What is new in this release:

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.
  • <li">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. <li">Get Books: Add the Bubok Portugal store. <li">Performance improvement for large libraries that using custom columns built with templates. <li">Review downloaded metadata dialog: Allow merging tags by long clicking the revert button.
