  ## What's New The second Beta release of Cyclauncher focuses on tag folder visual customization, favorites management limits, improved drag-and-drop reordering physics, and stability improvements during screen unlock transitions. ## New Features - **Tag Folder Monochrome Theme**: Configurable grayscale effect for tag folder borders, folder icons, and internal app preview icons, accessible via a dropdown area selector in Settings. - **Favorites Limit & Dead Key Pruning**: Enforced a 13-item limit on pinned favorites to preserve clean UI layouts, with automatic pruning of uninstalled apps and orphaned tag keys. - **Highlights Recent Apps Action Menu & Tag Badge**: Added long-press context menu support to recent app chips in Highlights, along with a tag indicator icon for apps assigned to tag folders. - **KeepAndroidOpen Countdown Visibility Toggle**: Added an eye icon button in the banner to toggle between showing and hiding the remaining days counter.

  ## Improvements & Fixes - **Drag-and-Drop Reordering**: Introduced 35% hysteresis and 2D matrix coordinate offset compensation, eliminating top element freezing and smoothing icon swaps. - **Unified Launch Tracking**: Standardized launch tracking across Main Screen, Search Screen, and Widgets, with isolated search screen history clearing that preserves recently updated apps. - **Unlock Transition & Lifecycle Fix**: Asynchronous status bar visibility updates prevent UI freezes and status bar flicker when unlocking the device or resuming the launcher. - **Expanded Backup & Restore**: JSON backup now includes launcher settings, custom tag app ordering, monochrome preferences, and KeepAndroidOpen display state. - **Memory & State Optimization**: Migrated gesture coordinate states to primitive state holders to avoid unnecessary object boxing and recomposition overhead. - **Store Compliance**: Removed unnecessary BIND_APPWIDGET permission from manifest in favor of runtime framework binding.

  ## What's New This release marks the transition of Cyclauncher from Alpha to Beta. The core feature set is now stable and complete. This version introduces several ergonomic refinements, new visual controls, and interaction improvements across the launcher. ## New Features - **Monochrome History Icons**: Added a toggle in Settings to display history app icons in grayscale. Useful for visual clarity and reduced distraction in the history panel. - **Haptic Feedback Setting**: Added a configurable haptic feedback toggle for touch interactions throughout the launcher. - **Marquee Text Support**: Long app labels in search and history now scroll via marquee animation instead of being truncated. - **Swipe-Down Quick Actions Overlay**: A new gesture overlay triggered by swiping down from the top of the main screen, providing configurable quick action shortcuts.

  - **Hand-Sided Persistent Scrollbar in Folders**: Folder contents now display a persistent scrollbar that adapts to the configured hand orientation (left/right), improving one-handed accessibility. - **Icon Color Filtering**: Search results can now be filtered by icon color using the aerodesign palette displayed above the alphabet grid. - **Edit Tag, Reorder, and Hold-to-Delete in Folder Menu**: Extended tag folder context menus with inline rename, drag reorder support, and a hold-to-activate delete action. ## Bug Fixes - Fixed gesture detector not restarting correctly after closing an action menu, which caused missed touch events in subsequent interactions. - Fixed the side alphabet grid touch bounds calculation, resolving cases where taps near the edges were not registered correctly. ## Performance & Stability - Optimized state management and UI recomposition across multiple screens, reducing unnecessary redraws. - Modularized the Settings screen into distinct composable sections for improved maintainability and load performance. - Deduplicated shared UI components and unified spacing constants across the codebase.
