All patches mentioned in this post can be found in libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml

Old patch KePub stylesheet additions stopped working in fw 4.28.xxxx. It has been replaced with 2 new patches. You cannot have both of them enabled at the same time.

KePub stylesheet additions - text justify
This one should be enabled if you used to use the old patch with option Example 1: Make full justification the default enabled.
KePub stylesheet additions - optimizeSpeed
This one should be enabled if you used to use the old patch with option Example 2: text-rendering:optimizeSpeed enabled.

For the remaining 2 options from the old patch:

Example 4: Make KePub font sizes match ePub font sizes
Enable patch ePub uniform font scale instead. This has been a better way of doing it for a long time.

Additionally, anyone who prefers to have their [Aa] font-size slider set further to the left to achieve their perfect visual font-size in both epub/kepub can also enable patch Set font scale factor. This second patch is purely optional.
Example 3: text-rendering:optimizeLegibility
We don't know how many people used this option. Unfortunately there was no way to create a new patch which would work equally well for all users.

I do have a beta patch which should be OK for anyone who never reads in a language which reads vertically rather than horizontally. Because it's not one-size-fits-all, it isn't included in the standard kobopatch pack. If this option was important to you, please respond in this thread.
