Have no idea what's different. Just figured I'd get this thread started because I'm curious. |

Oh, noooooo. Kobo really wants to make our (me, jackie_w, NiLuJe) life busy ... Every time we finish updating the patches and announce it, Kobo releases another version (this is now the third time).
Fun fact: There are now 5 active versions between the 6 main affiliates (see below). Last edited by geek1011; 09-30-2019 at 05:05 PM. |

Sorry. Does your site automatically search for and update its database when a new release comes out?

Basically, Automatic: signature image, main table, affiliate-version table, my private archive of firmware versions, other affiliates popup. Manual: past versions popup, version availability table (the one with a lot of green and red squares, and a column for each version), past versions by hardware table (the one at the bottom). |

Grabbed this on an unpatched H2O original I have laying around.
The update notes were identical to the ones from 4.17 and so far I see no surface changes to anything. Perhaps David will have details he can share. The affiliate is set to beta. I don’t plan to update my Forma until patches are released unless there’s something major I missed in this cursory look. |

I've decided to go ahead and upgrade the 2.0. I'm curious if it will work with Calibre (may not because the firmware will be too new). ... Alright, 4.18 installed without a glitch. ... And Calibre still doesn't like it, but that's understandable since it's a brand new release. |

Kobo seems to be releasing updates rapidly. Does it matter if I miss some of the updates with my KA1 and then go to the current version?

A few changes. Forma owners gaining Dropbox access is likely the biggest one.

I don't know what changes there are, but the patches for 4.17.x (overall) do not work.

P.S. That Dropbox stuff looks interesting, and gives me quite a bit to play with (I might be able to do something interesting with it). |
