## Overview Cyclauncher v1.0.0 (Build 28) marks the transition from release candidates to the first official stable release. This milestone introduces comprehensive multi-language localization (expanding coverage to 7 languages), robust backup and restore for all launcher configurations and widgets, multi-profile lifecycle isolation, rendering performance optimizations, and ergonomic UI polish. ## Key Changes Since v1.0.0-rc.5 ### Internationalization and Localization * Added native translations and Fastlane store metadata for Simplified Chinese (`values-zh`, `zh-CN`), Spanish (`values-es`, `es-ES`), German (`values-de`, `de-DE`), Hindi (`values-hi`, `hi-IN`), and Japanese (`values-ja`, `ja-JP`). * Structured language selection in Settings to display the English name as the primary title and native script as the secondary subtitle to prevent redundant text. * Localized emoji placeholders in tag creation and editing dialogs.

* Standardized Title Case capitalization across settings menu options for all language locales. ### Backup and Restore * Expanded dynamic backup export and import to encompass all user preferences, highlight screen section orders, search widget layouts, and language configurations. * Added custom character mappings to backup archives with automatic search index rebuilds upon import. * Implemented live configuration reloading in `LauncherViewModel.reloadSettings()` covering highlight sections, widgets, search layout alignment, and icon packs. * Added settings and character mapping counter badges to `TagsBackupConfirmDialog`. ### Multi-Profile and Stability Hardening * Isolated package removal broadcast processing across user profiles (Personal, Work, Private Space) using user handle hash qualifiers. * Resolved user handles directly from component keys to prevent launch failures for secondary and work profile applications. * Offloaded preference writes to `storageExecutor` to synchronize state access and eliminate potential disk IO contention on the main thread. * Hardened `IconPackManager` with volatile resource references and atomic cleanup routines to prevent race conditions during pack unloading. ### Performance and Rendering Optimizations * Eliminated idle animation overhead in tag folder popups when closed or unrendered. * Deduplicated tag state flows in `LauncherViewModel` to reduce redundant Compose recomposition cycles. * Cached snake indicator vector paths during scrubbing in `SideAlphabetSearchLayout`. * Optimized concurrent cache access in `AppColorManager`. ### UI and Ergonomics Polish * Synchronized search history flow updates dynamically across home and search views. * Improved left-handed and right-handed layout alignment across the rectangular alphabet wheel, tag components, and main menu. * Enforced animation preference checks to suppress dropdown menu transitions and tab animations when system animations are disabled. * Integrated `TouchMarqueeText` into tag dialog tabs to handle extended tag titles without clipping. * Unified inactive visibility-off icon tinting to a consistent muted gray for hidden status bar and search widget controls.
