Kobo wifi was abandoned?

What's least firmware of kobo wifi? I notice it seems not updating for a long time. And very few developments have made for this device. Was it already abandoned by kobo?

Realistically I wouldn't expect another Wifi update. It looked at one point like their might be, but nothing on it for a long time. Don't have it near me so I can't say what last update was for it. In fairness they did improve it significantly from release, so while it might be nice to have new features that would be an unrealistic expectation at this point.

There was update for Kobo wifi a little after KT was released. I remember talk of more development for Kobo wifi with request for volunteer testers but that was before they were bought by the Japanese company. The Kobo wifi software is good with few problems but doesn't have book shelves. Better that it still works than introducing new bugs is my thought. Only remaining problem is stiff 5 way switch cover that cracks or seperates from plastic and makes switch hard to operate. Mine are way past warranty, still works, but seldom used. Gave one away to a relative that likes it.
