Alright folks, this is it. This is the version we are pushing out to EVERYONE.
Thank you to all who contributed to get us here, to this big v17 transition moment, but especially:
@bitmold @tladesignz @meenbeese @syphyr @uniqx @SkewedZeppelin
AND of course, all the amazing translators who have helped us get to more localizations than ever, include many new indigenous languages not even officially supported by Android (more on that soon)
Also, don't be surprised for now that our friend Orbi is hiding a bit... we don't want to shock people too much with our v17 update, so we will roll Orbi out slowly but surely. They are still hiding somewhere in the app though...
