Fixes a bunch of bugs and adds some new features. Note-taking is coming next release. Apparently.
Full details at http://shkspr.mobi/blog/index.php/20...rmware-update/
If you've installed it, please could you let us know if it fixes any bugs other than the ones mentioned at the page? It mentions:
  • processing large eBooks
  • word-wrapping
  • minor bugs with symbols
One bug that I would love to see fixed is that the Global refresh setting seems to make no difference. Either way it seems to do a partial refresh. Also the number key navigation method doesn't work on every screen. Sometimes you have to use the arrow keys even though the options are numbered.

At the moment I'm unsure whether to update the firmware or wait, just in case there are unexpected side effects. Someone mentioned the font sizes getting smaller, but I can't find that link now (it's mentioned in the other link you posted, but not whether it's so small it's an issue, or whether all the three fonts sizes have been reduced).

All my books are ePub and if not UTF-8 already could be updated in Calibre, so I don't have the issues with word-wrapping or symbols, which affect the TXT and basic HTML files, and my largest book loads fine.
