version 5.0
posted on 2020-01-10
Starting 2020 with a bang! Now for one of the biggest changes since ever, FK Kernel Manager is no longer only for FK, it's now called Franco Kernel Manager because... *drumroll* you can now add support to auto-flash/download/view changelogs/support links on any kernel! It's VERY simple for kernel devs to support this and there's instructions inside the app. Already more than 20 devs support it (they helped test the feature) and hopefully more to come :)
Thanks for all your support!
