I believe these are the release notes.

Quite a few new features.

Libby (Previously OverDrive)

• Multiple library cards: You can now link up to 6 library cards to your Kobo account. Go to kobo.com/librarycards to get started.
• Important: To keep reading borrowed books, you’ll need to re-link your library card. Go to kobo.com/librarycards to get started.
• Now, your card(s) will be linked to your Kobo account instead of an individual eReader.
• Libby is available in select regions; see help.kobo.com for more details.

Kobo Stack

• Kobo Stack is a premium subscription offering powerful features to seamlessly manage your entire digital library, personalize your content, and secure both your eReader and notes.
• Upload to Kobo Cloud with two quick methods: Email your eBooks, PDFs, and documents to your unique Kobo Stack address, or drag and drop files directly into your Kobo library on kobo.com.
• Uploaded content and annotations will be saved in the cloud and synced across connected devices.
• Access exclusive workbooks for journaling, note-taking, and planning.
• Visit kobo.com/stack to learn more and get started.

CloudLibrary

• Link your Kobo account with CloudLibrary to send borrowed eBooks to your Kobo eReader.
• Available with CloudLibrary partnered libraries in Canada and the United States.
• Visit kobo.com/cloudlibrary to learn more and get started.

Annotations

• This update introduces a new renderer to display eBooks. This may slightly change the layout of the pages for eBooks already on your device.

Readium LCP DRM

• If you have LCP DRM EPUBs from a library or other eBook provider, you can now add them to your Kobo eReader.
• When first opening an LCP DRM EPUB, you may be prompted for a passphrase; see your book provider if you need help with this.
• Passphrases will be stored locally on the eReader and attempted automatically when opening subsequent books.
• To clear saved LCP passphrases, go to More > Settings > Accounts > LCP data > Clear.

Adobe DRM sign in

• If you use Adobe DRM books, you can sign into your account directly on your eReader.
• Note: Adobe Digital Editions now uses ByteBooks for sign-in. Visit dtsbytebooks.com/transition-help to learn more, set up your account, or get support.
• To sign in on your eReader, go to More > Settings > Accounts > Adobe.
• Once signed in, you can add Adobe DRM license files (.ascm) to your eReader, then open them in My Books.

Wi Fi WPS (Wi Fi Protected Setup)

• Connect to a new Wi Fi network using WPS to join without entering a password.
• If available on your router, go to Join a Wi Fi Network > Connect via WPS, then press the WPS button on your router.

More

• Clock: You can now display a clock while reading. Turn this on or off via Reading Settings.
• Bluetooth: Turning on Bluetooth no longer causes Wi Fi to turn on.
• PDF rendering: Kobo Clara Colour and Kobo Clara BW use a new renderer for DRM-free PDFs.
• eBook rendering: EPUBs & Kobo EPUBs (KEPUBs) now share the same rendering engine.
• Accessibility: Large Print Mode has moved to More > Settings > Accessibility.
