The statement in the Oasis press release is ambiguous. It seems that "new" applies to "size and bold settings" and not "as well as ragged right alignment".

From the release notes for firmware version 5.8.9 released in April 2017 (from the Internet Archive):

Quote:
This update includes general performance improvements and the following new features:

Ragged Right Alignment: You can now read using left-aligned (ragged right) text instead of justified (aligned on both left and right margin). This new alignment option can be selected from the Display Settings (Aa) menu within Kindle books that support Enhanced Typesetting. On the Kindle eBook Store page, look for "Enhanced Typesetting: Enabled" in the features list.
