    Time Event
    1:50p
    Calibre 4.0 released
    Version 4.0 of the
    Calibre ebook management application is out. "It has been two years since calibre 3.0. This time has been spent mostly in making the calibre Content server ever more capable as well as migrating calibre itself from Qt WebKit to Qt WebEngine, because the former is no longer maintained.

    The Content server has gained the ability to Edit metadata, Add/remove
    books and even Convert books to and from all the formats calibre itself
    supports. It is now a full fledged interface to your calibre
    libraries.    "

    [$] What to do about CVE numbers
    Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) numbers have been used for many
    years as a way of uniquely identifying software vulnerabilities. It has
    become increasingly clear in recent years that there are problems with CVE
    numbers, though, and increasing numbers of
    vulnerabilities     are not being assigned CVE numbers at all. At the 2019 Kernel Recipes event, Greg
    Kroah-Hartman delivered a "40-minute rant with an unsatisfactory
    conclusion" on CVE
    numbers and how the situation might be improved. The conclusion may be
    "unsatisfactory", but it seems destined to stir up some discussion
    regardless.
