Beta testers for calibre 3.0 needed
Hi all,
After almost three years of on-and-off development, calibre 3.0 is now ready for beta testing! Please run the beta as you would normal calibre and report any problems you encounter in this thread. I have been personally using the beta calibre on linux as my normal calibre for several months now with no problems. There are no changes to the database/conversion/viewing/editing/user interface code so those should all work just as before. That said, always be safe by backing up your data before trying out the beta. Thank you for your help in making calibre 3 possible! The major new features are: Spoiler:
Backwards incompatibility: Spoiler:
How to install the beta Spoiler:
Known issues Spoiler:

Installed Windows portable, welcome wizard did its normal thing, portable started, showed the splash, and hung - Windows reports program not responding, so I terminated it. Here's the splash
No other calibre was running - this was immediately after a WU reboot. My calibre 64 bit (2.84), and a previously installed calibre portable (2.83) are working fine. Might as well ask something I intended asking, assuming its not there already. Could there be an option to use a nominated browser rather than than the system default e.g. I would nominate ==>> C:\Program Files (x86)\QupZilla\qupzilla.exe. BR |

I've installed calibre portable, edited a book and use some functions. No problem... aside of the details font has changed.

It looks like different font, but I can be wrong. I'll check in detail at home, and I'll be back to you.

One big plus, from what I've seen with the calibre-debug: scrollbars! The current calibre is almost impossible to use on a portrait screen ![]() Edit: same situation as nqk: calibre-portable hangs, calibre.exe doesn't. Last edited by Sweetpea; 05-10-2017 at 05:35 AM. |

How do I run calibre-debug for a specific instance of calibre portable. It always runs the installed version - i.e. the one in the path. Meanwhile I'll try the 32bit version BR |

Odd calibre-portable.exe works fine on my computer.
What kind of hang is it? Is it using CPU? WHat happens if you wait for five minutes, does it stay hung? |

@BR: calibre portable is 32bit.
And you can use whatever browser you like with the server. If the issue, as others have reported is only with calibre-portable.exe, calibre-debug will not help. |

I'm accustomed to startup times of < 20secs on a +100K book library. I wonder if it has to do with existing environment variable settings, mine are: Windows 10 64bit 1607, up to date as of 2 hours ago. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 05-10-2017 at 06:12 AM. |

Hmm if it is using CPU then it's likely not a permanent hang. Can one of you use Process Monitor and see what it says about what the process is doing?
