Version 3.40 won't start

3.39.1 works just fine but when I upgraded to 3.40 Calibre starts to load but then crashes. Here's the dump from debug -g:

I've gone back to 3.39.1 for now

Thanks,

I only have only 1pc running my only copy of Calibre. Just updated to 34.0 64bit and froze with "Attribute Error" msg same as OP.


I haven't dropped down a version as I'm confident you will find a fix and give instructions here.

Ooops a typo that only affects calibre is you happen to be using a custom date column. I will release 3.40.1 with the fix in a hour or so.

[kovidgoyal]

3.40.1 with the fix has been released.

Installed and working.

Thanks!
