altertümlich anmutenden "Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace". In der ursprünglichen Ausgabe plädiert Lawrence Lessig für eine Sicherung der demokratischen Freiheit im Cyberspace, dessen Gestaltung nicht allein der Wirtschaft überlassen werden dürfe.
Das gut 350 Seiten umfassende Buch ist hier zu Lande in englischer Sprache für knapp 17,- Euro zu haben. Die Gelder, die Lessig aus den Verkäufen zufließen, sollen direkt an die von Lessig gegründete Initiative Creative Commons gehen. Zunächst müssen allerdings Kosten von rund 185.000 US-Dollar gedeckt werden.
Da das Buch unter der Lizenz "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5" entwickelt wurde, kann es unter codev2.cc auch kostenlos heruntergeladen werden. Die Lizenz erlaubt es, das Werk zu kopieren, zu verteilen, anzuzeigen und aufzuführen sowie abgeleitete Arbeiten zu erstellen. Auch eine kommerzielle Nutzung ist erlaubt, in jedem Fall müssen aber die Namen der Autoren genannt (Attribution) und Abwandlungen des Werkes wieder unter der gleichen Lizenz veröffentlicht werden (Share Alike). Um die Veränderung des Buchs leicht zu machen, soll es in Kürze soll in einem neuen Wiki erscheinen.

Nach 15 Monaten hat das SelfHTML-Projekt erstmals wieder eine neue Version seines Webdesign-Handbuchs veröffentlicht. So berücksichtigt SelfHTML 8.1.2 die Kompatibilität der inzwischen neu erschienenen Browser Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 1.5 und 2.0, Opera 9.0 und 9.1, Safari 1.0 und 2.0 (bisher war nur Safari 1.2 berücksichtigt) zu den beschriebenen Webstandards. SelfHTML hat jetzt auch CSS 2.1 in die Dokumentation mit aufgenommen, dessen W3C-Spezifikation formal noch nicht abgeschlossen ist, aber längst als stabil gilt. Weitere Neuerungen betreffen die im Browser installierbare CSS-Sidebar, das Kapitel über Perls CGI-Modul und die Kontaktmöglichkeiten. Mit der neuen Version nehmen die SelfHTML-Macher die Betreiber von Mirrors an eine kurze Leine, da diese das Projekt oft zur Eigenwerbung missbraucht haben sollen.
Um keine so langen Pausen zwischen den Aktualisierungen mehr aufkommen zu lassen, wollen sich die Verantwortlichen "frühzeitig an die Öffentlichkeit" wenden, doch "was die aktive Mitarbeit an der Dokumentation betrifft, so sind die Fragen, auf die das SelfHTML-Wiki eine Antwort sein sollte noch nicht geklärt". Der Versuch, das Projekt zum Wiki umzustellen, war im ersten Anlauf gescheitert. Nicht zuletzt wegen der Spannungen, die sich daraus ergeben hatten, verließ vor einem Monat der SelfHTML-Gründer Stefan Münz das Projekt.

Kostenlos, aber kopierschützt
Das Verlagshaus HarperCollins will einen Monat lang einige Bestseller auf seiner Website zum Lesen bereit stellen. Die Verlagsleitung hofft auf diese Weise, Leser zum Bücherkauf zu animieren. Einer der Schriftsteller des Verlages hat so seine Verkäufe schon ankurbeln können.
Wenn man selbst großzügig etwas abgibt, dann bekommt man auch etwas zurück, sagte kürzlich der brasilianische Schriftsteller Paulo Coelho auf einer Konferenz. Für ihn ging das Kalkül auf: Er bot seinen Roman "Der Alchimist" in russischer Sprache kostenlos über das Internet an und verzehnfachte so innerhalb eines Jahres seine Buchverkäufe in Russland.
Fast scheint es, jemand aus Chefetage des Verlages HarperCollins habe im Publikum gesessen. Denn gerade mal drei Wochen später bietet das Verlagshaus einige der Bestseller aus seinem Programm kostenlos über die Verlags-Website an. Auf diese Weise hoffen die Verantwortlichen die Verkäufe der Bücher anzukurbeln. Das sei, erklärte HarperCollins-Chefin Jane Friedman der New York Times, als entferne man im Buchladen die Plastikfolie und blättere in dem Buch. "Man verkauft am besten, wenn man es den Kunden ermöglicht, ein wenig darin zu lesen."
Während der Aktion, die auf einen Monat beschränkt ist, können Surfer die Bücher online lesen, aber nicht speichern oder ausdrucken. Seit mehr als einem Jahr bietet HarperCollins Lesern schon die Möglichkeit, in einzelnen Büchern online zu blättern. Allerdings stehen hier nur einige Seiten zur Verfügung.
Friedman ist jedoch überzeugt, dass mehr freier Inhalt einen noch größeren Kaufanreiz darstellt. Der Fall des Kinderbuches "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" (in Deutschland: "Gregs Tagebuch. Von Idioten umzingelt!") von Jeff Kinney scheint das zu belegen: Obwohl das Buch vor einigen Jahren kostenlos im Internet abgerufen werden konnte, stand es fast ein Jahr lang auf der Bestsellerliste der New York Times für Kinderbücher.
HarperCollins will unter anderem ein Buch des bekannten Fernsehkochs Robert Irvine und eines über den aktuellen Präsidentschaftswahlkampf online stellen. Fantasy-Autor Neil Gaiman überlässt seinen Fans die Entscheidung, welches seiner Bücher sie gern kostenlos im Internet lesen wollen.
Schließlich wird auch - wen wundert's? - "Die Hexe von Portobello", der aktuelle Roman des Brasilianers Paulo Coelho, auf der HarperCollins-Site abrufbar sein. Coehlo weiß ja um den Erfolg kostenlos abgegebener Inhalte.

