- The bug where the menu bar in kepubs displayed the wrong icon is fixed.
- In the store, the filter in the different featured list no longer has the misleading "Featured" entry.

This question has been beaten to death in the Kobo devices forum—a quick search on "Attempt to support newer firmware" in that forum showed 169 hits.

You can still send" site:mobileread.com managed a mere 87 hits while leaving the "s off got 123 hits. More often than not, I find Google does a better job of searching MobileRead than MobileRead's builtin search does.
