There are so many updates I missed. Now it is 0.9.29. My previous upgrade is to 0.9.24
New features of 0.9.29
- Bulk metadata download: Allow reviewing of the downloaded metadata before it is applied
- FB2 Output: Write ISBN, pubdate, tags and publisher metadata when creating fb2 files
New Features of 0.9.28
- 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.
- Book details panel: Allow copying of links in the book details panel by right clicking on them.
- Kobo driver: Add support for the new Kobo Aura HD and firmware version 2.5.0
- Metadata download: When showing downloaded covers, allow right clicking on a cover to view a full size version.

New Features of 0.9.27
- 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.
- Content server: Allow specifying a restriction to use for the server when embedding it as a WSGI app.
- Get Books: Add a plugin for the Koobe Polish book store
