Gone, as in epubcheck: a fatal error on an OPF declaring Shift_JIS, windows-1254 or Big5, which hid every other check. A UTF-16 SVG or NCX no longer comes out as "not well-formed".

Now an error, as in epubcheck: a Latin-1 chapter.

#ebookproduction #Sigil #calibre #Unicode

Also new: dir="LTR" becomes ltr.

And a stricter check: EPUB 2 style, script, meta and base elements are now checked as epubcheck does. epubsana can't repair those yet, so such a book now ends with exit 1.

Repaired EPUB 2 books with an earlier version? Check them again.

#EPUB2 #calibre

Now valid, as in epubcheck: an img with srcset and no src, and epub:switch inside a paragraph. A query-only link no longer also reports a missing file.

Now an error, as in epubcheck: image[1].jpg as a URL, aria-hidden=" true" (stray space), epub:type on head.

I suppose a lot of people will be happy to not inherit a massive physical library they don't care for and find difficult to sell; but I still keep wishing ebooks were something you could resell, gift, and pass to your children. (Maybe I'll just attach a copy of #Calibre to my will.)

Calibre 9.16 adds Kokoro voices to Read Aloud.

Its creators say they sound more natural than the existing Piper options, particularly for English text.

The release also improves…

EPUB 2: an attribute on the wrong SVG element, a keyword SVG 1.1 does not allow, or a font without its font-face is now an error, as in epubcheck. EPUB 3 gets the same checks as notes. None of the 544 books on my shelf changed.

I have now reached the point in my #nook #cloud implementation where I _need_ to integrate with the #Calibre backend sqlite database and files.

I am now painfully ensuring all my books in Calibre have an ISBN, even while knowing that the ISBN is not a unique identifier, but it's close enough to […]

Left the Kindle ecosystem a while back and switched over to #Calibre to manage my ebooks. Now testing out #Readest vs #Bookfusion for all the extra goodies 📚🤓

CSS errors now say what is wrong. Where it used to print "CSS syntax error", it now prints e.g. "invalid selector '. h-10, . y-10' at '.'" or "'{' is never closed", with line and column. A reader asked for it on Reddit.

Along the way I found and fixed four warnings or errors that epubcheck never gives, and one case where epubcheck skips a document, now filed upstream.

Third, and the new one: it checks a WHOLE calibre library and ranks the defects that recur across it — not "these 400 books are invalid" but "here are the six producer bugs behind it".
