Funny (well maybe wrong) behavior with calibre v 5.31.1

I just installed calibr 5.31.1 to verify if my modified pluggin is working...

the debug startup looks as follow:
Code:

Well, I wonder what is going on...
I select a line in calibre
right click to display edit metadata then edit metadata one book at the time
A new windows pops-up...

I do NOT download ANY metadata...

In the comment (tab "normal view")I delete everything end enter:
Code:
line 1
line 2
I press tab "HTML source" to find:
Code:
<div>
<p>line 1</p>
<p>line 2</p></body></html>

<p>line 2</p></body></html>
</div>
When I get back to "normal view" tab, I get:
Code:
line 1
line 2 
line 2
Hitting the normal view tab and HTML tab alternatively will duplicate/increase the content... I got to the point that calibre crashed due to lack of memory in editor.py

I have not find this reported... I have not observed this behavior in calibre 5.29, the version I was using previously...

I doubt that this behavior is tied with my particular set of books, however, I am quite puzzled when some books seems NOT to be affected at all...

Question: I need to deinstall calibre 5.31 to reinstall 5.29... Will I loose any setup by doing so???

Warning. I hope I was complete in reporting my problem as I will not be able to access my computer before next tuesday or wednesday next week.

Try installing 5.31.1

5.31.1 fixes a bug in an HTML serialization library calibre uses that broke a few things, such as the comments editor tool in the metadata dialog

Also, just in response to this: No, as long as you don't use a clean uninstaller tool (e.g. Revo Uninstaller, Geek Uninstaller) to clean up leftover files. There's been one or two users on MR who also had those nuke their library.

Thanks a lot... I think I need to learn to read the log a bit better

I was convinced that I had 5.31.1 because I had the latest (read, no update was proposed) and that was the version available for download...
I guess the code used for prompting an update is not sensing the most minor revision in 3.31.1

Anyway my problem seems to be solved with a manual update to 5.31.1

Good guess

There's an RSS link at the bottom of the Downloads page, IIRC it pushes a message for all releases.

Calibre doesn't detect minor updates. I kind of wish it was an option though.

I agree, especially since the issuing of a minor update usually means that there was a serious problem with the major update the preceded it.

Would it be possible to include a "download the latest version if it is better even by a minor version" in some place easy to find such as under the preference tab, or under a clearly idendified icon in the preferences (of course provided that it does not exists yet, because I could not find it...)

That would NOT swamp people with useless messages, but would certaily help to upgrade before to report problems...

Anyway, thanks to take care.
