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

    Implement tag mapping to automatically filter/transform tags when adding books or downloading metadata

    Now you can create simple rules that will filter/transform the tags when adding new books or downloading metadata for books. To setup the rules, go to Preferences->Adding books and Preferences->Downloading metadata
    Kobo driver: Support for newly firmware version 3.18

    Closes tickets: 1499340
    Edit Book: Add a setting to control icon size for the toolbars (Preferences->Toolbars)

    Closes tickets: 1498207

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.

Bug Fixes

    TXT Output: Do not fail when input contains HTML comments with double hyphens in the comment text.
    E-book polishing: Show a confirmation if the user selects both the add and remove jacket actions.
    Edit Book: Fix order of checkboxes in filter style information tool is random
    PDB Input: Ingore malformed metadata records.

    Closes tickets: 1499878
    Revert change in previous release to workaround broken xdg-open on linux. Apparently xdg-open is so badly broken that working around it is not possible.

    Closes tickets: 1500226
    ZIP Output: Fix system encoding being used instead of UTF-8 for html files.
