Firmware Update - 4.5.9587
As at least one person has noticed, Kobo has released firmware version 4.5.9587. This is mainly a bug fix release with few noticeable changes. It should be going to all devices except the Mini.
The release notes are: Quote:

The download links for sideloading will be added to https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo_Firmware_Releases soon. Or you can use http://geek1011.github.io/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html to view them. (Note: The results can depend on your IP address). The Mini: While the firmware hasn't been officially released for the Mini, it appears to work on the device. There are several reports in this of manual installation on the Mini with no problems. calibre: Apart from the firmware version number, there are no changes that affect calibre. I have committed the change to bump the supported version. This should be included in the next calibre release. Until then, it is safe to use the "Attempt to support newer firmware versions" option in the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended drivers. Known problems: The following are the problems with this firmware. Most are discussed later in this thread.

Thank you very much for the information.
I have just sideloaded the firmware. My H2O is not yet exploded. Calibre recognizes my H2O also with the new firmware. |

For the KA1, I wonder if they fixed: (i) the battery charging light not going green when battery is charged; and (ii) the periodic total discharge of the battery for no apparent reason (I have the lighting feature(s) fully disabled).

I doubt that is going to be fixed any time soon. There is no consistent reason for it. I have a charger where it will (most of the time, but not always) turn green and another one where I have never seen it turn green.

This is a forum for e-reader users. You should contact Kobo's customer support directly if you wish for new features to be added to the firmware.

Could someone who has updated their device already tell me if Kobo has changed the font used for footnotes' popups from the previous firmware? They have recently switched to a non-serif font with huge line-height (probably Kobo Nickel), I am kind of hoping they'll go back to using Georgia...