Seit kurzem ist das neueste Buch "Remix" vom Creative Commons-Vordenker Lawrence Lessig als freier pdf-Download erhältlich.
Das neueste Werk von Lawrence Lessig ist hochaktuell und kann nahtlos in der aktuellen Debatte um Three-Strikes, Filesharing und dem Urheberrecht ansetzen. Kurz zusammengefasst beschreibt der Autor die Entwicklung unserer Kultur, die im letzten Jahrhundert "Read-Only (nur Lesen)" gewesen ist und seit einigen Jahren zur "Read-Write (Lesen und Schreiben)"-Kultur wurde. Das gängige und noch immer in dieser Form angewendete Urheberrecht kommt aus dem "Read-Only" Zeitalter. In einer ausführlichen Analyse mit vielen Beispielen schildert er das Geschäftsmodell, wie auch Gesellschaftsmodell, einer "hybriden Ökonomie", die sowohl auf die Gemeinschaft setzt, die frei Leistungen und Werke erstellt und tauscht, während es im selben System Elemente gibt, die an der Geld-Ökonomie teilnehmen.
(http://www.gulli.com/img/2009/lawrence-lessig-remix.jpg)
Für viele überraschend scheint Lessigs Erkenntnis zu sein, dass beide auch wunderbar nebeneinander existieren können. "Die "Copyright-Kriege" haben dazu geführt, dass viele denken, es geht um alles oder nichts. Entweder wird "Hollywood" oder "das Netz" gewinnen. Entweder werden wir etwas Wichtiges aus der Vergangenheit verlieren, oder aber vorschnell etwas Wertvolles töten, was wir in Zukunft haben könnten. Wer immer gewinnen mag, der andere muss verlieren. (...) Dabei könnte es beides sein. Und viel interessanter (vor allem für die, die die ökonomische Seite betrachten), könnte die Entwicklung zu einer neuen Form von Unternehmen führen, die in der Vergangenheit sehr selten gewesen ist, die aber ein hohes ökonomisches Potenzial beherbergen: Ich nenne es den "Hybriden". Lessig nennt als Beispiele sowohl freie Software, zum Beispiel Red Hat und Ubuntu, die auch ökonomisch erfolgreich sind, aber auch Flickr, Craigslist und einige kleinere Beispiele, die dieser neuen Regel folgen.
Kernstück ist immer wieder, dass es in dieser Art der "Unternehmen" Bereiche gibt, wo Wissen und Inhalte frei getauscht werden - mit einem hohen Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl, während in anderen Teilen irgendetwas vermarktet wird. Bei Craigslist zum Beispiel sind alle Online-Kleinanzeigen frei, nur für Kleinanzeigen im Job- und Wohnungsmarkt in bestimmten Städten muss bezahlt werden.
Lawrence Lessign schließt daraus, dass das Urheberrecht geändert werden muss (geändert, nicht aufgegeben). So muss die Kriminalisierung von Filesharing gestoppt werden und auch die alltägliche Schöpfung muss entkriminalisiert werden. "Parallele Ökonomien sind möglich", heißt es. Dazu zeigt Lessig einen sehr interessanten Gedankengang auf: "Die wahrscheinlich einfachste und gleichzeitig wichtigste Schlussfolgerung ist, dass parallele Ökonomien möglich sind. Ein Werk kann kommerziell lizenziert und gleichzeitig in der freien Ökonomie vorhanden sein. Wenn dieses nicht der Fall sein sollte, dann gäbe es keine Musikindustrie mehr: Trotz des Kriegs gegen Filesharing ist im Prinzip jedes einzelne Musikstück, welches kommerziell erhältlich ist, illegal in Filesharingnetzwerken auffindbar. (...) Laut Angaben der Musikindustrie würde ihr dieser Sachverhalt 21 Prozent Umsatzeinbußen bescheren. Wären parallele Ökonomien nicht möglich, so würden es nicht 21 Prozent, sondern 100 Prozent sein."
Das Buch "Remix" kann man in Englisch runterladen bei Bloomsbury Academic (http://www.bloomsburyacademic.com/remix.htm).

Kürzlich ist die neueste Ausgabe des kostenlosen Fanmagazins cevi-aktuell als PDF erschienen. Neben zahlreichen News, Interviews und Rezensionen wurden auch lokale Events unter die Lupe genommen.
(http://www.gulli.com/img/2009/cevi-aktuell.jpg)
Im Zentrum dieser Ausgabe steht zweifellos der VIC 20, der kleinere Bruder des Commodore 64. So wurde unter anderem ein Interview mit den Machern der Erweiterungshardware "Mega Card" durchgeführt.
Was Frau so alles braucht. Entwicklerin Jeri Elsworth spricht über ihre geekige Retro-Handtasche, beziehungsweise ob und wann mit einer Marktreife ihres Produkts zu rechnen ist. Eine Marktübersicht über Audiokassetten verrät, welche ihre Daten auch über Jahre hinweg am zuverlässigsten speichert.
Auch sprachen die Macher dieses Magazins mit einem österreichischen Jäger und Sammler, der über 400 Heimcomputer sein Eigen nennt. In seiner Firma wurde er schlichtweg als Schrottsammler abgestempelt, Herr Brandstötter sieht das freilich ganz anders. Das Herzstück seiner Sammlung: ein Apple Lisa 1 aus dem Jahr 1983, inklusive einem höchst seltenen 5 1/4 Twiggy Laufwerk. Eine Rezension des Spieleklassikers "Aztec Challenge" (C64), ein Bericht der Bochumer Retro-Börse, zahlreiche News und viele andere Beiträge runden das Bild dieser Ausgabe ab. Wer selber testen, schauen und nicht nur lesen will, dem Archiv wurde wie üblich das Image einer C64-Diskette beigefügt.
Die Farbversion des PDFs gibt es hier (http://www.c64.at/file.php?id=961) auf die Festplatte. Freunde des rein monochromen Lesevergnügens kommen an dieser Stelle (http://www.c64.at/file.php?id=962) auf ihre Kosten. Weitere Infos gibt es auf der offiziellen Webseite (http://www.cevi-aktuell.de.vu/) der cevi-aktuell.

Das knapp 300 Seiten starke PDF-Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Piratenpartei.
Unter dem Motto "Klarmachen zum Ändern" ist eine neue Bewegung angetreten und hat aus dem Stand mit 2 % bei den Bundestagswahlen einen bemerkenswerten Achtungserfolg erzielt. Das entspricht rund 850.000 Wählerstimmen! Was sind das für Leute, die die Familienministerin "Zensursula" nennen und das Urheberrecht revolutionieren wollen? Wo kommen die PIRATEN her und wo wollen sie hin? Wie ernst muss man eine Bewegung mit einem solch komischen Namen nehmen und was sind ihre konkreten Forderungen?

Wem bei dem kühlen Wetter nach einem neuen Roman ist, der kann jetzt für Abhilfe sorgen. Türspione von Malte Klingenhäger steht unter einer Creative Commons Lizenz und darf als PDF oder ePUB heruntergeladen werden.
Pünktlich zur NRW-Wahl präsentiert die Piratenpartei Münster das erste Werk des Autors Malte Klingenhäger. In dem heute veröffentlichten Datenschutzroman spielen der Berufsschüler David und der Beamte Desmond die beiden Hauptrollen. Desmond lebt und arbeitet recht ziellos vor sich hin, bis ein Schüler aufgrund seiner Ermittlungen verhaftet wird. Er muss sich nun entscheiden, ob er so weitermachen oder sein Leben von Grund auf verändern will.
Das Buch kann von hier (http://www.piratenpartei-muenster.de/wordpress/tuerspione/) als PDF oder ePUB direkt heruntergeladen oder via Peer-To-Peer bezogen werden. Auf The Pirate Bay wurde eine entsprechende Torrent-Datei (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5528253) vom PDF hochgeladen. Im Testdownload konnte der Lesespaß schon nach wenigen Sekunden beginnen. Wer dem Projekt helfen möchte, seeden schadet sicher nicht bei der Verbreitung.
Dem Münsteraner Studenten der Geschichts- und Literaturwissenschaften sind offensichtlich solche Menschen am liebsten, die Verantwortung für andere zeigen und ihr Leben gerne selbst in die Hand nehmen. Ob Malte Klingenhäger mit seinem Erstlingswerk seinem Vorbild Cory Doctorow gerecht werden kann, wird sich spätestens im Verlauf der 256 Seiten zeigen. Zwar war dies nicht das erste Buch des amerikanischen Aktivisten und Bloggers. Mit „Little Brother“ hat Cory die Messlatte aber sehr hoch angelegt.

