I wouldn't say nickel is "everything" but rather "everything you see on the screen". What you don't see is the kernel, which is linux.

Soooo if you asked me "what firmware runs on kobos" my answer would be "mostly linux and nickel" lol. Many hacks in Developer Corner involve shutting down nickel and starting some other program in its place.

To answer your question, I would rather say firmware (as a whole) has a version rather than nickel has a version.

Apologies for mostly-off-topic-ness of this post
I'm looking forward for those two fixes:
