Yes, fails for me too, only as of today.

Error msg I get appears to be the same. I think the issue is at the very bottom:

[snipped]
File "site-packages\calibre\web\feeds\news.py", line 880, in __init__
ValueError: The "Boston Globe Subscription" recipe needs a username and password.

The recipe currently asks for no username/password, although the site does (as an option up to now... maybe it is now required.)

Edit: oops. I didn't see the replies to the original post. Sounds like Kovid sees the same thing I did.

Edit 2: there are 2 Boston Globe sites. Boston.com, and BostonGlobe.com
The second site requires a login, and only actual (paid) subscribers can get a login. I tried logging into the first site (no paid sub required, but only a limited # of articles can be accessed) and re-ran Calibre... same result.
