This version of the open-source ebook management software enhances the KEPUB output and fixes various bugs. A significant addition in this release is the workaround for a Qt\/Wayland bug that previously prevented the menu of the Layout button from displaying on Linux.<\/p>\n<p>New features include an option for generating KEPUB files with improved text justification. However, this comes with a trade-off of potential gaps in highlighted sections when using Kobo ebook readers. The E-book viewer also sees notable improvements, such as a fix for a regression that disrupted the \u201cshow book in main calibre program\u201d link, as well as better handling of links in large EPUB files.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Metadata Review dialog has improved tag merging capabilities. The release also updates the ebooks.com plugin, corrects navigation links in News Download, and introduces a new news source, Frieze Magazine. Other relevant updates involve enhancing the feeds from major news outlets like the NYTimes Book Review and the Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>Users can download Calibre 8.4 from the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/download\">official website<\/a> for various platforms, or install it as a Flatpak app via <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/flathub.org\/apps\/com.calibre_ebook.calibre\">Flathub<\/a>.
