Oh, a very quick update!
A bug?

Sirtel · 07-07-2023, 04:38 PM

Heh. I just said a few days ago that Kobo updates come so thick and fast these days as to make one dizzy. I meant it ironically, but it seems some higher power listened to me. Be careful what you ask for.

Like buses. Wait for months and then three come at once.

TheSmitty · 07-07-2023, 05:22 PM

I assume it does not do much other than to fix some unspecified bug(s)?

geek1011 · 07-07-2023, 05:23 PM

Patches are out.

Just got it. Looks like another big fix release as there were no new notes on the release notes. On the format it only showed the first bit about the bubbles in the category, nothing about the notebook changes. Ditto the Google Drive access.

Edit - DNSB found the change. Looks like they caught wind of some of the sync issues people reported.
Prices in the store for recommended books did work before, but stopped working this morning for some reason. Wishlist books show prices again.

Oh yeah! Another firmware release.

DNSB · 07-07-2023, 05:27 PM

For what it may be worth, the release notes I saw read:

Fixes

Unable to download books/audiobooks from Wishlist in certain cases

I don't see that in any of the release notes I've had a look at. Where do you see this?

I read it on Slack.

I found a difference on my Clara HD. Previously if I enabled "Invert Screen" in Developer Options it did not work. Now it does.

Aleron Ives · 07-08-2023, 02:29 AM

In older firmwares, inverting the screen required a reboot. Are you saying it doesn't require a reboot anymore, or even after rebooting the screen would not invert on older firmwares for you?

I'm guessing that @julian67 is meaning an earlier version of 4.37.

I enabled the "block wifi upgrade" patch but I don't think it installed before this version forced it's way in. So annoying. I just started the Plus trial so I have to turn on wifi. Hopefully the freshly patched device will not upgrade tomorrow or whenever they send an update out!
