Calibre Awards 0.2.0 Beta
This is the next public beta of Calibre Awards. Version 0.2.0 substantially expands award-source coverage and adds persistent caching for award data.
Highlights
- Expands Calibre Awards from 6 to 17 supported award sources.
- Adds support for:
- John Newbery Medal
- The Booker Prize
- Deutscher Buchpreis
- Prix Goncourt
- Miles Franklin Literary Award
- Women's Prize for Fiction
- National Book Critics Circle Awards
- PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction
- PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel
- International Prize for Arabic Fiction
- Bram Stoker Awards
- Adds persistent per-source caching. Previously downloaded award information can be reused on later searches and across Calibre restarts.
- Adds a Refresh control for each enabled award source in plugin Preferences. Refresh clears that source's cached data; the next Check Awards search downloads it again.
- Adds an informational National Book Awards entry in Preferences. The source is currently unavailable because its website blocks the type of automated access used by the plugin.
- Award-source failures remain isolated. If one website is unavailable, other enabled sources can continue returning results.
- Existing optional award write-back, output formatting, rank cutoff, and source enable/disable controls remain available.
Requirements
- Calibre 6.0.0 or later
- Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Internet connection for award information that is not already cached
Calibre Awards 0.2.0 was tested successfully with Calibre 9.14.0.
Known limitations
- Pulitzer.org may temporarily block automated retrieval. Cached Pulitzer information may still be available, and other enabled award sources will continue running.
- National Book Awards is currently unavailable because its website presents an automated-access challenge that Calibre Awards does not bypass.
- Historical coverage varies by award source. Some sources provide complete winner histories but only more recent finalist or shortlist information.
- Longlist-only works are intentionally excluded from several award sources.
- Matching is deliberately conservative. Alternate translations, transliterations, or substantially different title/author forms may not match automatically.
- Award websites can change their page structure, which may temporarily affect an individual source.
- This is a 0.x beta. Award-source and category coverage will continue to expand.
See the README for detailed coverage information for each supported award source.
