Firmware 3.15 discussion thread
3.15 has been released for all models, Arasyi has posted in the Firmware thread.
I've installed it on my H2O and didn't have any problems, other's here will identify what changes have occurred because I can't really see any differences at the moment. ![]() (In due course, murg will include all the 3.15 variants in the first page post of the Firmware thread.) |

As has been noticed, Kobo have released new firmware and the desktop application this morning. Both will have released for: Kobo Glo, Kobo Aura HD, Kobo Aura. Kobo Aura H2O, Kobo Glo HD. The Touch has not been updated but, from the beta list, "will be updated in a future release".
The release notes for the firmware are:
The release notes for the desktop application are:
The following are the the notes I made during the during the beta testing. The are a compilation of what Kobo told us and what we found. They will be incomplete and there may be some things that I have included that Kobo took out at the last moment. Changes:
Fixes:
For other known bugs, if I didn't list it, it probably wasn't fixed. But, I don't have a full list and mainly check the things I am interested in. Support for firmware 3.15.0 and the Glo HD was added to calibre in version 2.26.0. There were no changes in function. Last edited by davidfor; 04-27-2015 at 10:45 PM. |

I've put this on my Glo and it's fine. It will be better when it's patched.

Do sideloaded kepubs get treated as they do in 3.13, i.e. the whole time until current, and next chapter, and book are finished?

They bought back the double-tap to refresh feature! Thank you!
Edit: The menus don't seem to refresh under the selected item anymore, so the ghosting after you close the menu is very bad. For example try marking a book as finished, the "Mark as finished" ghost is very visible. In earlier firmware it would do a refresh just for the area of the screen under the menu to avoid this. Edit2: The menu ghosting problem seems to be because the selected menu item is now highlighted as grey text on black background, whereas in earlier firmware is was white text on black background. The ghost that remains is the grey text. It might be possible to fix that with a patch to the appropriate stylesheet. Last edited by GeoffR; 04-28-2015 at 02:55 AM.

I think that's really a refresh when removing the menu bars. The double-tap is just display the bars and hide them quickly. But, it is a good way to clean up the screen
