Changes in 2.4

New Features

An all new random cover generation algorithm, which generates covers using many different color schemes and cover styles
Now when you click the Generate cover button in the Edit Metadata dialog a cover based on the book metadata is generated using random colors and styles. You can customize the random cover generation by long clicking the Generate Cover button, which will popup a dialog where you can create new color schemes and customize other aspects of the generated cover as well.
Edit Book: Redesign the saved searches pop-up as a dockable window. Editing saved searches now happens inline and the global search/replace keyboard shortcuts work in the saved searches window
Edit book: Change the text of the 'Mark selected text' menu entry depending on whether it will mark or unmark the text
Edit metadata dialog: Allow undoing a metadata download by long-clicking the Download metadata button and choosing "Undo last metadata download"
Edit metadata dialog: Allow undoing the changes to individual fields by right clicking on the field and selecting Undo after a metadata download.
Download metadata dialog: Allow using Enter key to select cover and left/right keys to move between metadata results.
Fix the row numbers in the book list remaining wide when switching libraries if some books were marked before the switch.
Fix keyboard focus not going to cover grid after doing a search.
DOCX Input: Support for the keepNext paragraph property to keep successive paragraphs on the same page.
Template language: New template functions: raw_list() to return the items in a list such as tags without any sorting/formatting applied to them; author_sorts() to return the author sort strings from the authors table for the authors in the book.
