I have found a new entry in the AbTest table in KoboReader.sqlite on my Kobo Aura Edition 2 running firmware 4.2.8432.

Here is the entry from the sqlite prompt:

Code:

sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> select * from AbTest;
Id                                  |Expiration         |Name                |GroupId|Variables|Status|Description        |Checksum                        |TestKey
2d32b3a2-1017-43f0-8c06-33e71277c3c1|2018-11-20T00:00:00|Nickel_NewHomeScreen|2      |         |1     |2018-11-20T00:00:00|3ced0ca22d05d6c15ee3d687a2b091d7|REDACTED

The columns are as follows

It seems like Kobo is A/B testing a new home screen, but I do not see any change. Does anyone else have an entry like this, and if so, is there a different homescreen?
