Calibre 8.0.1 changelog:

New features

Much improved Kobo support
calibre can now natively edit, view and convert KEPUB format files used by the Kobo. It also automatically converts EPUB to KEPUB when sending books to Kobo devices (can be configured by right clicking the kobo icon in calibre).

Connect to folder: Allow connecting a specific device

calibre can now connect to a folder and treat it as though it is a USBMS based device. This is useful particularly on Chromebooks where USB devices appear as folders rather than actual devices.
When completing names for fields that contain hierarchical data in prefix mode match prefixes after every period
ToC editor: Allow moving of multiple selected items in the Table of Contents
macOS: The calibre application icons in the dock are now displayed in a white frame to follow Apple's current recommended icon style
Kobo driver: Add support for new firmware on Tolino devices
Book details: Add option in to suppress author search links
