0.8.43 breaks my Special Titles

iwaddo77 · 03-18-2012, 05:07 AM

Hi

I've an added column which creates a Special Title based on the series and title for use on my Kindle, it is not something I wrote but copied from on the forum somewhere. It was 12 months ago now.

I've just upgraded to 0.8.43 and the column was full of template and index out of range errors, I've uninstalled 0.8.43 and reinstalled 0.8.42 and all is well.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to fix the problem but would grateful to know whether this is a problem with my install or whether anyone else has noticed this strange behaviour.

Regards

Ian

Yep, there's a bug in 0.8.43. I noticed it too. Thought the syntax of one of the used functions had changed, but it's a proper bug found in the bug tracker and fixed in the developer code.
Should be in the next release.

Thanks, I'll wait. That will teach me for upgrading just because its available!!

In particular, the bug happens if the last line of a GPM template ends with a ';'. The work-around: remove that semicolon. That semicolon serves no purpose, so removing it won't cause problems.

The bug and the changes that led to it are discussed in this thread.