Muss zu meiner Schande gestehen, dass ich noch kein einziges E-Book gelesen habe. Ich habe aber kürzlich gelesen, dass es jetzt bei Amazon mehr E-Books als gebundene Bücher gibt (oder gar gekauft wurden!). Hat denn schon jemand Praxis-Erfahrung damit? Mir kommt das Ganze immer noch so vor wie PDF-Manuals...

Mir kommt das Ganze immer noch so vor wie PDF-Manuals...
Nee ...nicht wirklich ...nutze hier eBooks schon länger (gibt auch relativ viele kostenlose zum Download) auch auf meinem Android Tablet & Handy (Kindle,Aldiko,FBReader etc...)
Und zur Verwaltung jener aufn PC funzt Calibre (hab ich hier ja auch schon oft vorgestellt) prima ...damit kann man zum Beispiel auch zwischen den verschiedenen EBook Formaten konvertieren etc...sehr praktisch ;)

Also liest Du tatsächlich vom Schirm! Ich bin das Blättern so gewohnt, dass ich mich mit dem elektronischen gar nicht abfinden kann. Werd' wohl noch 2 Jahre brauchen, bis ich zum Badesee sonen E-Schmöker mitnehme 8)
-
Jo...und umblättern halt per Fingerwisch auf dem Screen bzw. per Tastatur...ist natürlich nicht das gleiche als würde man ein gebundenes Exemplar in der Hand halten ...kann ich aber ganz gut mit leben ...
Ausserdem hat das so den Vorteil das ich z.B. unterwegs bzw. generell auf mobilen Endgeräten so eine grosse Anzahl Bücher (bei mir zumeist technischer Natur oder aus dem SciFi Bereich (z.B. Perry Rhodan))...zur Verfügung habe...für die man in der realen Welt sicherlich ne Europalette und nen Gabelstapler parat haben müsste ;D ;)

Die 5. Auflage des IT-Handbuchs für Fachinformatiker wurde vom Autor Sascha Kersken um viele aktuelle Themen und Trends erweitert.

Die 10. Auflage des Buchs »Java ist auch eine Insel« mit einer Aktualisierung auf Java 7 steht auf der Seite des Verlages zur Online-Lektüre und zum Download bereit.
(http://www.pro-linux.de/images/NB3/imgdb/o_java-ist-auch-eine-insel-10-auflage.jpg)
Wie der Verlag »Galileo Computing« bekannt gab, soll die neueste, die mittlerweile 10. Auflage Einsteigern mit Programmierkenntnissen und Industrieprogrammierern einen aktuellen und kompakten Überblick über alle wichtigen Gebiete der Java-Programmierung bieten. »Java ist auch eine Insel« behandelt Grundlagen der Programmiersprache Java bis zu fortgeschrittenen Themen wie Threads, Swing, Netzwerkprogrammierung, Java Beans, RMI, XML, Servlets, Java Server Pages und JDBC. Tipps und Tricks aus den Java-FAQs und Hinweise zu Eclipse werden regelmäßig mit in die Insel aufgenommen, um das abzudecken, was Programmierer im Alltag brauchen.
Die 10. Auflage wurde nach Angaben des Verlages gründlich überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Damit wurde dem Erscheinen der Java-Version 7 Rechnung getragen. Der Umfang wurde auf 1308 Seiten reduziert. Aus dem Buch entfernte Kapitel können aber online auf der Webseite des Autors gelesen werden. Die Reduktion der Seitenzahl war aus drucktechnischen Gründen notwendig. Da der Themenumfang zu Java aber laut dem Autor immer weiter wächst, wurde das Buch zugleich in zwei zerlegt, eines für Anfänger und eines für Fortgeschrittene. »Java ist auch eine Insel« ist das Buch für Anfänger. Das Buch für Fortgeschrittene »Java 7 - Mehr als eine Insel« ist bereits erschienen, umfasst 1433 Seiten und kostet 49,90 Euro.
Der Download beträgt rund 24,5 MB. Da das Buch im HTML-Format vorliegt, ist lediglich ein Browser zum Betrachten nötig. Das mit einer DVD ausgelieferte Werk von Christian Ullenboom kostet im Buchhandel 49,90 Euro und ist bei Galileo Computing erschienen.

E-book viewer: Fix last read position (and bookmarks in general) being inaccurate for some books.
The technique for marking locations in books used by the viewer has changed. The new technique should be much more accurate than the last one, especially when the font size at which the book is being viewed is changed. Note that this change means that bookmarks created with this release of calibre will not be read by previous calibre versions. On a technical note, the viewer now uses the CFI specification from the EPUB 3 standard for bookmarks.

New Features
When searching, allow use of un-accented characters to match accented characters in all fields and all languages (not just authors and English as before)
The rules for matching un-accented characters are done in a language dependent way. So if your calibre interface language is set to English, n will match both n and ñ, but if it is set to Spanish, it will match only n, as in Spanish ñ is a separate alphabet in Spanish.
Content server: Show a best guess for the IP address the content server is currently listening at in the connect/share menu.

E-book viewer: Add a paged mode that splits up the text into pages, like in a paper book instead of presenting it as a single column. To activate click the button with the yellow scroll icon in the top right corner.

New Features
Conversion: Add an option to embed a font family into the book.
The embedded font is used as the base font for all text that does not specify its own font family in the input document. Works only with output formats that support font embedding, principally EPUB/AZW3. Option is found under Look & Feel in the conversion dialog. You can ensure that the font is used for all text, regardless of the input document's styles by filtering out font family styles via the Filter Style Information option in the Conversion dialog.
When changing the title/author of a book, use hard links instead of copying the books' files, for a large speedup. Only works on filesystems that support hardlinks.
Linux installer: Resume interrupted downloads and verify the SHA-512 signature of the downloaded file before installing it.
Bug Fixes
Windows: Check if any of the files of a book are in use before changing the title/author, this prevents the creation of duplicate files if one of the files is open in another program

Der freie E-Book-Editor wurde in der Version 0.6.0 freigegeben. Nach der initialen Version bringt diese Version die meisten Neuerungen in der Geschichte der Anwendung. Unter anderem enthält das Programm einen Clip-Manager und fortgeschrittene Editierfunktionen.
(http://www.pro-linux.de/images/NB3/imgdb/der-freie-e-book-editor-sigil.jpg)
Sigil stellt einen von Strahinja Markovic im Jahre 2009 gestarteten E-Book-Editor dar, der mittlerweile maßgeblich durch John Schember gepflegt und erweitert wird. Die Anwendung verfügt über eine vollständige Unterstützung der EPUB-Spezifikationen und bietet die Möglichkeit, nach dem WYSIWYG-Prinzip (»What You See Is What You Get«) Dokumente zu erstellen oder zu bearbeiten. Zum Lieferumfang der Anwendung gehören neben diverser Importfilter für verschiedene Formate auch ein Metadaten-Editor, ein auf Basis von HTML-Tidy aufsetzender HTML-Validator, ein EPUB-Validationstool und die Unterstützung zahlreicher Bildformate. Bei der Suche nach Inhalten unterstützt Sigil die Verwendung von regulären Ausdrücken. Inhaltsverzeichnisse lassen sich zudem automatisch generieren.

