- version: 0.6.54
date: 2010-05-21
new features:
- title: "EPUB Output: Add option to toggle preserving the aspect ratio of the cover."
type: major
description: >
"By default calibre creates an SVG based cover that scales with the screen size of the reader used to view it. Previosuly this scaling
was limited to preserve the aspect ratio of the image. This would often result in white borders at the sides or top and bottom of the image.
No, by default, calibre will setup the cover to not preserve aspect ratio, doing away with the white borders. The downside is that if the
aspect ratio of the cover is very different from the reader, it will look distorted. The old behavior can be restored via
Preferences->Conversion->EPUB Output."
- title: "Conversion pipeline: calibre will now automatically replace all ligatures in the input document."
type: major
description: >
"Conversion pipeline: calibre will now automatically replace all ligatures in the input document with the normal character
sequence they are meant to represent. This is because most readers lack the font support to display ligatures.
This can be turned off via an option under Look & Feel, in the Conversion settings."
