There are more like this to come in the future, so stay tuned! You can now delete your custom background images you've add, in case you don't want to have that background image anymore. You can now adjust the sensitivity of the edge gestures in Lomiri. If you install a case or a bumper on your device, you can now increase the width of the edge area so that it's easier for you. Or maybe you find it too sensitive, now you also can reduce it. The new settings can be found in System Settings > Gestures. Currently only visible though on a device that supports double tap to wake. You can now use the physical camera button to shoot the photo. When requesting a file from File Manager app over Content Hub, the app opens more smoothly." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.
