Comment 2 for bug 1767589

The latest calibre release was before the latest Kobo firmware release. Hence, it did not include the update to recognise the latest firmware version. The update will be checked in today ready for the next calibre release.

In the meantime, the message you see when the new firmware is detected includes instruction to allow the driver to handle the update. For this firmware and calibre version, it is perfectly safe to do this. In fact, it has been a while since this was not the case. But, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Also, when you see new firmware on your Kobo device, I recommend looking in the Kobo forum at MobileRead (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=223). As soon as any new Kobo firmware is seen, there will be a thread opened to discus it. I usually post early in this thread with the details I know of the firmware including the status of the calibre and the firmware.
