Random things about this firmware version:

Top-left main menu (i.e. the one which appears everywhere except for the reader) is now a clock (everywhere, not just the home screen).
New global bottom navigation (Home/My Books/Discover/More[My Articles/Activity/Beta Features/Settings/Help]). State persists between these views. This also means I'll need to re-test all of the NickelMenu actions making use of the MainWindowController.
New style for library tabs (it looks nicer to me).
No more pagination controls in the library views.
The right side of the book list in the library seems to be misaligned on my Aura2v1? (update: this was the space reserved for the scrollbar, but I still don't like it...)
There's a new `org.bluealsa` DBus wrapper in libnickel, implying the next Kobo will have Bluetooth audio?!?
There's a new ReadingMenuTab widget (currently unused) with TOC and annotation items, implying they were testing making the reading view popup have toc/annotation tabs (I hope not, as that will waste quite a bit of space).
The web browser now appears as a pop-up with a huge amount of wasted space.
TODO
