New Features
• Rewrite the HTML metadata parser to make it faster and more robust.

• PocketBook driver: Scan for books files in the entire device not just in the 'books' folder
Bug Fixes
• Fix a regression in 1.0 that could cause the dates in custom date-type columns to change in some timezones when using the edit metadata dialog to make unrelated changes.
• When replacing formats in a book with a very long title+authors on windows, calibre could leave behind the old format file, because the filename shortening algorithm has changed. Handle that case.

• Fix a regression in 1.0 that caused Search and Replace in the bulk metadata edit dialog to be much slower than before

• Virtual Library tabs: If the user activates a hidden tab via the Virtual Library button, change the name of the All Books tab to reflect the hidden virtual library.

• HTML Input: Handle malformed OPF files when converting.
• Ensure that the Formats custom column (if present) is updated when a new format is created as a result of a conversion.

New Features
Edit book: Add a tool to check spellings, access it via Tools->Check spelling
The calibre book editor now has builtin spellcheck. You can install new dictionaries via Preferences->Editor->Manage spelling dictionaries. It comes with builtin dictionaries for English and Spanish. You can add OpenOffice dictionaries (in .oxt format). The tool checks spellings in all HTML/OPF/NCX files in the book, taking into account any language declarations in the book, so that it will work correctly on multi-lingual books as well. The code is very new, so there may well be bugs. As you type spell checking is not yet implemented.
