I am currently re-working the entire framework. Probable features of the upcoming version 2.0:
  • a user interface (Kindlet) to enable/disable individual patches. The UI itself will be localizable, and most probably will also support the configuration of individual patches' parameters.
  • support simple localization / configuration of patches, by simply dropping .txt files into opt/jbpatch/.
  • "dynamic" configuration files, which do not require to restart the device: for the moment, this is mostly interesting for the margins patch (i.e., "close book, change settings, reopen book with the new settings"). As of now, I cannot guarantee that this will actually work, but that's the idea.

This means that from my side, all actual patch development is currently on hold, until the new version of jbpatch is ready. (It also means that the new version will be incompatible with all currently existing patches. However, that is not likely to be an issue, because all "official" patches so far have been released by me, and I will adapt all of them to the new version before publishing it).

As always: don't hold your breath, it may take a bit of time to finish this - I'm doing it in my spare time. But of course, all comments or suggestions are welcome!
