Kobo: Nuevo Firmware 4.8.10956
Post de mobileread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=296458
The changes that I know of in this firmware are:
- New quick page turn. This was on the firmware released for the Aura ONE Limited Edition. There were some problems with it, so it wasn't included in the next general release. It only works for kepubs.
- Tracking option moved to the "Energy savings and privacy" page of the settings.
- Wishlist rebuilt internally. There are no obvious visible changes.
- Font selected for "Publisher Default" in epubs has changed. It was "Georgia", but no appears to be "Kobo Tsukushi Mincho". This is good in that this font has a fuller set of characters. But, it doesn't display either italics or bold in epubs. Which is not good.
- Some work was done on selecting text. It still isn't perfect, but appears to be smoother and more accurate.
- Stats are working.
- Changing the page display option at the bottom of the screen has changed from a long press to a tap.
- The WiFi online test has changed to a Kobo URL rather than the URL used by Microsoft.
- Support for the (possibly) mythical Kobo Clara HD.
- There are changes in the store, but I don't use it enough to really know what they are.
If I remember anything else, I'll add it here. I don't know why the page turning option has been included in the "What's new" list as it has been in several firmware versions. Maybe they forgot to announce it then.
There will be a matching update to the Kobo desktop application. It should appear today.
I haven't updated the calibre support yet. I will do this in time for the next calibre release. But, there are no changes that affect the drivers. Until the driver is updated, it is completely safe to use the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option.
