Changes for version 0.4.0
- New Features:
- IMP support!
- It is now possible to unpack unencrypted IMP files both into .RES directories and into HTML files. Encrypted IMP files can still be unpacked into .RES directories.
- .RES directories can be repacked into IMP files.
- IMP metadata can be edited in-place
- LZSS compression and decompression is now available as a general library component, though this may be split out into a separate module in the future.
- Thanks go to Nick Rapallo for assistance with this feature set, and Jeffrey Kraus-yao for most of the original reverse-engineering work.
- IMP support!
- Bug Fixes:
- Mobipocket files with EXTH headers but no EXTH records now unpack correctly.
- Library and Syntax Changes:
- Some of the input and output options in the 'ebook' command-line tool have been standardized to '--input' or '-i' and '--output' or '-o'. Check the documentation for exact syntax.
- EBook::Tools::Unpack::usedir() has been moved into EBook::Tools as a procedure, not a method.
- The known uid check in EBook::Tools::search_knownuids() has been factored out into the twigelt_is_knownuid() twig search procedure. This causes a lot of 'undefined value' warning spew from XML::Twig to be bypassed and has the added advantage of removing a loop
- It does, however, slightly change the search behaviour -- previously, the highest priority known UID in the array was selected if multiple known UID identifiers were found. Now, the first dc:identifier matching any known good UID is used instead. It's possible to reclaim the old behaviour by sorting the returned array, but on afterthought, it is probably better to let the user file order determine the package id by default.