New Features
Font embedding: Add support for the CSS 3 Fonts module, which means you can embed font families that have more that the usual four faces, with the full set of font-stretch and font-weight variations. Of course, whether the fonts actually show up on a reader will depend on the readers' support for CSS 3.
Sharing by email: Allow specifying an 'alias' or friendly name by which to identify each email recipient.
Closes tickets: 1069076
Embedding fonts: Allow adding ttf/otf font files to calibre directly to be used for embedding. That way the fonts do not have to be installed system wide. You can add a font to calibre via the 'Add fonts' button in the font chooser dialog for embedding fonts.
E-book viewer: Add the ability to rotate images to the popup image viewer.
Closes tickets: 1073513
Generate cover: Speedup searching the system for a font that can render special characters
A new custom font scanner to locate all fonts on the system. Faster and less crash prone that fontconfig/freetype

Template editor: Use dummy metadata instead of blank/unknown values
Windows: abort setting of title/author if any of the books' files are in use. Results in less surprising behavior than before, when the title/author would be changed, but the on disk location would not.

New Features
Experimental support for subsetting fonts
Subsetting a font means reducing the font to contain only the glyphs for the text actually present in the book. This can easily halve the size of the font. calibre can now do this for all embedded fonts during a conversion. Turn it on via the 'Subset all embedded fonts' option under the Look & Feel section of the conversion dialog. calibre can subset both TrueType and OpenType fonts. Note that this code is very new and likely has bugs, so please check the output if you turn on subsetting. The conversion log will have info about the subsetting operations.
EPUB Input: Try to workaround EPUBs that have missing or damaged ZIP central directories. calibre should now be able to read/convert such an EPUB file, provided it does not suffer from further corruption.

New Features
Add an option to show the cover size in the book details panel on the right. Option is in Preferences->Look & Feel->Book Details
Kobo driver: Add support for firmware 2.2. Also add an option to send series information to the device.
The newest Kobo firmware can display series information. Unfortunately, the Kobo does not read this information from the ebook file itself.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all ☺
When connecting to MTP devices such as the Kindle Fire HD or the Nook HD, speed up the process by ignoring some folders.
calibre will now ignore folders for music, video, pictures, etc. when scanning the device.

The list of folders to be ignored can be customized by right clicking on the device icon in calibre and selecting 'Configure this device'.

New Features
New tool: "Polish books" that allows you to perform various automated cleanup actions on EPUB and AZW3 files without doing a full conversion.
Polishing books is all about putting the shine of perfection on your ebook files. You can use it to subset embedded fonts, update the metadata in the book files from the metadata in the calibre library, manipulate the book jacket, etc. More features will be added in the future. To use this tool, go to Preferences->Toolbar and add the Polish books tool to the main toolbar. Then simply select the books you want to be polished and click the Polish books button. Polishing, unlike conversion, does not change the internal structure/markup of your book, it performs only the minimal set of actions needed to achieve its goals. Note that polish books is a completely new codebase, so there may well be bugs, polishing a book backs up the original as ORIGINAL_EPUB or ORIGINAL_AZW3, unless you have turned off this feature in Preferences->Tweaks, in which case you should backup your files manually. You can also use this tool from the command line with ebook-polish.exe.

New Features
Metadata download: Add two new sources for covers: Google Image Search and bigbooksearch.com.
To enable them go to Preferences->Metadata download and enable the 'Google Image' and 'Big Book Search' sources. Google Images is useful for finding larger covers as well as alternate versions of the cover. Big Book Search searches for alternate covers from amazon.com. It can occasionally find nicer covers than the direct Amazon source. Note that both these sources download multiple covers for a single book. Some of these covers can be wrong (i.e. they may be of a different book or not covers at all, so you should inspect the results and manually pick the best match). When bulk downloading, these sources are only used if the other sources find no covers.

New Features
Virtual Libraries: Easily partition your large calibre library into smaller 'virtual' libraries
A virtual library is a way to tell calibre to open only a subset of a normal library. For example, you might want to only work with books by a certain author, or books having only a certain tag. To use this feature, click the button labeled 'Virtual Library' to the left of the search bar. For details, see http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/virtual_libraries.html This feature used to be called 'Search restriction', the new virtual libraries are easier to use, but otherwise fulfil the same function.

New Features
TXT Input: Allow using various markdown extensions for more features when converting markdown formatted txt files. See http://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/index.html for details.
Sending by email: Allow sending by email to an arbitrary combination of email address. Access it via the 'Select recipients' menu entry in the Email To menu.
Closes tickets: 1207818

E-Books verwalten, mit Metadaten versehen, ins passende Format konvertieren und die digitale Bibliothek durchstöbern: Das sind nur die Kernfunktionen der vielseitigen Open-Source-Software Calibre. Das Programm unterstützt eine lange Liste an E-Book-Readern, bietet viele Funktionen und lässt sich mit Plug-ins um einige mehr erweitern.
Mittlerweile bei Version 1.9 angelangt, hat sich die plattformübergreifend verfügbare E-Book-Verwaltung Calibre längst unentbehrlich gemacht. Der rege Entwickler veröffentlicht mehrmals im Monat neue Versionen, sodass man nicht lange auf Unterstützung für neue E-Book-Reader und kleine Verbesserungen warten muss. Die mächtige E-Book-Verwaltung kann Dokumente und E-Books ganz unterschiedlicher Formate in einer Oberfläche verwalten und in andere Formate konvertieren. Auch der Transport auf das gewünschte Lesegerät ist für die Software kein Problem – egal ob es sich dabei um einen E-Book-Reader, ein Tablet oder ein Smartphone handelt.
Das Programm bearbeitet auch die Metadaten der E-Books, sodass sich hier kurze Zusammenfassungen, beliebige Schlagworte, ein Cover-Bild, eine eigene Bewertung und viele weitere Informationen rund ums Buch speichern lassen. Calibres Vorschau zeigt Bücher auch am Bildschirm an, sofern sie nicht kopiergeschützt sind. Damit kann man etwa das Ergebnis einer Konvertierung überprüfen oder auch am PC lesen.

New Features
A new book editor, capable of editing files in the EPUB and AZW3 (Kindle) formats
Right click on any book in calibre and choose 'Edit Book', to edit e-books in the EPUB and AZW3 formats. The new editor allows you to edit the HTML/CSS and images inside the ebooks in a seamless fashion, with live preview of your changes and many helpful automated tools for checking the book for errors, editing the table of contents, merging, splitting, bulk renaming and so on. See http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/edit.html for more details and help using the new editor. Note that the editor is a completely new codebase and is still being actively developed, so expect a few bugs and many new features in the near future. However, the editor as it stands is extremely useable and useful today. Note that it replaces the old 'Tweak Book' feature in calibre. If you want the old Tweak Book back, it has been renamed to 'Unpack Book', you can go to Preferences->Toolbars and add it back. Happy holidays!

