As the message said, your Kobo device has been updated to a firmware version beyond what Kobo supports. Some of the more basic function will work, such as sending a book, but functions such as collection management and setting the series information won't happen.

It has been a while since there was a change on the Kobo device where it wasn't safe to follow the instructions in the message to support later firmware is safe. But, the check is there as just in case. In this case, it definitely is safe to do so. And the change to bump the supported firmware version has been made and will be in the next update to calibre.

Also, when there is a firmware update, I recommend looking in the Kobo forum here. There will be a thread to discuss the the new firmware. As soon as possible after the firmware is detected, I will make a post as to when calibre will be updated and if there are expected to be any problems.
