EDIT : never mind, I implemented backwards compatibility as well

I tried out all the options I usually use, even sending a "new" book to device although I didn't think that would be affected either way. Only two things don't work as before. One minor, the other a bit more problematic -- for me anyway.
- The text alignment doesn't change. I only noticed because I usually have my custom text right-aligned, and now it remains centered. I tested all the alignments, and they stay centered. (Minor for me)
- The colors for the text do not change. Background color and Border color change but Stroke and Fill (for actual Text) do not change. 99% of the time this is fine, but I do have a series of covers that have a darker background, and I need the text to be white, or at least a lighter color. (More problematic for me)
I did change numbers and such for the options I don't usually use, and they seem to do as they should, as best as I can tell.