Eines der wohl umfassendsten Nachschlagewerke, wenn es um die Bearbeitung der Registry geht.
Viele Anwender scheuen Änderungen an der Windows-Registry. Zu kompliziert erscheinen die meist verwirrend verflechteten und unverständlichen Einträge. Wer etwas genaueres über die Struktur seines Betriebssystems erfahren und vor allem lernen möchte, wo was mit welchen Folgen geändert werden kann, sollte sich dieses Freeware-Tool genauer ansehen.
Erweiterte Hilfe-Datei
Registry Dompteur ist im Aufbau sehr einfach: Im Prinzip ist das Programm lediglich eine funktionserweiterte Hilfe-Datei, die zu einer umfassenden Registry-Bibliothek ausgearbeitet wurde.
Ganz gleich, ob Sie sich nacheinander durch die über 1.000 Themen durcharbeiten wollen oder per Volltextsuche auf eine spezielle Problemlösung zugreifen wollen, die Software hat meist eine Antwort parat. In knappen und verständlichen Sätzen erklärt der Autor, welche Änderung welches Resultat zur Folge hat.
Fazit: Das kleine Utility ist ein angenehm Programm, das mit minimalem Aufwand einen erstaunlich hohen Nutzwert erzielt. Registry Dompteur sollte auf keinem Windows-PC fehlen.

Wie John Schember auf der Sigil-Projekt-Website bekannt gab, wird der Epub-Editor nicht mehr aktiv weiterentwickelt. Auch der Umzug des Codes zu Github hat nicht die erhoffte Belebung gebracht.
Sigil, der Open-Source-Editor für Epub-Dateien, wird nicht länger weiterentwickelt. John Schember, seit 2011 Maintainer von Sigil, zieht nach einigen Monaten Bilanz: Vom Umzug des Codes zu Github im September 2013 habe er sich eine Belebung der Entwicklung des plattformübergreifend verfügbaren Editors erhofft. Allerdings habe es nur wenige Commits gegeben, die zudem meist nur Kleinigkeiten lieferten. Die letzte Version 0.7.4 des Tools vom Oktober 2013 könne jedoch vorerst weiterbenutzt werden, solange sie funktioniere.
Als Alternative empfiehlt Schember die E-Book-Verwaltung Calibre, die mittlerweile auch einen Editor für E-Books mitbringe. Dieser sei stabil und enthalte bereits viele, wenn auch nicht alle der von Sigil bereitgestellten Funktionen. Calibres Editor sei ebenfalls Open Source und werde aktiv entwickelt. Zwar verwende Calibres E-Book-Editor keinen Code von Sigil, er sehe ihn aber als geistigen Nachfolger.

Ein Urteil, in dem Anbietern von E-Book- und Hörbuch-Downloads das Recht zugebilligt wurde, Weiterverkäufe der Inhalte zu untersagen, ist nun rechtskräftig. Der deutsche Buchhandel ist zufrieden.
Anbieter von E-Book- und Hörbuch-Downloads dürfen den Weiterverkauf der Dateien untersagen. Ein entsprechendes Urteil des Oberlandesgerichts (OLG) Hamm aus dem Mai dieses Jahres ist jetzt rechtskräftig geworden. Wie der Bundesgerichtshof in Karlsruhe am Donnerstag bestätigte, hat der Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband e.V. seinen Einspruch gegen die Entscheidung des OLG, eine Revision nicht zuzulassen, zurückgenommen hat. Die Verbraucherzentrale hatte gegen einen Online-Händler geklagt, der das Verbot des Weiterverkaufs in seinen Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen verankert hat. (BGH AZ: I-ZR 120/14, OLG Hamm AZ: 22 U 60/13)
Das nun rechtskräftige Urteil sei ein wichtiges, positives Signal, hieß es in einer Mitteilung des Börsenvereins des Deutschen Buchhandels. Die Entstehung eines Gebrauchtmarktes für E-Books und Hörbücher könne weder im Sinne der Autoren, Verlage und Händler noch der Kunden sein. Der Primärmarkt für digitale Inhalte würde in einem solchen Fall völlig zusammenbrechen. "Für Verlage wäre es unmöglich, digitale Buchinhalte gut und kostengünstig für den Leser anzubieten, die Autoren angemessen zu vergüten und gemeinsam mit dem Handel weiter an nachhaltigen und kundenfreundlichen Download-Modellen für Bücher zu arbeiten", wurde der Justiziar des Börsenvereins, Christian Sprang zitiert.

New Features
E-book viewer: Show footnotes in a separate popup window
Now when you click on a link to a footnote/endnote, the corresponding note is shown in a separate popup window, for convenient reference. Footnote links are recognized using the EPUB 3 footnote markup as well as some heuristics. Any superscript or subscript links are assumed to be footnote links. Any link that links to another file which in turn links back to the original link, is assumed to be an endnote.
Cover Grid: Improve scroll wheel based scrolling.
On windows and linux a single "tick" of the wheel now scrolls by about half a row instead of a full screen. On OS X, scrolling is pixel based, so as you scroll faster, more content is scrolled.

Changelog
Removed Tidy and replaced it with a combination of a specially modified Gumbo parser that supports html5
Removed Xerces, XercesExtras, Boost, and unused bundles.
Updated the source code to be compatible with the latest clang compiler by replacing all "undefined - behaviour" use of "Null" References with proper pointers across entire codebase
Completely revamped the build process to embed the Python 3.4 Interpreter inside of Sigil and integrate it in, including as site-packages: lxml, bs4, PIL, regex, six, html5lib]. This will allow plugins that use the internal Python 3.X engine access to all of these specialized packages by default with no additional action needed by end users of their plugin.
Created our own version of BeautifulSoup4-4.4.0 called sigil_bs4 that fixes lxml namespace bugs, fixes serialization/prettyprinting of inline xhtml tags, and modifies the bs4 codebase so that a single source code works equally well on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.X
Replaced internal opf and ncx xml processing and cleaning with a combination of embedded Python 3.4, sigil_bs4 / lxml
We now build Hunspell as a shared library and added a ctypes interface to allow plugins to spellcheck
We now build our modified gumbo html5 parser as a shared library and provide a bs4 ctypes interface to it for easy xhtml processing in plugins that use either Python 2.7 or Python 3.X
Allowed plugins to auto-fix "text/html" media-types to "application/xhtml+xml"
Began the transition to allow for both epub2 and epub3 editing (Note: epub3 editing is still incomplete)
Converted Flightcrew to become a Sigil plugin and replace it with a simple and fast internal sanity checker.
Updated Hunspell dictionaries to be actual dictionaries and not just word lists for en_US and en_GB
Updated other dictionaries to their most current version to match what is used in LibreOffice 5
Fix issue #54 modified date using local numerials when it should be using Arabic numerals per the spec.
Set the book to modified when font's are obfuscated.
Change FORCE_BUNDLED_COPIES build flag to USE_SYSTEM_LIBS. This flips the meaning of the flag. Now USE_SYSTEM_LIBS will enable using system libraries. Also, SYSTEM_LIBS_REQUIRED was added which will fail the cmake configure if any system libraries are not found instead of falling back to the bundled copy. Finally, this makes the build more consistent for Windows and OS X users.

