Kobo have changed the linespacing in fw 2.10.0 and later compared to fw 2.8.1 and earlier (not sure about 2.9 as I never used that).
The new method is a scale from 1.0 to 3.0, but it no longer corresponds to the CSS line-height in em. The new minimum line spacing of 1.0 seems to be about the same as the old minimum of 1.3 with most fonts, while oddly they have increased the maximum spacing.
However there are some good things about the new method: it is now possible to set the readingLineHeight in the configuration file lower than 1.0, it used to be limited to 1.225; and the line spacing patch (which lets you choose any range of line spacings you want) works much better with fw 2.10.0 and later than it did with 2.8.1. With 2.8.1 some kepubs had problems if you set the line spacing below 1.225, but now all kepubs seem to work with any line spacing just as well as epubs.
Edit: I think setting readingLineHeight to 0.8 would give you a CSS line height of about 1.05em, but it might depend on which font you are using.
