Next Stable Release?

[PiperKev]

Hi!

I've been using the nightly builds on my KOA3, and it's been working swimmingly, but I was wondering if there's any projected timeframe for the next stable release? I have to use the HF version of the nightlies since I'm on firmware 5.17.1.0.3, so I can't use the current stable release, but it would be nice to not have to give in to my OCD and check for updates every morning!

Thanks,
Kevin

Probably soon, but just keep running the version you're running.

Will do! It works like a charm, and I rarely, if ever, use the native kindle os for anything these days!

The new 2025.04 version was just released, along with a rather substantial user guide update.

Is there a way to get an epub version of the current user guide?

Thanks in advance,

There is no epub versionof the user guide, because it is intended to be used from PC/phone in parallel to KOReader open on the ereader (Kindle, etc).

If you desperately need it as epub opened from KOReader itself, I can only suggest an alternative of saving the website as HTML from PC and then cpying this html file and the associated folder to your ereader to open with KOReader.

That's not entirely true. There's this automated conversion I set up last year. (Unchecked, might be ugly or worse in parts.)

Frenzie:

Much obliged for your reply!

I've downloaded de .epub you kindly attached to your previous post.

However it won't open properly: it starts on a middle page (as the first thing you see) the end of it has a proper table of contents the links on it don't respond correctly: same with regular page turning if you start reading from the beginning of the document.

Mayhaps the file needs some editing before release 😅

Gratefully yours,

In any case, HTML is rendered by mupdf engine rather than crengine, so your experience will be better just try it

[Incanus]

I do use internet and social media and whatnot.

However, reading on my reader is something I do offline.

Hence the need for an epub or an otherwise offline manual.

But that's just me, obviously 😉

Kind regards,

[mergen3107]

Well, once you save the User Guide as html + its content, it sill be offline too

Alternatively try : https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub for epub or simply print to PDF

It's not released of course.

But it's just calibre, so I'm not sure what seems to have gone wrong there after the guide update.

When I looked at that file in Sigil, it was a bit of a mess. When I ran epubcheck, it generated multiple error messages. Quite a bit of the HTML that is not supported by ePub2 or ePub3 was carried over to the ePub file. None of the coloured text boxes show up, etc.

Having nothing better to do while babysitting since the babysittee was busily sleeping, I did a quick pass at cleaning up the User Guide as an epub. I placed it on my Kobo Libra Colour as a kepub.epub and epub. The Kobo renderer did a fairly decent job with the kepub while KOReader lost a couple of images but looked fairly decent. Plato and RMSDK both had issues.
