- Txt/fb2/rtf/pml/rb output: Fix non-visibile element’s tail text (which should be visible) is being ignored when it shouldn’t.
- Book details panel: When displaying a link to amazon, use a country specific name like amazon.fr instead of using amazon.com for all countries

After downloading 0.8.61 to my Mac, I was unable to open books to read with the viewer/reader. Thank you.
