Firmware version 4.28.18220 should be going to all devices that are usually updated. This is mainly an update to get the other devices on the same firmware release as the Elipsa. There are not that many changes for the other devices.

My release notes, which is relative to the 4.26.16704 as I don't have an Elispa is:

Fix: USB-C misdetection (where M1 chip MacBook's and possibly other devices were not detecting Kobo devices via USB-C). This fix will only work on newer Kobo devices. Issue may continue to persist on Touch devices (and its variants), Glo, Aura HD, Mini, Aura SD, and Aura H2O.
Changes to screens when updating device.
DPI used in ePubs changed from hardcoded at either 72 or 96 to now use the device DPI.
"Invert Screen" in the Developers option no longer works. "Dark Mode" was added for the Elipsa and can be enabled with a config file option.
When reading, the battery icon can be tapped to show the battery level and the link to the power settings.
For some formats, the menu when reading has "Hints and Tips". It is not there for sideloaded kepubs.
The browser will now use the "filename*" attribute if it exists. The calibre server sends this attribute, so it should solve a problem reported here in earlier in the year.

This firmware version is already supported in calibre.
