Create, edit, and re-arrange your own custom folders.
Automatic Organization ("Caddy"):
An experimental feature to automatically categorize your entire app drawer into smart folders.

Place widgets directly in the dock.
Show icon labels for apps in the dock.
Wallpaper Carousel:
A new pop-up menu item to quickly switch between your current and recent wallpapers, similar to the Pixel Launcher.
App Pausing:
For rooted users with QuickSwitch, you can now manually pause applications directly from the launcher.
Expanded Search Options:
Add custom search engines for web suggestions in the app drawer.
New web search providers added, including Ecosia, Kagi, Firefox, Iceraven, and Mull.
"Deck" (Experimental):
An initial implementation of a "no app drawer" mode.

Improvements

Pop-Up Menu:
The long-press menu options can now be reordered.
Settings:
Reorganized many settings for a more intuitive experience and centralized all search-related settings into a single screen.
Core & Under-the-Hood
Type-Safe Navigation:
The settings infrastructure has been rewritten using modern Jetpack Compose Navigation for enhanced stability.
Build & Dependency Updates:
Major updates to dependencies and build scripts improve performance and maintainability.
New Translations:
Translations have been updated from Crowdin.
Nightly Builds:

Crash & Bug Fixes:
Implemented numerous fixes for various OEM skins (Lenovo, Motorola), custom ROMs, and older Android versions.
Regressions & Known Issues
Icon Badges:
Icon badges for work profile apps are temporarily non-functional due to core changes in the A15 rebase. This is a high-priority item for a future update.
'Customize Icon' State:
The bottom sheet for customizing an icon may not update its state immediately. Restarting the launcher will apply the change.
App Drawer Folders:
Editing app drawer folders inside the app drawer will not save changes. Also, dragging all apps from the folder can cause the launcher to crash. This is a high-priority item for a future update.
