2022-05-19 19:36:54 Lawnchair 12.1.0 Alpha 3 is now available. We released version 12.1.0 Alpha 2 earlier today, but we unpublished it shortly after due to a critical bug that affected it.

Compared to version 12.1.0 Alpha 1, Lawnchair 12.1.0 Alpha 3 introduces backup functionality and resolves an issue where, on devices with Spanish set as the system display language, Lawnchair would crash on being opened. Buka / Bagaimana

2021-03-16 22:22:47 Hey,

It's with a heavy heart, I have to say that I am unfortunately resigning from my post as the PR Lead and Moderator from Lawnchair. It's not a decision I have made lightly or in haste.

Working full-time necessitates me spending less time towards the project and after the ongoing drama, it's just left a bad taste for me and I no longer have the mental strength to continue.

The past ~4 years as a team member were a blast. I'll cherish my memories as part of the team, and I have learnt a lot from everyone involved with the project. Lawnchair, for me, was not just another custom launcher, but felt like home.

To the team: wishing you all the very best with the future of Lawnchair, I'm excited and can't wait to see how the launcher evolves in the near future.

PSA: This does NOT, in any way, mean that the project is deprecated. Development will continue and so will the builds y'all love. Please don't make any assumptions. :)

Thanks for everything,
Abhijeet Buka / Bagaimana
