Seems 4.38.23171 and 4.41.23145 have been pulled. Does anyone know why?

Could it be a recurrence of the database corruption bug? I haven't bumped into it myself, but I tend to return to the homescreen before connection.

I also go to the home screen. I did update the firmware but have not installed any eBooks since I did.

I've updated one or two fanfics (with Kobo Utilities' 'update TOC'), but not imported any new books.

I haven't run into the database corruption issue with this firmware. I was experiencing it almost nonstop in the buggy version a few months ago. (And, yes, I ALWAYS return to the home screen before connecting.) The only issue I've noticed is that the last line on a screen shows the top of the first line of the next screen, even with line-spacing set to 0. Once I adjusted the line-spacing, it seems ok, but I haven't experienced this in a long, long time. That doesn't seem like enough to pull the update, though.

That's a long standing issue with KePub.

edit: oops, you were talking about the linespacing, not the corruption

True, but I hadn't had to adjust linespacing over the course of several firmware updates. All of a sudden, with this update, I had to adjust linespacing for books I had started while on the previous firmware. So something changed. But it still doesn't seem like a big enough issue to pull the firmware back.

Huh, I think I noticed the same thing - on all newly-added books, I use Kobo Utilities to set the same beginning settings (Rakuten Serif, font size 30, line-spacing of 6, margins of 4).

After installing the firmware, I had to do the same thing. I didn't really think anything of it, just thought it was some issue with the CSS of the books.

The links to both firmware versions have been restored. Strange why it was pulled in the first place.

My guess is it was a mistake given that they are back now.

Intern fell asleep on the keyboard.

It was an issue with how crash analytics were being handled.

Can I apply patches for this firmware version? Thanks.
