Firmware 5.2.190625 (Tolino)
Recently Kobo released yet another update for firmware 5.xx, currently only used by the latest Tolino devices.
DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THIS FIRMWARE ON YOUR KOBO! Official changelog:
The german news blog "Papierlos-Lesen.de" noticed some more changes, that are not (directly) mentioned in the official changelog:
The blog also lists a few bugs, that have NOT been fixed yet:

Sounds like a mess. Are we certain Kobo is moving towards a unified firmware for Kobo and Tolino as some have suggested? These sound like completely different systems. Part of me covets that cloud sync for side-loaded books, but I don’t covet all the bugs.

Yeah. We really don't need Tolino bugs in addition to the Kobo ones.

Why are we posting firmware update notices for devices that aren’t Kobos in the Kobo forums?
This firmware will never populate to a Kobo device naturally, and while some speculate that Kobo is going to unify the two brands that hasn’t happened yet. |

Because as a Kobo person, it's interesting to see what FW kobo are releasing. I do believe FW 5.x will come to at least the new Kobo devices. When that happens is anybody's guess, but my gut feeling is that FW 5 needs a bit more time in the oven before they roll it out to Kobo devices. |

I tend to agree with Sherman so I'm willing to see the messages posted here.
