Kovid Goyal released today, August 26, 2016, a new maintenance update of his popular, cross-platform, and open-source Calibre e-book viewer, converter and library management tool.

Calibre 2.65 was announced earlier, and it looks like it's both a feature and bugfix release that adds drivers for the Kobo Aura One and Kobo Aura Edition 2 ebook readers, along with a new option to the Kobo driver to allow users to ignore certain collections on their ebook reader.

The list of new features continues with support for right-to-left text and tables to the DOCX Input feature, as well as the implementation of a new option to allow users to make searching case-sensitive. This option can be found and enabled in the "Searching" configuration section under Preferences.

Calibre 2.65.1 out now to fix a crash

Of course, Calibre 2.65 also addresses several of the major issue reported by users since the previous maintenance update, Calibre 2.64, such as drag and drop of text in Edit Book, generating of ToCs (Table of Contents) from headings and xpath in ToC wizard, as well as duplicate names in the hyphenation dictionary chooser of the E-book viewer.

Other than the above, images that contain the # character in their filenames are now being correctly converted by DOCX Input, and some icons and images in the GUI should no longer look blurry in HiDPI environments like OS X retina screens. A regression from Calibre 2.64 that could have caused completion popups to fail was fixed as well.

Last but not least, the New Yorker and Le Scienze news sources have been improved. But wait, that's not all, as Kovid Goyal also released Calibre 2.65.1 a few minutes ago to patch a crash that might have occurred when a device was connected and the cover grid feature enabled.
