This release should be going to all devices (except the Mini) and should roll out on the usual schedule.

My notes on the changes in this firmware are:

Sideloaded mode (see separate post)
Improvements in handwriting performance
Catalan dictionary added
Simplified Chinese support:
- Language in UI
- Three new fonts any of the Chinese languages are selected (after syncing)
- English - Simplified Chinese dictionary
- Pinyin keyboard
FNAC affiliate now has options for showing the cover
Fixes:
- Crash when opening sideloaded epubs (Adobe OOM issues)
- Move Notebook section from More view back to the tab widget on the home page when stylus is detected
- Remove File Size limit when parsing text document. Previously text files over 2MB were ignored.
- Syncing annotations across devices
- Timezone database has been updated.

There are probably other things I missed and I will add them as I think of them.

For calibre, the only change is to bump the supported version numbers. I have checked in this change and it should be in the next calibre release. Until then, it is safe to use the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option on the driver.
