We tagged Pressbooks 4.3.1 and Pressbooks Book 1.10.3 on GitHub today and deployed them across our hosted networks. Here’s what’s changed: Pressbooks 4.3.1 NOTICE: Pressbooks 4.3.1 requires WordPress 4.8.1. NOTICE: Users of the Pressbooks Custom CSS theme must upgrade to Pressbooks Custom CSS 1.0 for compatibility with Pressbooks 4.3.1. [CORE ENHANCEMENT] Added a debugging switch to Custom Styles (see #946).…
Manually updated PB plugin and themes via FTP. System appears to be stable.
Github-updater 7.3.0 caused a white screen of death, so had to return to version 7.2.0
Sidenote:
Never have been able to automatically update PB since moving to github, as I continue to get the same error:

As per their documentation:
[T]he GitHub API … only allows 60 unauthenticated calls per hour. Please set a Personal GitHub Access Token to avoid these timeouts.
You can do that in GitHub Updater’s settings.

It needs public_repo access.
If you are having issues with GitHub Updater itself, you should visit their GitHub account and open an issue.

Back to the past of FTP manual updates as this github is too frustrating for me.
Thanks,
Did the update to Pressbooks 4.3.4 work for you without issue using the new built-in updater?
Had to install via FTP unzip (method is to place a period in front of foldername to hide plugin, then expand new file - this operation is done when no users are accessing the server). PB server 4.3.4 now operating with PB theme 1.10.4
When I tried WordPress update, I had the following error:
