Probably not. I check https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html though likely there would be a new thread in this forum if a new version arrives.

SW changes with testing & debugging are slow. Really slow.

Almost everyone now seems to be releasing betas and letting the users test. Amazon's releases and later remote enabling of features is stupid. Windows updates are hardly tested (The Insider scheme needs scrapped and replaced by a QA dept) & Android updates have stupid descriptions.

I use Linux Mint now as Ubuntu is too leading (bleeding?) edge. Years ago I would have updated to "latest versions" of OS (windows from 3.0 to NT and Win7, skipped Win2K & Vista), Programs etc. Not now. So I'm on an LTS 20.1 of Mint instead of 20.3 and don't have latest LibreOffice. I wait a few weeks and read descriptions of bug fixes/features on Calibre or plugins on website & forum.

The biggest security issue is now the Browser. I have script blocking. Email is desktop and never loads ANY remote content. I don't open attachments or click on links unless verified with sender.
