An improved patching system for Kobo eReaders. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297338 . Download patches for v4.9.11311+ here.
Progress:

- Drop-in replacement for patch32lsb with exactly the same output and features (./patch32lsb)
- All-in-one patcher (base features) (./kobopatch)
- All-in-one patcher (./kobopatch)
- kobopatch: support new format
- kobopatch: support old format
- kobopatch: pluggable format system
- Automatic builds
- Alternative patch format (which has more reliable and has less complex parsing)