New Features
A new tool to apply Tag mapper rules to existing books in the library. To use it, go to Preferences->Toolbars and add the tool to the toolbar.
Kindle driver: Detect books in Amazon's new KFX format present on e-ink kindles.
Closes tickets: 1496206
Note that this only detects KFX books and allows you to delete them. You cannot copy them to your calibre library. Doing so would be pointless anyway, as KFX books are specialised for individual devices. Instead go to your 'Manage my content' page an amazon.com and download them from there -- this will give you a regular azw3 file you can add to calibre.

- Extended the plugin interface to add support for epub3 bindings elements

Be aware that Sigil-0.9.6 still enforces the need for epub3 to have and support an NCX so that it generates as backward a compatible epub as possible. This may be relaxed in future releases.
Sigil-0.9.6 like its predecessors passed all of the following tests for epub3 support: iframe, img, audio, video , mathml, svg (except for svg support in the spine), javascript, and of course recognizing and allowing html5 specific tags like section, and etc. Sigil-0.9.6 also supports javascript based local-storage and display of embedded pdfs.
Download Location
The official location for downloading this Sigil release (and all official releases) is:
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.9.6
Downloading binaries from anyplace else is simply NOT a good idea as they could inject anything into their own downloads. After downloading, please verify the downloaded binary exactly matches what was originally posted by running an SHA 256 checksum on the file before installing it. See the file Sigil-0.9.6-CHECKSUMS.sha256.txt for the correct checksums for each file and instructions for how to calculate a SHA 256 Checksum for your download. The Mac OS X Package has also been code signed with my Apple Developer signature.
Linux Users
There are currently no binary releases available for Linux on the Sigil Release page. Please check with your favorite distro's software repositories to see if they have Sigil for installation via your OS's package management system. If not, there are build instructions for compiling Sigil yourself in the source archive's docs directory: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/tree/master/docs
Don't forget the FlightCrew plugin
Please note, the epub2 validator FlightCrew has been converted to a plugin for Sigil 0.8.900 and later.
This plugin has been updated for Sigil-0.9.3 (and later). It can be downloaded from the official Sigil-Ebook flightcrew repository if you have not already installed it.
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/flightcrew/releases/tag/0.9.1
Attention Mac OS X Users
Per the recommendation of www.python.org (see https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/), due to bugs and the age of Apple's internal Tcl library, you should also download and install ActiveState's ActiveTcl Community Edition. To get the latest bug fixes, Sigil-0.9.6's embedded Python has been linked with the very latest version: Tcl 8.6.4.1
We may not redistribute this Package with Sigil due to ActiveState's binary non-redistribution policy.
So please, if you have not already done so download and install this version of ActiveState's Active Tcl Community Edition, until we get a chance to do our own build of Tcl 8.6.4.1 from source for future releases. ActiveState is a primary contributor to www.python.org and a respected and trusted source for python and tcl/tk related binaries on both Windows and Mac OS X.
See: http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads
Version: 8.6.4.1
Some Additional things
When you fire up Sigil for the very first time:
navigate to the new General Preferences and select the default
epub version you plan to work with (epub 2 or epub3) so that new
empty ebooks start with the correct code.
if you plan to work with epub3 epubs, you should change your
PreserveEntities setting to use ONLY NUMERIC entities.
For example use & # 1 6 0 ; for non-breaking spaces and etc.
We strongly recommend enabling Mend On Open in your settings
for best performance with Sigil

Sigil is an advanced ebook editor that provides users with comprehensive options and configuration settings. It offers support for HTML, XHTML, TXT, image and video files, and it comes wrapped in a user-friendly interface that puts emphasis on simplicity. It is capable of generating ePub files.
License: GPLv3
Changelog
This Sigil release is a mix of bug fixes and new features for both epub2 and epub3 users. Some of the highlights for this release include:
Allow plugins to supply their own icon (plugin.png 48x48) for use on the Quick Launch Toolbar icons.
Allow users to add custom css rules to Preview/Book View by creating a file called "custom_preview_style.css" in the Sigil preferences folder.
The Sigil User Manual was updated to include the feature set consistent with Sigil v0.9.x. We have Tex2002ans to thank for this!
Many crashing scenarios were also addressed.
The specific changes/additions follow...
Bug Fixes
Fix signal handling to prevent double launch of plugins immediately after plugin installed
Fixed incorrect named entity tooltips for many of the Insert-> Special Characters
Fixed lack of recognition of woff2 fonts inside Sigil and for plugins
Fix segfault when .xml is first file in BookBrowser and add new html or split at cursor is invoked
Fix bug that allowed multiple audio/video tabs of the same resource to be opened
Fix plugin related bug when adding/removing last xhtml file
Fix Text Direction setting inside body to use structural dir attribute under epub3
Fix duplicate group-position property in epub3 MetaData Editor
Use absolute path references when first opening Sigil with an ebook so that Open Recent works better
Fix "issue" in handling self-closing script tags in head (similar issue that we had with self-closing title tags)
Fix issue converting Qt Strings to their Python equivalent when outside the BMP
Fix issue with trying to add existing html files when names clash due to case insensitive file systems
Fix crash bug after styling text in BookView and immediately going to CodeView without moving cursor
Fix crash bugs after deleting resources contained in a Report in the BookBrowser
Fix bug that destroys nav if left in unparseable state by user even temporarily
Fix bug that moved cursor to beginning of tag block when save is done in CodeView
New Features
allow plugins to supply their own icon (plugin.png 48x48) for use on the Quick Launch Toolbar icons
extend plugin interface to include the status of the epub inside Sigil (modified or saved)
extend plugin interface to include the path to the saved epub file or the null string if never saved
extend Insert->Special Characters to include both a Greek letter panel and a mathematical symbol panel
add support for calibre:series and calibre:series_index to Metadata Editor for epub2
add support for calibre:title_sort to Metadata Editor for epub2
add support for clicking internal links in Preview to load the proper destination tab
add support for loading Qt's base translation files if present. Allows buttons on native qt dialogs to
be translated (Windows users may need to manually copy newer qtbase_xx.qm files to Sigil's translation
directory if they didn't exist in Qt5.6.2)
allow user to add custom css rules to Preview/Book View by creating a file called "custom_preview_style.css"
in the Sigil preferences folder (not responsible for custom css and ebook css fighting with each other)
Be aware that Sigil-0.9.10 still enforces the need for epub3 to have and support an NCX so that it generates as backward a compatible epub as possible. This may be relaxed in future releases.
Sigil-0.9.10 like its predecessors passed all of the following tests for epub3 support: iframe, img, audio, video , mathml, svg (except for svg support in the spine), javascript, and of course recognizing and allowing html5 specific tags like section, and etc. Sigil-0.9.10 also supports javascript based local-storage and display of embedded pdfs.
Download Location
The official location for downloading this Sigil release (and all official releases) is:
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.9.10
The latest version of the Sigil User Guide can be downloaded from: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/raw/master/docs/Sigil_User_Guide.epub
Downloading binaries from anyplace else is simply NOT a good idea as they could inject anything into their own downloads. After downloading, please verify the downloaded binary exactly matches what was originally posted by running an SHA 256 checksum on the file before installing it. See the file Sigil-0.9.10-CHECKSUMS.sha256.txt for the correct checksums for each file and instructions for how to calculate a SHA 256 Checksum for your download. The Mac OS X Package has also been code signed with my Apple Developer signature.
Windows Users
If your current version of Sigil is 0.9.6 or earlier, it's recommended (but not required) that you uninstall that version before installing 0.9.10. Some compiled Python files have had their file extentions changed (as well as the change to Python 3.5). As a result, there will be a lot of extraneous files left lying around if you just install the new over the old. It won't cause any functionality problems, but if disk space is at a premium, you may want to clean things up a bit. You can do this by uninstalling Sigil at any time (even after 0.9.10 is installed) and reinstalling. Doing so won't affect your any of your preferences, plugins, keyboard shortcuts, clips, saved searches, etc.
Linux Users
There are currently no official binary releases available for Linux on the Sigil Release page. Please check with your favorite distro's software repositories to see if they have Sigil for installation via your OS's package management system. If not, there are build instructions for compiling Sigil yourself in the source archive's docs directory: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/tree/master/docs

