Breaking Changes

Set device wallpaper based on theme

Unlauncher will automatically set the wallpaper for the device's background and lock screen to the background color from the selected Unlauncher theme. This feature is automatically enabled when Unlauncher is set as the default home app (hence the breaking change), but it can be disabled via the Options by anyone who wants to set a custom wallpaper (to be shown on the lock screen).

• Set device wallpaper based on theme by @hayribakici in #112
• Refactor preferences into a new core_preferences proto file by @jkuester in #122
• Update wallpaper logic to set the wallpaper by default by @jkuester in #125

Broken Quick Button Preference Migration

Unfortunately, due to a bug in the implementation of the Quick Button preference value (to determine if the button should be shown or hidden) this preference value cannot be properly evaluated after the app is updated to a new version. This bug has now been fixed so subsequent upgrades will be successful, but when upgrading to 2.0.0 users' Quick Button preferences will be reset.

• Fix quick button preferences to not break when app is updated by @jkuester in #142
