So I installed 4.2.8283 on my GloHD. My process was to uninstall KSM, update the firmware, then reinstall KSM, taking the opportunity to update koreader to the latest nightly (build 818 at the time) while I was at it.

I installed KSM and then the KSM 4.2.8283 patch version that was available last night. I also made the emergency power off modifications mainly because I wasn't sure if they were actually required or not so I wanted to play it safe in case they were.

I can start both nickel and koreader from KSM, but I can no longer switch directly to koreader from nickel by tapping on the koreader png image. Not sure if that's a known issue right now, just wanted to chime in with my experience. For now, I can just exit nickel completely when I want to switch to koreader, but it would be more convenient if it could work the way it used to where I could switch back and forth between the two without having to exit back to KSM to do so.

Another thing is that if I try to switch to koreader from within nickel, koreader will crash, and then I'm not able to start koreader again at all from within KSM until I reboot the device.
