Notes and more patches

Notes:

* This firmware version has a new bug that affects full-screen reading mode, once triggered it causes the screen to not refresh at all (Aura) or to refresh every page (other devices). It is not caused by these patches, it happens with the stock firmware too. It also affects normal reading mode, but in a much less obvious way. See this post for a fuller description.

* There is a new `Force user line spacing in ePubs` patch. This patch is in two parts, part one in libnickel.so.1.0.0 and part two in librmsdk.so.1.0.0, you need to enable both parts for it to work.

* The `Change dicthtml strings to micthtml` patch is included in the main archive. If you don't know what this is then you don't need it. (Something to do with custom dictionaries.)

* The `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins` patch has a new option to set the left/right @page margins to a fixed size instead of zero as in earlier versions of the patch. (Default is still zero.)


More patches:

A replacement hyphenation dictionary for the Dutch language. (This dictionary works with all firmware versions, but needs to be re-installed after each firmware update.)

A Turkish language hyphenation dictionary can be found here. Although this firmware version has support for Turkish as a UI language, it doesn't come with a Turkish hyphenation dictionary, so this one will probably remain installed after a firmware update (unless Kobo add their own in a future firmware version.)

`Only show multi-touch options on multi-touch devices` (Useful for Glo only)

A patch to `Increase ePub L/R margins by 2% in normal reading mode only`.

A patch to `Un-Force user font-family in KePubs`

A patch to `Disable KePub FullSceenReading block img style` which fixes a problem that only affects KePubs in full-screen reading mode.

A patch to `Ignore ePub Adobe XPGT stylesheet (page-template.xpgt)`

It turns out the existing `Custom page refresh options` patches don't work on the Aura. This `Custom page refresh options (Aura only)` patch can be used instead.


If you know of any other patches for firmware 3.18.0 post them in this thread and I'll add them to this post.
