Using 4.6 here. For a long time I was a faithful weekly updater, and then life got in the way... and now I just update the occasional plug-in.

You can do what a lot of people are doing (one full install and one portable install). If you want to run 5.x as your main Calibre, install the 4.23 portable and then you can use 4.23 to remove any DRM and 5.x for everything else.
Right, but as I mentioned at least twice:

I suggest you install 4.23 as that works rather well.

I installed 5, but once I saw de-DRM doesn't work I rolled back to 4.23 and will wait for everything to sort itself out.
I have the portable 5.x installed so I can test plugins. I hae been testing the current code for the DeDRM plugin and I've tested some of the plugins that I use that were not fixed for Python 3 before 5.0 was released.

Also, if you want to annotate, you need 5.x.

Because, with 4.23, you can switch between 4.23 and 5.x without affecting calibre datebase.

Well for one thing, 4.23 is compatible with the 5.x database. So if anyone wants to install a portable 5.x, then the database change won't be an issue.

Also, 4.23 as the latest updates/fixes for the 4 series.

I guess I might have uninstall and go get an older version of Calibre and reinstall I guess if I can even find one. What a pain in the arse. Last time I ever just update Calibre when it tells me there's an update available like I usually do!
This is a community garden. If you want tomatoes, you're welcome to start digging.

Previous versions of calibre are easy to find. Here's the last that works for DeDRM: https://download.calibre-ebook.com/4.23.0/

Anyone have a link to the step-by-step for rolling back to 4.23?

Is there any way to achieve this without needing to re-install existing plugins?

Sincerely,

Blaine

The latest release seems to still be 6.8.0. Unless you just mean the repository itself?
