There are other PRs that are waiting on 3.x support in https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec/milestone/7, but they are not required for 3.x support.

Timeline

There is no timeline. This will be done when it is done. This is all volunteer work and depends on how fast we can get people to test and approve pull requests.

rm2fb now supports up to 3.8.2 ! :-)

There has been no rm2fb release yet. The official version still only supports 3.3.2: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-framebuffer/releases

[sasdallas]

So, 3.x support only will go up to 3.3.2 because of rm2fb?

So, 3.x support only will go up to 3.3.2 because of rm2fb?

For now. A lot more work and testing is required for later versions as well. 3.6 updated glibc, 3.9 update Qt to a new major version. All of it requires sorting out a rm2fb solution, and if that requires using a fork of rm2fb that doesn't have backwards compatibility, a new repository split would be required, which means we need to test the upgrade path properly.

So when can I install Koreader via it in Remarkable 1 with version 3.8? Thanks!

There is no timeline. It'll be done when it's done.

Thank you!

[jkesselm]

MANY thanks for the status update!

[Eeems]

All that is remaining is a full test of all packages in the testing branch while on 3.3.2. I'll add a list of all the packages to test that will be used to keep track of the status soon.

[Eeems]

Testing is done. There are a couple of pull requests that need to be merged, and then this is ready to go in the next stable merge.

Tested tailscale-systemd, it works

[Eeems]

New stable merge PR is pending validation and approval. The earliest this will be merged is Monday. Due to turnaround times on getting PRs approved though, this may be longer.
