Some of you on Android may have had dictionary issues. That should be fixed now.

Connecting to Wi-Fi should be more reliable on platforms where we manage it ourselves, most notably Kobo (https://github.com/koreader/lj-wpaclient/pull/11).

Color is now supported when reflowing (https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/12085).

This month's logo was contributed by @Sonnenfee
