Notes and more patches

Notes:

This firmware version fixes the page refresh bug that especially affected full-screen reading mode in 3.18.0.

There is another bug that affects KePubs only in full-screen mode, but it is not a big one: once you read past a chapter break the margins can no longer be adjusted, until the book is closed and re-opened.

The following patches are currently missing, I'm not sure yet whether/when they will be back:
* `Compact homepage layout (Glo only)`
* `Compact homepage layout (Aura only)`
* `Remove white borders from homescreen tile book covers`

The `Disable pinch-to-zoom font resizing` patch is no longer needed as the Aura's pinch bug has been fixed in this firmware version.

There is a new `Fix three KePub fullScreenReading bugs` patch which replaces the following three patches:
* `Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug`
* `KePub zero body margin/padding`
* `Disable KePub FullSceenReading block img style`

There are new `Custom page refresh options (Aura only)` patches, as the other `Custom page refresh` patches don't have any effect on the Aura.

These patches are new since the last version, see the notes in the patches themselves for info:
* `ePub disable built-in body padding-bottom`
* `KePub full justification default`
* `Un-Force user font-family in KePubs`

See post #63 for a summary of how to customise the `Custom reading footer style` patch.

There is a new Kobo Patch GUI that can be used to select which patches you want to enable/disable. With the patches for this firmware version it can also check for mutually-exclusive alternatives.


More patches:

A replacement hyphenation dictionary for the Dutch language. (This dictionary works with all firmware versions, but needs to be re-installed after each firmware update.)

A Turkish language hyphenation dictionary can be found here. Although this firmware version has support for Turkish as a UI language, it doesn't come with a Turkish hyphenation dictionary, so this one will probably remain installed after a firmware update (unless Kobo add their own in a future firmware version.)

A patch for `'Changing the info panel in full size screensaver`

A patch to increase the `Dictionary frame size`


If you know of any other patches for firmware 3.19.5613 post them in this thread and I'll add them to this post.
