Can confirm. Attempted fix by deleting config.db as described in the readme, that did not resolve the issue.

[Lordflickshot]

Same thing is happening to me

[Rumbers]

Same here, even on fresh install to new location

[Rumbers]

Perhaps related to these responses... they look to to me but maybe schema has changed?

Yeah, but I'll be blowed if I know what it means. I'm not afraid of computers, but programming is a black art as far as I'm concerned.

[Rumbers]

Yeah it's failing to read changelog_xml - i dont know python to change it
Code:

build_changes = build_data.findall(r'.//changeSet/item/msg')
build_changes = map(lambda x: html.escape(**x.text.strip(),** True),
                                build_changes)

[Lamandus]

can confirm

[Rumbers]

It's this element in the build report

[remyroy]

I can confirm. Let's see if we can fix this quickly.

[remyroy]

This should be fixed with 282a0cc . It will be part of the next release which should be done shortly.

[remyroy]

Version 1.4.13 should fix this issue. The self-updating feature of the launcher might not work if the launcher crashes before it can self-update. You might need to manually download and install the latest release.

Thanks a lot, man keep up the great work
