Calibre 9.9 retains search queries when users switch between virtual library tabs, provided the searching preferences allow it. The metadata downloader now ignores spacing around the colon separator for pasted ASIN and ISBN values, which reduces errors during bulk imports. Internal e-book viewer corrections fix search match offsets for non-BMP Unicode characters, ensuring accurate text highlighting.
The update includes a fix for SSL certificate loading issues on Fedora 44, resolving connectivity problems for users of that Linux distribution. The bulk metadata dialog now supports the backspace key in number input boxes set to undefined, improving usability during data entry. The content server properly applies null metadata when serving book files, preventing incorrect metadata display.
