Welcome to the release notes for ConvertLIT 1.8.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Summary
|
|
A. Usage changes for DRM5 support
|
|
B. Bug fixes
|
|
C. Small GUI front-end
|
|
|
|
A. Important note: This release, as did all previous releases, changes how
|
|
DRM5 files are handled.
|
|
|
|
To enable ConvertLIT for DRM5, do the following:
|
|
Run "ReaderKeyRecoveryTool.exe" on a machine with an activated copy of
|
|
Microsoft Reader
|
|
|
|
It should display the email address for your activation, and create a
|
|
key file in the ConvertLIT program directory.
|
|
|
|
Click "[Get Key]".
|
|
|
|
Wait for Microsoft Reader to load.
|
|
|
|
Open a DRM5 ebook in Microsoft Reader. Microsoft Reader should exit -
|
|
this is intentional.
|
|
|
|
ReaderKeyRecoveryTool should display a "Check Mark" with a long number.
|
|
|
|
If you exit Reader without opening a DRM5 book, you'll need to re-run
|
|
ReaderKeyRecoveryTool.
|
|
|
|
Once you have the "keys.txt" file, you can run ConvertLit on any machine,
|
|
although there is no support for the emulating the ActiveX control to allow
|
|
downloads of encrypted LIT titles.
|
|
|
|
** Please Note *** ReaderKeyRecoveryTool is NOT Open Source, nor is it
|
|
"Free" (Libre) software, although it is distributed without cost. It can be
|
|
redistributed only with the ConvertLIT binary package. There are many reasons
|
|
for this being closed-source, but if you have concerns about this, please
|
|
contact us.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
B. This release is intended to correct all known outstanding issues with the
|
|
convertlit program:
|
|
|
|
The primary bugs fixed are:
|
|
Dictionaries are now properly expanded.
|
|
Completely rewrote space handling, to fix "italics" bugs.
|
|
Changed compression library to a new version to fix rare hangs.
|
|
Create subdirectories. (Use "-d" to disable).
|
|
|
|
Remaining problems:
|
|
If ConvertLit fails during conversion, the temporary files are not
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
ReaderKeyRecoveryTool "hides" behind MSREADER.EXE
|
|
|

C. LitConverter GUI Wrapper
|
|
|
|
I've included the contribution of a 3rd party, with express permission from
|
|
the creator, of a small GUI wrapper. While I can provide limitted support,
|
|
I'll pass on any bugs to the original author.
|
|
|
|
This tool is again, not open source, but redistribution with the ConvertLIT
|
|
package is expressly permitted.
|
|
|
|
I hope this will address the balance of useability while not drastically
|
|
expanding the program's footprint.
