What's new/fixed/changed/broken in 4.20.14622?

What is that? Three upgrades in ten days? Kobo must be mad at you for some reason.

Obviously Dev Ops, Agile and all the other Buzz words. :D
Based on my years of IT etc experience, I'd say wait a few days or more if your Kobo is OK, or even go back to 4.19.14123 if that's possible (it might not be due to database changes).

I really really appreciate this site, and also the brave early adopters that test and report here.

There is no reason to go back if you could. If you have an issue with the first or second 4.20, move to the third 4.20. The patches should be out soon.

FWIW, 4.20.whateverthefirstonewas was still getting deployed OTA (on "kobo" affiliate) something like 25 min before the .whateverthesecondonewas got released, as that's what happened to my Forma as soon as I exited KOReader, which lead to a bit of puzzlement when I saw the thread half an hour later ;).

It's the weekend. The next firmware release probably won't be until Tuesday. :D

I love it when the firmware gets updated. I feel that I'm getting a newer and improved Kobo reader.

And the patches are out: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=3963590

Still, you have to feel a little sorry for those who are putting out the patches when they they get updates in batches like this.

I notice that I did not need to enable Attempt to support newer firmware in Calibre for this firmware to work with it.

still looking for an answer to this.

how will the reading experience change, if I connect and sync ( from 4.19)?

Much improved highlighting with ePub.
Faster update when changing settings in the Aa menu.

Several firmware tweaks in rapid succession....

A sale on Clara and Forma in North America, but only for a few days....

I wonder what Kobo has up its sleeve.
