Has someone already tried? I would not like to lose TTS and the Android back function.
I installed this. It makes several improvements. More Bluetooth audio support. Now there's an actual built-in music player. Also now you can choose to read in full screen (without the blacked out system bar up on top) in any app. Long hold on next page button no longer refreshes. It now has become the Home button. Long hold on prev page button is still the Back button. The prev and next page buttons are now volume control buttons on short press, so any app that supports using volume buttons for page turning can now utilize them.

Some of the problems I had before, like TTS not working in OReader, are now fixed.

I really like the update overall. I don't like that the refresh button is now the Home button but I guess that's necessary to quickly get out of some 3rd party apps while if they are set to full screen mode. Maybe there is some other way to access the refresh screen functionality and I just haven't found it yet. There is also an additional icon on the top right hand side of the screen next to the close-all-apps icon. It toggles between a left and right arrow and an up and down button if you click on it. I have no idea what this is for. I'd really appreciate it if someone can enlighten me!
