on GitHub

Added

• Change a book's cover (issue #61). meta set --cover new.jpg makes a
  JPEG or PNG (up to 10 MB) the cover; meta enrich shows Open Library's
  cover next to the book's own, with both sizes, and --cover uses it;
  meta show prints the cover. The image goes in as given. Every page that
  shows the old cover follows, including Calibre's SVG cover pages, which
  take the new size; a book with no cover gets one, with a cover page first in
  the reading order. Nothing is written if the result would have more errors.
  On 544 books every cover was set and none came out with more errors. See
  docs/metadata.md § Cover.

Fixed

• Editing an EPUB 2 book's metadata no longer makes it invalid. The writer
  put EPUB 3 markup (refines, property metas, dcterms:modified) into
  EPUB 2 packages: re-writing just the title added RSC-005 errors to 457 of
  457 EPUB 2 books on our shelf (2,285 in all). EPUB 2 is now written in
  EPUB 2's own syntax (opf:role, opf:file-as, opf:scheme="ISBN",
  Calibre's series metas). An EPUB 2 book has no subtitle field, so
  --subtitle on one is refused with a message instead of written, and
  meta enrich no longer proposes one.
• Setting a field to the value it already has changes nothing. Before, it
  dropped every dc:language but the first, and added a second copy of an
  ISBN the book already carried.
• An author who stays keeps their role and sort name (file-as); a
  translator listed as a creator was turned into an author.
• Metadata edits work on Calibre 0.7-era books that write the OPF namespace
  as ns0: (6 books on our shelf failed with "unknown namespace prefix").
• A series position may be a range (--series "Dune:1-6"); it was read as
  part of the name.
• Catalogue text is cleaned. HTML entities are decoded (Computers & the internet was written as is) and duplicate subjects are dropped,
  including broken copies (Einfu hrung next to Einführung).

Measured on 544 books: setting every field to its own value changes no field
on any book, a real edit (title, authors, publisher, series, ISBN) adds no
error to any book, and every author keeps role and sort name.

Changed

• meta enrich no longer writes subjects unless --include-subjects is
  given; it lists them. Open Library merges many libraries' subject headings
  in their own languages with no language tag, so an English book got German
  and Dutch subjects.
• epublift check runs epubveri 0.24.0 and epublift repair runs epubsana
  0.25.0. epubveri checks SVG attributes per element and their keyword values
  as epubcheck 5.4.0 does (EPUB 2: RSC-005 errors; EPUB 3: RSC-025 usage
  only), and no longer flags a padded keyword (fill-rule=" evenodd") or
  paint-order, transform-box, transform-origin at EPUB 3. epubsana reads
  ids and links as epubcheck does (whitespace trimmed, %-escapes resolved,
  NFC/NFD names match). Measured on 544 books, cli-v3.2.0 vs this release: the
  same findings, statuses and exit codes on every book, and every repaired file
  is byte-identical.
