This month's release addresses a few long-standing PocketBook platform issues to bring the experience more in line with other platforms. A big thanks to @ezdiy for the effort.
On Kobo it's now possible to enable USB Mass Storage without (re)starting Nickel (#6552). Since most of the KoboUSBMS tweaks required touching the startup script, a full, proper Exit -> Start cycle is required (or a device reboot). With a simple KOReader restart, the old startup script would still be used, and it doesn't know how to deal with the new changes, which at best means a crash or a shutdown.
We'd like to thank all contributors for their efforts. Some highlights since the previous release include:
