The dictionary patch Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height - in libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml - needed a small adjustment for fw 4.38.21908.
Although the change is related to dictionary font-family, it will affect anyone who uses this patch. So, anyone who has stored their own customised version of the patch will need to take a fresh copy before re-applying their customisations. Compare your old customisations with the commented-out examples at the end of the patch to see whether you'll need to tweak your custom code. |

Step 4 just means you need to be on 4.38 vanilla before installing 4.38 patches, right? You don't need to re-install 4.38 manually if you already got the update from Kobo?

No need to reinstall. The note just means make sure that you're applying 4.38 patches to 4.38 fw. Bad Things could happen if there's a mismatch.

Thanks for the patches, as always. Is anyone else having trouble with the Don't uppercase header/footer text patch? It's not working for me on my Libra 2, using the latest 4.38.21908. Oddly, when I open libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml in Notepad++, the patch shows up, but unlike all the other patches, it is not bolded/colored. I don't know enough about coding or Notepad to know what that means, but it certainly seems consistent with the patch being buggy this time around? It has always worked for me across numerous software upgrades, but not this one.
Thanks for any enlightenment/assistance! |
