Changes since 1.46

New Features

Cover Grid: Allow user defined emblems (icons) to be displayed next to covers. Now you can have your own custom icons displayed next to covers in the cover grid, based on simple rules you create. For example, you can display a heart icon next to books with a rating of more than four stars or a tick mark next to books you read and so on. To create these rules go to Preferences->Cover Grid and click the Emblems tab on the left.
E-book Viewer: Use wiktionary.org and wordnik.com as dictionary providers instead of dict.org
When looking up words, the word definition is now opened in a separate browser window. The language of the dictionary to lookup is automatically selected based on the language of the current book. To lookup a word in the viewer simply select the word with your mouse and right click, then choose 'Lookup in dictionary'
Edit Book: Allow customizing the templates used when creating new, blank HTML/CSS files via Preferences->Editor settings.
Comic Input: When sorting the pages inside a comic, recognize numbers, so that page2 sorts before page10
Conversion: When inserting a metadata jacket, format the series number using roman numerals. This behavior can be disabled by using a custom jacket template, as described here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/customize.html#overriding-icons-templates-et-cetera
Template language: New function author_links: for each author of a book returns the author link value entered in Manage Authors.
