This version seems snappier than 8842, and Kobo may (I hope) have finally fixed the long-standing issues with the two-finger front-light adjustment. For the first time since firmware 3.12.1, it seems that the light adjustment is once again fast, responsive, works every time, and doesn't have any oddities like randomly opening the dictionary or highlighting text instead of adjusting the brightness. I've been messing around with it for the past few minutes, and everything appears to be solid. This one may be a keeper.
In the current firmware I have on the KA1, the light adjustment while swiping doesn't work well. It works, but it jumps by 6% a time, and when I stop swiping, it does one extra jump in the direction I was swiping in.

I prefer using the +/- slider with the 1% patch installed. (But I've read in the earlier thread that the light now adjusts by 1% as a default.)
