THIS RELEASE HAS ISSUES AND THE DOWNLOAD HAS BEEN PULLED. PLEASE WAIT FOR v0.5.1, WHICH WILL BE COMING SOON

This is a major new release of Kobo UNCaGED.

Compared 0.4.x, this release has the following changes and features:

  • NickelMenu is now the preferred and only supported method of launching KU
  • Better integration with Nickel for importing content, and displaying messages via NickelDBus
  • New web based interactive UI, delivered by the Kobo web browser
  • Graphical settings page. No more configuration via ku.toml
  • Added option to directly connect to host instead of autodiscovery. Useful for unsual network environments, or overloaded WiFi environments
  • Can choose multiple Calibre instances if they are found on the network
  • Passwords are now entered (and saved per Calibre instance) via the UI, when required
  • Ability to populate the Kobo subtitle field with the contents of a standard or custom field, with formatted text

Upgrading from 0.4.x or earlier

  • Kobo UNCaGED now uses NickelMenu for launching. kfmon/fmon support has been deprecated. Please install NickelMenu first before installing KU. You should remove Kobo-UNCaGED.png and .adds/kfmon/config/kobo-uncaged.ini, or even completely uninstall kfmon if no longer required
  • NickelDBus is automatically installed on first run if you do not already have it installed. Be aware that your Kobo will automatically reboot if this needs installing
  • Your existing ku.toml file will be ignored. You can reset your settings via the UI, and they will be saved
  • You may wish to complete delete the .adds/kobo-uncaged directory before installing the new version, although it is not strictly required

A huge thanks to @NiLuJe and @pgaskin for their assistance with this release! It wouldn't have been possible without them.
