Not much happened this week. A few bug fixes and a new output format, RTF. It produces acceptable results. It also embeds images into the file. The output could use some tweaking, but this will come with time. The only caveat is the output is ascii only. This is to keep compatibility with Cailbre’s RTF intput which can only accept ascii rtf files.

Pluginize has been merged back into trunk. Once a bit of testing is done by Kovid, he will be rolling out a beta for the 0.6 release. For those of you, like me, who use Ubuntu and build Calibre from source, there is a little change you will need to make in order to have it build. Open the file /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PyQt4/uic/Compiler/qtproxies.py and modify _qwidgets on line 238 to include “QWizardPage”.
