Even if I don't frequent a particular piece of software's support forums, I do make it a point to get the lay of the land before applying any major updates (3 to 4, 4 to 5, etc...). Saves a lot of trouble in the long run. Especially when 3rd-party extensions are in play.
The downside of having this conversation in this particular thread is that each new post has the unfortunate side-effect of causing people who know there's an issue with this plugin (RE calibre 5) to hope there's been a new release of the plugin to address it. This is, afterall, the "There's a new version of the plugin" announcement thread and not the "There's NOT a new version of the plugin" announcement thread. ![]() Last edited by DiapDealer; 09-26-2020 at 08:50 AM. |

Of course, you can also simply use the stand alone version of DeDRM. In general, it's a good idea to do a full back up of your calibre folder before updating, especially if it's a major update like this is. I have the advantage that I have multiple macs, so I can run the older version on my laptop and then copy the dedrm'ed files to my desktop if I need to. But, I'll probably just hold off until they get things working again. |

I haven't checked in the past few weeks but the last time I looked at the github for the tools significant contributions were being made to Python3 support. We should remember that those contributing are giving there time and expertise freely and without payment. Including Laura in dealing with users problems. I am in awe of her patience as she deals with the same issues again and again.
If you use the tools I'd strongly suggest not upgrading to 5 until the tools are working with it. I doubt it will be very long. |

Only from version 6.7.0 but there were issues with the stand alone tools for a couple of the versions before that.
Based on the file dates on my PC the last reliable version of the stand alone tools is either version 6.6.0 or 6.5.5. |

I believe it was 6.5.5. The addition of KFX support required extra dependencies that weren’t easy to get/install properly on Windows.

In the past, apprentice alf has said that other things "aren't supported" (I believe), but they still worked. |

Try it yourself. They're no longer updated but still available on the previous releases page at the GitHub. Last version with standalones is 6.6.3. But as ilovejedd suggested, version 6.5.5 is probably the better option. You don't want to be decrypting KFX format with the standalone anyway.
