Firmware 4.10.11591
I just installed the subject firmware on my Kobo Aura ONE. I can't find any release notes, so I'm not sure what's changed. The only thing that I have noticed so far is that long presses are now required to change the format of the reading progress reported in the footer.
I've notice a couple of bugs I've been monitoring still haven't been fixed, but I'll leave that for the bug report thread. I am hoping the helpful gentleman that usually advises whether "attempt to support newer firmware" may be used with new firmware releases will comment on the compatibility of this setting with this release |

The new firmware can probably be called the "Walmart" release. I believe this will be released to the Aura ONE and later devices. I don't know about the other devices as yet.
The changes I know of for this firmware are:
If I find anything else, I will update this list. For calibre, there are no changes needed except to bump the supported firmware version number. This change has already been checked and will be in the next calibre release. Until then, it is safe to use the "Attempt to support newer firmware versions" in the drivers.

Interesting! Is this what I think it is? Borrowing from Overdrive directly from the device and having the Overdrive book be in your account for the loan period (and thus sync to all devices using that account)? Will it be available outside the US? |

It doesn't appear that they have expanded the supported countries. The FAQ only lists Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. |

By the looks of https://geek1011.github.io/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html it appears they have rolled back to the previous version (4.9.11311) for the Aura ONE.
