Oookay. That's odd. But as long as it works.

• Fix for fallback metadata labels, allow other text in titlepage_entries
• New 'Error Column' feature - On update/overwrite fail, save error msg to a custom column.

Note that www.fanfiktion.de doesn't just require you to say 'yes, I'm an adult'. To see adult content there, you have to have an official government German, Austrian or Swiss ID card or passport number. We (the developers) don't have any of those, so some one who does, please test it.

As usual, thanks to Ida for the new sites.

I'm very sorry, but how do I install this? I extracted it and don't see an exe file.

It's a plugin for the calibre program. You need to have calibre installed and follow the instructions for installing a plugin from here.

There is a standalone Command Line Interface version here, but you need python.

Thank you...I knew how to do it within Calibre, just hadn't installed a beta before.

The new version is working for restricted stories on AO3. It is asking for a log-in for each story, despite the log-in information being in the personal.ini Just an FYI...I'm just happy I can download!

Really I just want to say you and your team are amazing. You're incredibly responsive to the needs of the userbase...never seen anything like it, really.

Oops. I forgot to include:

Note: As part of the archiveofourown.org fix, the configuration section for AO3 is now [archiveofourown.org], not [www.archiveofourown.org]. Please change your personal configuration accordingly, if you have customized your settings for archiveofourown.org.

That did it...awesome! Again, thank you so much to everyone involved for all the hard work! Now I get to waste even more time reading fic when I should be working!

Great, fanfiktion.de is now working on these stories, too. Thanks!

The message you get if you want to see adult content is "Diese Geschichte wurde als entwicklungsbeeinträchtigend eingestuft und daher mit besonderen Schutzmaßnahmen versehen.
Diese Geschichte kann nur von registrierten Benutzern zwischen 23:00 Uhr und 04:00 Uhr, oder zeitlich unbeschränkt nach einer Altersverifikation eingesehen werden."
Meaning between 2300 and 0400 you can read the story if you are logged in or you can read the story all the time after an age-verification as described by JimmXinu.

Actually, iatheia figured that one out. My German's not that good.

Is there some German law mandating that I wonder? Because it's really weird.

@JimmXinu
It is a safety measure in order to protection of minors.
According to fankfiktion.de description: (Google Translation)
"Each side of FanFiktion.de is characterized by a special label that indicates for which age group it is suitable. Parents can download the special filtering software (eg JusProg or the child protection software from T-Online) to specify which content may be accessible to their wards and what not. We ask all parents to take advantage of this system, because only such a comprehensive youth protection can be ensured."

And thanks to iatheia!

It's not a law, it's just people going crazy over the off chance that their innocent and sheltered child might come into contact with anything that resembles sex... or in this case the administrators of the site? A simple "when were you born"-cookie would do the job, no need to go to such lengths.

I sent an e-mail to the support staff about the verification issue. I'll post the translated reply when I get it.

As usual, there may be a delay before calibre notices the new version. You can get the latest by going in and telling calibre to install it again.

If you want ageverification from outside the 3 countries, you can send a scan or a high quality photo of your id to the support staff. They will set the permission manually.

That sounds so unreasonable that I would simply stop visiting the site.
