+- [major] E-book viewer: Support for jumping to and displaying paper edition page numbers
+
+  If an e-book contains embedded information about the pages from the paper edition of the book,
+  the calibre E-book viewer can now jump to a page number via the Go to button in the viewer controls.

+  by adding "Pages from paper edition" to either the header or footer in the viewer settings.