Sigil is an advanced ebook editor that provides users with comprehensive options and configuration settings. It offers support for HTML, XHTML, TXT, image and video files, and it comes wrapped in a user-friendly interface that puts emphasis on simplicity. It is capable of generating ePub files.
License: GPLv3
Changelog
Sigil-1.0.0 represents a major milestone in Sigil's history. The requirement that all epubs must be restructured to meet Sigil's long-held standard has finally been lifted. Users can still manually choose to restructure epubs to the old Sigil standards if they choose, but it will no longer be done automatically upon opening. Please read the following notes carefully to avoid confusion.
The major changes since Sigil-0.9.18 include the following:
Upon initial load, the epub structure that exists will be loaded and kept in its "as-is" state, moving and renaming nothing
The BookBrowser will still show the Text, Images, Styles, Fonts, Audio, Video, and Misc "folders" but these are now "virtual folders" that simply organize the existing resources by type but do not restrict their actual location within the epub.
A new Preferences setting has been added to the Appearance Preferences that will determine if the book folder relative path will be shown in the BookBrowser or its shorter unique name (filename) will be used instead. In either case, the BookBrowser tooltips will always show the file's true book folder relative path. Duplicate file names (in different subfolders) will always show the longer path to be able to differentiate between them regardless of the new Appearance Preference.
A Tools menu item has been added to standardize any epub already loaded to Sigil's old structure
A Tools menu item has been added to allow a user to design a custom "empty" epub layout
A "Move" context menu item has been added to BookBrowser to enable moving of resources to where you want them to be.
A "Rename" context menu item has been added to BookBrowser to enable renaming of the NCX and OPF resources.
The python plugin interface has been extended to support all of this as documented in the new Sigil_Plugin_Framework_rev12.epub and online at MobileRead in our Plugin Development thread.
Please note, the design goal of Sigil 1.0.0 was to make minimal changes for users and ebook developers that still want to use Sigil as they did. The new Preference setting defaults to showing only the filename as before, and the default empty epub for creating new epubs is the same as before. The interface and functionality should stay almost exactly the same. Loading any epub previously saved by Sigil will still work exactly as before. Only editing new epubs that are in non-standard form will necessitate a use of the new Tool menu (see the fourth item above) to standardize it.
Bug Fixes (since the 0.9.991 Pre-release):
All bugs reported in alpha release have been fixed.

Thorium Reader is the EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10, MacOS and Linux.
This EDRLab application is in constant development and aims at becoming a reference for accessing EPUB 3 publications in reflow or fixed layout format, visual narratives (DiViNa), audiobooks and even LCP protected PDF documents.
Huge efforts are made to get Thorium Reader highly accessible for visually impaired and dyslexic people.
This application is free, with no ads and no leaks of private data.
Changelog
New and updated translations: Bulgarian, Greek, Croatian, Korean, Portuguese (Portugal).
Reader / image zoom: major feature update from initial proof of concept, better user experience (finger touch, trackpad gestures, mouse wheel, keyboard), support for raster/bitmap images as well as SVG markup.
Reader / MathML: native rendering in Chromium (Electron v25), Thorium 2.2.0 included a version of Chromium that did not support MathML natively (MathJax was the only way to display MathML).
Reader / MathML: MathJax dynamic aria-label (speech text) is overridden by authored alt-text (if present), Thorium TTS readaloud speaks it, screen readers do too but have the option to dig further / deeper into the MathML structure (useful with screen reader specialised plugins).
Reader / navigation history: hyperlink activation now correctly sets the landmark for previous/next navigation.
Reader / text display: fixed left/right/justify text alignement ("start" can be left or right depending on document language), "automatic" is now "default" with changed SVG icon to avoid confusion.
Reader / UX: finger swipe gesture can now be used to turn pages (requires touch screen).
Reader text selection: double-click now works (bookmarks label for now, later in upcoming annotations feature).
Reader / TTS: fixed aria-label support on img (alongside alt attribute), epub:type pagebreak (and role doc- prefix), title/label takes precedence over inner text, same with links. NOTE: this will need future update to match W3C specifications for computation of accessible label and description.
Reader / TTS: fixed voice selection based on user choice + language match (for example: fr-FR vs. fr-CA variants, en-US vs. en-UK, user wins over authored lang).
Reader / TTS: fixed paused / stopped state in playback controls.
Reader / TTS: fixed support for Japanese ruby, RT markup is now ignored.
Reader / TTS: captions / simplified view, initial text without active word boundary was not escaped (ampersand character).
Reader / Popup footnotes: fixed handling of SVG a@href links.
Reader / HTML5 audio: fixed visible controls visibility.
Reader / EPUB: navigator.epubReadingSystem object injection in iframes (including SVG).
Reader / EPUB: FXL fixed-layout rendition-prefixed page-spread-left/center/right properties on spine item, was only parsing non-prefixed variant.
Reader / Media Overlays: fixed click on non-synchronised HTML element which now preserves current playback location / timestamp (was reseting to begining of document).
Reader / UX: mouse middle-click was causing opening in external Electron window.
DAISY: fixed v2.02 and v3.0 import of ncc.html or *.opf, now works when loading from non-zipped publications.
OPDS: feed entry fallback cascade was too permissive (publication info was incorrectly fetching borrow/buy links in some cases).
OPDS: fixed "search" relative URLs in OPDS1(XML) and OPDS2(JSON), fixed URI Templates curly brace escaping in URL path.
OPDS: fixed publication title which was not displayed.
OPDS: added display of accessibility metadata.
GUI: fixed dark/night and sepia modes in audiobook playback rate chooser and TTS + Media Overlays rate/voice choosers.
GUI: fixed edge-case of auto-focus fail on default dialog button (e.g. invoking the delete action from the popup menu was failing to auto-focus the default ok button, whereas this worked when reaching the same modal dialog prompt via the publication info sheet).
GUI / accessibility: improved keyboard shortcuts editor usability, for both screen reader and keyboard users
GUI / UX: improved error message during file import, unsupported extension / document type.
TTS: now enabled by default on Linux (Electron command line parameter "enable-speech-dispatcher").

