It's not listed, but I wonder if there's been any changes to fix the dirty unmount/db corruption bug. I'll wait a bit before trying an upgrade.

I tried a series of ~50 mounts/dismounts while paging through a kepub ebook and no hangs. I did get one dirty bit set so wanting to check the drive popup.

The supplementary font popup when I was reading a kepub with some glyphs that weren't in the font I was using was rather nice to see.

Oh, this might be enough to convince me to upgrade right away. A fanfic I'm reading uses a lot of uncommon Unicode characters (conlangs

) and it often comes out looking weird.

I added Code2000 to my font collection for those times when an odd glyph is needed. Not the prettiest but better than an empty box.

I'll wait for the patches and then give 4.32.19501 a go.

Thats a great change. No more spending a lot of money to find out it is only a short story.....

The target audience would be a welcome addition as well.

How does this compare with similar treatment under 4.31?

With 4.31, I could manage 3-4 issues with 50 mount/dismount cycles.

That's hopeful. Many thanks.

Upgraded. I connected with a kepub open and didn't get the scan&fix prompt. Fingers crossed...

Nice.

I will update when the patches are out. Can't do without them.

ownedbycats · 04-14-2022, 08:40 PM

The only one I use is the kepub/epub font size fix but I can wait on those. (Of course, it helps that I'm not reading any epubs at the moment.)

Likewise, they get me more lines per page which has always been nice to take advantage of the bigger screens of the Kobo devices.
