Changes for version 0.3.0

  • New Features:
    • Configuration file and directory support
    • Mobipocket HUFF/CDIC support
    • Unpacking DRM-protected Mobipocket files now just skips the encrypted text, but still extracts the unencrypted images
    • EBook::Tools now takes advantage of several external helper files, if they are made available:
      • Mobipocket generation possible if mobigen is available
      • Unpacking interface supports MS Reader (.lit) if convertlit is available
      • Downconverting interface supports MS Reader and Mobipocket if convertlit and MobiDeDRM are available, respectively.
      • See README.Helpers.txt for more information
    • excerpt_line() procedure available to show just the beginning and end of a paragraph or other long line of text
    • ':all' export tag is available for all modules to export all procedures at once.
  • Library Changes:
    • EReader.pm: write_* methods now return the filename(s) written instead of just returning 1
    • Unpack.pm: gen_metadata() no longer calls split_metadata() if the raw option is specified
    • Tools.pm: fix_languages() now creates a <dc:language> if none exists (this isn't mandated by the standard, but mobigen requires it)
  • Bug Fixes:
    • Unpacking an eReader book now correctly adds the text to the OPF manifest