Thorium Reader is the EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10, MacOS and Linux.
This EDRLab application is in constant development and aims at becoming a reference for accessing EPUB 3 publications in reflow or fixed layout format, visual narratives (DiViNa), audiobooks and even LCP protected PDF documents.
Huge efforts are made to get Thorium Reader highly accessible for visually impaired and dyslexic people.
This application is free, with no ads and no leaks of private data.
Changelog
New user interface locales: Slovenian/Slovenš?ina, and Danish/Dansk (Thorium is now translated in 25 languages). Also updated the Portuguese (Portugal) and Swedish translations (many thanks to the contributors!). Also fixed a bug with the variants of Chinese (traditional vs. simplified) and Portuguese (Portugal vs. Brazil) related to the "about Thorium" XHTML files which failed to load due to lowercase filenames vs. mixed-case language code.
Fixed RTL Right-To-Left (Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese in Vertical Writing Mode, etc.) support in the footer bar (interactive reading progression control) and history buttons.
Support for Japanese vertical writing mode, right-to-left direction. New option to disable RTL inversion in the user interface (several clusters of previous/next controls, play/pause button, interactive reading progression bar). New option to visually hide Ruby superscript, which (by the way) is automatically ignored during text search in order to avoid breaking character sequences inside the baseline Ruby script. Special handling of WBR Word Break Opportunities, in order to implement word-level spacing (note that character-level is now also available, using ReadiumCSS). New font families / typeface options specifically for Japanese language, not shipped in Thorium but automatically prioritised if the fonts are available in the operating system (just as before, the user can select any system font by specifying its name, but this is a different feature which exposes known typefaces that are commonly used on the web as "sensible" defaults for Japanese script, in sans-serif and serif variants for vertical and horizontal writing modes). Compatibility with the TTS readaloud and EPUB Media Overlays features (synchronised text + audio), except "simplified / captions" mode which continues to display text in horizontal writing mode. Ruby superscript / ancilliary content is automatically skipped during TTS (a future version of Thorium will need to flexibly cater for different user experiences by differentiating skippability of page breaks, image descriptions, alternative text for MathML, Ruby superscript, etc.). Improved handling of Japanese publications and documents that do not declare vertical/horizontal writing direction or that incorrectly specify RTL/LTR in the usual expected places (e.g. HTML or BODY elements, package OPF XML). Also added more robust support for publications that declare top-level page-progresion-direction RTL/LTR in the package OPF XML but change direction in some spine item HTML documents (hybrid modes).
Fixed a number of bugs in TTS readaloud and EPUB Media Overlays which were causing the playback position to jump back to the beginning of the document (for example, when clicking on images without audio).
Added the possibility to use TTS readaloud with EPUB publications that have Media Overlays (pre-recorded audio), by clicking the play button while holding the SHIFT+ALT key modifiers which is a common keyboard combo already used for several "alt" functionality in Thorium.
Implemented support for text paragraphs that span across page boundaries when displaying documents in paginated mode with single or two page spreads. Now, bookmarks and other reading locations that accurately select character ranges are restored correctly (before the fix, the containing paragraph HTML element would be designated, causing a confusing shift to the previous page).
Added handling of diacritics (accented characters) in the "find text" / "search" feature. Essentially, characters like "e" "è" "é" "ë" "ê" etc. are considered equivalent in both the query string and the targeted document text. Also implemented basic transliteration of some common ligatures (for example "egg" in French: Œuf vs. œuf vs. oeuf). More improvements are expected as we gather feedback from users in certain locales, such as with modern German language which features several commonly-used character equivalencies.
Fixed text search bug related to CDATA in HTML and SVG fragments (e.g. <style> contents)
Significantly improved text highlighting engine which now computes polygons and renders SVG instead of relying on basic HTML + CSS rectangular shapes. This core functionality is used in the "TTS" feature (yellow background for sentences, orange underline for words), in the "find" feature (green background and pink for the active search result) and in the upcoming "annotations" feature (all of which can reliably be used concurrently, as the drawing operations are not desctructive on the HTML/SVG DOM). Currently, 4 different types of highlights are implemented: solid translucent area background, area outline, line-by-line underline and strikethrough. Highlights are lightweight affordances that can overlap and be interacted with using the mouse / tracking device cursor, while allowing for text selection underneath. Highlights can be selectively grouped, either rendered inline (default) or displayed on the periphery of the document content in the form of non-obstructive margin indicators which are also interactive (cursor hover, click). The highlighting engine works with reflowable documents in paginated mode (single or two page spreads), in scrolling viewport, with fixed-layout documents at any zoom level, in right-to-left direction (margin indicators on the right hand side), in left-to-right (margin indicators left-aligned), in vertical writing mode (margin indicators at the top). The highlighting implementation caters for special cases such as Japanese Ruby superscript. The actual "annotations" feature is incomplete at this stage (planned for the next major release Thorium v3.0), but text highlighting text is currently exposed as a hidden feature, available only in developer builds.
Added support for proof-of-concept sign language EPUB3 Media Overlays (text synchronised with video instead of audio). The prototype features a detachable video frame which can be resized and moved outside of Thorium's window, in order to avoid obscuring the document text during synchronised playback.
Under the hood, Thorium now ships the latest Electron v29 which bundles Chromium v122 and NodeJS v20. This brings a range of improvements (performance, accessibility, operating system integration, etc.).
Behind the scenes, React 18 is now used to render Thorium's user interface. Also fixed unnecessary re-renders (small performance improvement gains).
Apple Silicon native ARM64 (aarch64) builds of Thorium are now available for optimal performance on Mac hardware (M1, M2, M3, etc.). The builds for Intel x64 / x86_64 / amd64 architecture will continue to be available in the foreseable future.
Added a developer convenience: Linux Docker to build Thorium from MacOS Arm64 and Intel64 hardware.
Fixed a keyboard shortcut bug which occasionally caused failures to activate after alt-tabbing into other system windows (other applications).
Fixed handling of hyperlinks during audio playback.
Fixed TTS continuous playback across document boundaries (now matches EPUB Media Overlays behaviour, for better UX consistency).
Fixed an occasional Redux state diff crash (RFC lib) with large documents.
Internal changes in preparation for a significant GUI refactoring which will improve styling, colour themes, etc. (PostCSS deprecation, introduction of SASS toolchain, new UI libraries for popup modals, etc.)
Fixed Windows filesystem bug (forbidden characters), improved "save as" file selector used for exporting publications.
Fixed occasional OPDS authentication bug, and display of navigation history / trail.
Fixed missing APIAPP authentication request header (grant_type=password)

Whats new:>>
HOTFIX: regression bug from v2.3 in v2.4.0 with publication metadata title which can be missing (this was previously handled gracefully, but in v2.4.0 this causes a non-fatal crash that creates an empty bookshelf ... the library of books still exists if the user just closes Thorium without adding any new books, as this would otherwise refresh the database to a clean state)
