Release: 0.9.6 [10 Nov, 2012]
New Features
Experimental support for subsetting fonts
Subsetting a font means reducing the font to contain only the glyphs for the text actually present in the book. This can easily halve the size of the font. calibre can now do this for all embedded fonts during a conversion. Turn it on via the 'Subset all embedded fonts' option under the Look & Feel section of the conversion dialog. calibre can subset both TrueType and OpenType fonts. Note that this code is very new and likely has bugs, so please check the output if you turn on subsetting. The conversion log will have info about the subsetting operations.
EPUB Input: Try to workaround EPUBs that have missing or damaged ZIP central directories. calibre should now be able to read/convert such an EPUB file, provided it does not suffer from further corruption.
Allow using identifiers in save to disk templates.
Closes tickets: 1074623

Release: 0.9.5 [02 Nov, 2012]
New Features
Font embedding: Add support for the CSS 3 Fonts module, which means you can embed font families that have more that the usual four faces, with the full set of font-stretch and font-weight variations. Of course, whether the fonts actually show up on a reader will depend on the readers' support for CSS 3.
Sharing by email: Allow specifying an 'alias' or friendly name by which to identify each email recipient.
Closes tickets: 1069076
Embedding fonts: Allow adding ttf/otf font files to calibre directly to be used for embedding. That way the fonts do not have to be installed system wide. You can add a font to calibre via the 'Add fonts' button in the font chooser dialog for embedding fonts.

Release: 0.9.4 [26 Oct, 2012]
New Features
Conversion: Add an option to embed a font family into the book.
The embedded font is used as the base font for all text that does not specify its own font family in the input document. Works only with output formats that support font embedding, principally EPUB/AZW3. Option is found under Look & Feel in the conversion dialog. You can ensure that the font is used for all text, regardless of the input document's styles by filtering out font family styles via the Filter Style Information option in the Conversion dialog.
When changing the title/author of a book, use hard links instead of copying the books' files, for a large speedup. Only works on filesystems that support hardlinks.
Linux installer: Resume interrupted downloads and verify the SHA-512 signature of the downloaded file before installing it.
Bug Fixes
Windows: Check if any of the files of a book are in use before changing the title/author, this prevents the creation of duplicate files if one of the files is open in another program

GCC 4.7.x will emit warnings on ocaml if a function or a constant is
unreferenced. There are a few dozen of these in omake. The alternative
to disabling warnings=errors is to remove functions and contants over
many files (probably more than a dozen).
