Hi,

Alexandria 0.5.1 has just been released.

Alexandria is a GNOME application to help you manage your book
collection.

You can get more information (screenshots, features, download links,
packages…) on its web site:

http://alexandria.rubyforge.org

This is mostly a quick bug fix version, even if some features were added
in the meantime (such as a book provider to the Amadeus Austrian
library).

0.5.0 users are encouraged to upgrade. Details are following. Enjoy!

New features:

  • Added provider for book information retrieval of the Amadeus Buch
    online library (Austrian books) ;
  • Allows user-specific themes in ~/.alexandria/.web-themes ;
  • Localized .desktop file.

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed the wording of some messages ;
  • Use alternating colours for rows in the search list of the Add Book
    dialog and the providers list of the Preferences dialog ;
  • The Amazon provider will cache information on
    ~/.alexandria/.amazon_cache instead of /tmp/amazon, allowing multiple
    users with different credentials to use it ;
  • Really ignores hidden directories in ~/.alexandria ;
  • Be more intelligent when building the list of providers by taking
    into account nil values from the GConf schema ;
  • Do not display the whole GPL text in the About dialog, just the
    header ;
  • Display an confirmation message when trying to move a book into a
    library that already has a book with the same ident ;
  • Fixed the moves action after an import process ;
  • Display an error message when trying to set an EAN/ISBN that is
    already used by another book in the same library ;
  • Forgot to mark some translatable strings ;
  • Display an error message when trying to add a book with an EAN/ISBN
    that is already used by another book in the same library ;
  • Manually added books were not automatically added in the memory
    representation of the library ;
  • Pack the cover image as non-expandable in the books list view.
