I think it has to be. The line of code quoted in the error message is one where the publication date is being retrieved - and that is only done if the publisher is set. The code did not allow for the case where the publisher was set but the date was not.

This has now been fixed so that if no date has been specified it returns the current date and continues rather than aborting. I was wondering if some other date value would be better in this case, but that was pragmatic and easy. A warning message is also now written to the log file giving the title of the book that had the issue to help with finding and correcting it.

I am not sure if Dave Pierron is going to find pressure of work interferring with getting the next beta out. If you want to PM me an email address I could send you an unoffical build with this fix (and others included) prior to beta 4 being generally available.
