type: major
description: >
"Now double clicking on an entry in the book list will open it in the viewer. To edit metadata single click a previously selected entry instead. This is consistent with
the usage in most operating systems, so should be most intuitive for new users. Also typing any key no longer starts an edit, instead press F2 (Enter on OS X) to start editing
the current cell. Also you now have to double click instead of single clicking the book details panel to open the detailed info dialog for the book."
