I had checked OTA recently, also went to PocketBook's support site and didn't see any upgrades a couple weeks ago, but they say it was released on August 31st. Apparently they just took a while getting it uploaded and/or posted and linked.
I don't know if I'll update as I'm happy with how the HD 3 works now and don't really like dark mode. I'm always leery of bugs. And there are quite a few "Core changes" in the release notes.
Quote:
1. Added DARKmode, recommended for reading in the dark. When the DARKmode is activated, the letters are displayed light and the background is dark, so that the background of the e-book page does not contrast with the dark surroundings and the eyes are not impaired.
It is possible to enable or disable the inversion of illustrations in the settings («Frontlight & DARKmode»). This option is only available if DARKmode is activated.
2. The control panel of the device can now be configured, that is, the most often used controls can be arranged on the control panel according to the user’s preferences. The following controls can be put there: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Task Manager, Flight mode, Synchronization, G-Sensor, Lock, Power off, Screenshot, Search and the shortcuts of all applications. Moreover, the quantity of controls in this control panel can also be configured.
3. Now it is possible to filter the list of notes in a book in the Notes Application and in the Reading Program. It is possible to separately select markers, comments, screenshots, pencil notes, translation notes and all notes.
4. Added the possibility to change the font size in the list of notes in the Notes Application and in the Reading Program.
5. A new firmware update UI makes the firmware update procedure more convenient. Before downloading or after installing a new firmware, you can see the list of changes to this firmware as a user-friendly formatted list. Moreover, three is now the possibility to automatically download the firmware in the background. After download, the user only need to consent to the installation of the firmware update.
6. Added the possibility to download and install morphological dictionaries to significantly improve the quality of translation of words while reading with the dictionary. Morphological dictionaries allow to lead different forms of words back to the underlying infinitive or basic form. This helps to better find them in databases of dictionaries.
7. Added the Text Suggestions feature to the screen keyboard.

I'm guessing (don't know for sure) that they're making the HD 3 match the features of the new Verse Pro. I wasn't sure there was going to another update for the HD 3.
Still nothing about whether you can turn the Touch Screen Lock back on if you turn it off. I had to revert to an older version of the software to get that working again (then re-upgrade to 6.7 again) – as the choice was not in the Menu (Double press) option. I'm hoping they fixed that in this newest update, but I don't see it mentioned in the list of fixes.
