(or :latest)

Kobo subtitle now syncs from your Calibre library

If your Calibre library stores book subtitles in a custom column labeled subtitle (common for non-fiction and academic books), v4.0.99 surfaces them on your Kobo device. The Kobo sync protocol always had a Subtitle slot — stock CW and the prior fork never populated it, so the subtitle existed in Calibre but never made it to the device. Now it does.

If you don't have a subtitle custom column, nothing changes — Subtitle is sent as empty string and the device falls back to just the title.
